🚨 The Setup That Matters Most Right Now
SPY is sitting ON the flip at $708.00. Not near it. On it.That's a razor's edge. And it matters more than most traders realize.
When a major index ETF sits directly on its gamma flip level, dealers go from stabilizing (absorbing volatility) to destabilizing (amplifying moves). Right now SPY's dealer exposure is effectively zero — meaning the next directional move doesn't have the cushion of dealer hedging pushing it back.
In plain English: the market is coiled. When it moves, it moves.
