Daily Note: Today should be quite interesting. Futures are down to 4380, but up off of 4372(4378 SPX) which is our main support line for today. 4330 remains a major downside inflection point, and we think that would be todays low should larger selling ensue. To the upside we note resistance at 4405 and 4425. […]

SpotGamma Report for: 07/29/2021 PM
Daily Note: The market started off hot out of the gate right into the 4225 area, before succumbing into a close of 4410. We note futures dropped sharply after hours to 4400 on the back of poor AMZN earnings. You can also see that our intraday options indicator (subgraph) was initially bullish, but once the […]
Trading Futures Using SpotGamma Levels and The HIRO Indicator
The following is a guest post from Doug Pless. When I plan to trade ES futures during the day, I begin my morning preparation by reading the SpotGamma AM Report (which looks like this). The report provides commentary on overnight shifts in gamma levels for SPX as well as many key metrics including the following: […]
SpotGamma Report for: 07/29/2021 AM
Daily Note: Futures are on 4400 after a quiet overnight session. There are a cluster of large combo strikes around 4425 which we view as the top for today. SPY notional gamma is roughly 3x that of SPX, and so Call Wall gamma resistance is more of a “band” in between 4400 SPX and ~4415 […]

SpotGamma Report for: 07/28/2021 PM
Daily Note: A big nothing from the markets on FOMC day. The SPX closed -0.82 pts to 4400. SPX options volume was average at 1.1mm contracts. The VIX closed down 1pt to 18.50. While we arent sure how markets will digest the FOMC overnight, our models are pretty clear. The upside is capped until/unless the […]

SpotGamma Report for: 07/28/2021 AM
Daily Note: Futures are flat to last nights close at 4395. Today we anticipate a quiet morning session, with some movement in the afternoon due to the 2PM EST FOMC. The Call Wall pin holds at 4400, with large support at 4362. 4420 is major resistance above. Our general view of FOMC days is that we […]
SpotGamma Report for: 07/28/2021 AM
Daily Note: Sellers took early control, pushing the SPX down to 4373 before rebounding sharply back to 4400. Our major downside levels showed at 4378/4375 and its interesting that our HIRO real time options indicator picked up a distinct change in flow when the market hit that level. As you can see below the options […]
