Seems to apply right now more than ever…. A Peter Lynch quote: “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.”
$SPY closed at 650.34. The gamma flip level is 651.
66 cents separated today's rally from a completely different market regime.
Below 651, dealers are short gamma. Every move gets amplified in both directions. Above it, they flip to sellers, dampening the rally.
Here's what nobody's talking about. CTAs are sitting on 344K contracts short. That's a colossal amount of fuel waiting to ignite.
But their algorithms don't care about Iran peace deals. They care about moving averages. The 20-day sits at 661. Until price sustains above that, the systematic crowd stays short.
So you've got a mechanical paradox. The squeeze needs CTA covering to push through 651. But CTAs need 661 to start covering.
Quarter-end window dressing gave us today's 2.91% pop on massive volume. Biggest single day move in a year. And buybacks are in blackout, so there's no corporate bid backstopping this.
Last time we saw this exact setup, negative gamma plus massive systematic shorts plus a sentiment catalyst, was October 2023. That squeeze ran 8% in two weeks once the flip happened.
I think we grind toward 655 to 661 this week as the gamma flip triggers mechanical buying. But without buybacks, 661 is where it gets real.
$VIX crushed 17.5% today and still sitting at 25. That's not complacency. That's a market still pricing real risk beneath the surface.
Does the plumbing carry us through, or does 651 become the ceiling? What's your read?
$SPY Massive 3% rally… what’s next?
In this video, I break down what both bulls and bears should expect from here, depending on how price plays out.
I also go over what I think happens next and how I’m planning to trade it.
$NVDA Semiconductors will lead the next leg down
NVDA and the semiconductor sector are likely to drive the market lower.
They’ve been the backbone of this rally and when leaders roll over, the market follows.
Right now, semis look like some of the best short setups.
Once they fully break down and trigger capitulation, that’s when the real buying opportunity shows up.
Until then we wait.
They want to ban your car, tax every breath you take, and kill industry.
“This whole Green Deal is one giant scam for power & profit.”
Slovak MEP just went nuclear in the EU Parliament Who else is sick of this hypocrisy?
While Iranian women are finally celebrating their freedom…burning their headscarves, tearing off the forced veils, and breathing freely for the first time in 46 years - we in the West are promoting and even celebrating the covering of women, calling it “choice”, “modesty”, “cultural respect”, or “diversity”.
At the precise moment when a people is tearing itself free from 46 years of theocratic chains, we quietly import and normalize the very ideology they are risking their lives to escape.
Meanwhile, the political law-religion of Islam is infiltrating our systems more and more deeply:
In our schools, where criticism of Islam is becoming taboo while other religions can be freely questioned.
In workplaces, where demands for prayer rooms, halal food, and gender-segregated spaces are growing louder.
In politics, where blasphemy laws are sneaking in through the back door under the name of “hate speech protection”.
On our streets, where some openly support terrorist groups like Hamas and mourn the death of a tyrant like Khamenei.
In our universities, where free speech is curtailed the moment it touches Islam.
In our media, where honest reporting on Islamic extremism is labeled “Islamophobia”.
We cheer for Iranian women breaking their chains…while we politely ask our own daughters and sisters to respect the very ideology that chained them.
This has nothing to do with tolerance. It is cultural suicide. It is betrayal of the very freedom those Iranian women fought - and died for.
If we continue down this path, in 50–70 years our children and grandchildren will not live in free, secular societies.
They will live under the slow but certain dominance of political Islam…because we lacked the courage to say no when it mattered.
The math is simple. The numbers are real. The trend is unmistakable.
We still have time. But not much.
Let us stand together and take back control where it belongs: with the people!❤️🔥🪽💃🦍✝️
🚨250K Trading Challenge Begins🚨. @JohnLoc18 gave me an idea.💡He’s turned $300 into over 200K trading only $SPY options since late last year. I’ve followed his trades, they are all legit. I’ve never attempted something like this in over 3 decades of trading but thought it would be fun! Can I turn $300 into 250K by July 4? 🇺🇸🎆
Yesterday I bought one $688 $SPY put contract for $316. I sold it at the open for $13.
$316 is now $1300. I’ll be sharing this challenge with entry & exits as I attempt to turn $300 to $250K by July 4, our nation’s 250th birthday! Follow along for the fun.☺️🎂🇺🇸
Nothing makes me feel better as a trader than to get DM’s saying how I helped the person improve their consistency. That’s what this platform should be for. But sadly, there’s many immature clowns on here who just take screenshots & ridicule others. These people are nothing but children parading as adults. They have zero credibility & no character. Their intellectual capability is limited to sharing a meme. Something a 10 yr old can do. As traders we should be helping each other win. Period. 💯
We’re out here fighting The House, Wall Street, and insider trading.
Not begging for your recycled bullshit “trading courses” or fake guru Discord fees.
Why sell hope when you could just helping people trading with you for free? Because scamming desperate retails are easier than actually trading.
You make fake profits or unprofitable, and fuck you to tell me doing things without charging people is stupid.
Here are some basic rules:
When insiders buy, you pay attention.
Stock gets below 200-week SMA, you avoid.
Ignore stocks making new lows when the market is making highs.
If it's down 50% in a bull market, there's a reason - and it's not "opportunity."
When a stock breaks down on earnings, don't try to catch it. Let it find a floor first.
Stock pumps 30% in a week with no news? That's not opportunity. That's someone's exit liquidity.
If you can't explain the thesis in two sentences, you don't have one - you have FOMO.
When a sector is rotating out, your favorite stock in that sector isn't special. It's coming down too.
Stocks that gap up and immediately fade? That's distribution disguised as strength.
If institutional ownership is dropping quarter after quarter, you shouldn't be adding.
Strong stocks pull back to support and bounce. Weak stocks break support and keep falling. Know the difference.
When something works, do more of it. When it doesn't, stop doing it. Sounds simple. Most can't do it.
🔖 Save this. You'll need it later.
