$TSLA Volatility trigger at $390. If held below, may see additional drawdown into the close.

TPO POC $389.14 with a larger order sitting right under. Bigger support area.

CVD now starting to head into negative territory.

On watch for market acceptance to lower lows.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$SPY and $QQQ set up for bearish reversals. May get one more spike in both before selling off.

Or, we see a straight sell off at the open.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

Anticipating gap ups in both $QQQ and $SPY heading into the overnight and premarket sessions.

CVD on both turned positive on the daily with strong CVD in the after hours as well.

$QQQ acceptance above $723.30 and $725 could lead to a move toward $732.

$SPY acceptance above $751.70 could lead to a move toward $755.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$QQQ & $SPY continue to see positive CVD on the day, meaning buyers are present on any dips.

However, CVD has decreased since this morning and that's a sign of buyers becoming exhausted.

If CVD flips toward the second half of the trading day, we could see a larger unwinding to the downside. If not, the upside continues but very choppy.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

Currently, there isn't any indication that buyers are aggressive to the upside.

$SPY a loss of $749.49 and more importantly $748.85 could see the PML tested from this morning.

$QQQ is a lot weaker. A loss of PMH $722.35 could see a move down to test the PML from this morning.

A loss of PML's from both would see sellers once again regain control to sweep lower lows.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

There are signals that both $QQQ and $SPY are starting to unwind due to overextension.

Momentum is waining but buyers continue to be active.

This can produce a spike followed by an immediate unwinding and downward pressure.

Clear sign would be a decrease in CVD

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$NVDA dark pool cluster in the $194-195 range. Institutional positioning here is clear.

Acceptance above $195.60 would likely open a move to $200-208 range initially.

DEX at $200.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

Both $SPY and $QQQ are looking healthier with CVD now positive.

$SPY acceptance above $740 looks likely to trigger a move higher.

$QQQ acceptance above $716.80 looks likely to trigger a move higher.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

Negative Cumulative Delta Volume across the majority of the market has diminished considerably the last few sessions.

This doesn't mean prices cannot go lower, but it does suggest that sellers are becoming exhausted.

With that, we may see a relief rally starting next week into the July 4th weekend.

$SPY above $733 and $QQQ above 714 would be a clear signal of this. A gap above these levels on Monday may trigger that breakout rally.

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

Important distinction developing in both $SPY and $QQQ :

Price has moved higher,
but participation quality is not fully confirming continuation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$SPY

SPY has rallied while:
• Cumulative Delta remains negative
• multiple bearish divergences continue developing

That is not ideal for trend continuation.

Current conditions suggest:
buyers are pushing price higher,
but participation underneath the move remains questionable.

If buyers do NOT become more aggressive,
price becomes increasingly vulnerable to:

• failed continuation attempts
• sharp reversals
• downside rotational pressure

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$QQQ
QQQ has actually shown healthier CVD throughout today's session.
However:

despite stronger participation,
price has still been unable to break and hold above yesterday's high near:
710.

That is an important warning sign.

Higher CVD with limited price progress often suggests:

• overhead supply remains active
• sellers are still absorbing demand
• continuation momentum is not yet fully confirmed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most important takeaway:

Neither index is currently showing the type of participation profile typically associated with clean trend continuation.

For buyers to maintain control, the market needs:

• stronger upside aggression
• improving participation
• continued CVD expansion
• successful acceptance above resistance

Without that:

both SPY and QQQ remain vulnerable to quick reversals despite today's recovery attempts.

Data → Signal → Edge

#SPY #QQQ #OrderFlow

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

@alphaticaio Although this may possible, most data points to selling pressure.

CVD was very weak and has turned negative.

Dealer positioning throughout the morning has been increasing at $729 while GEX remains negative as well.

$729 may be the target for now

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$NVDA is currently trading beneath the session Market Profile POC while Cumulative Volume Delta begins shifting negative intraday.

That matters because:
sellers are attempting to regain short-term control beneath value.

If downside pressure continues expanding,
price could rotate toward the lower boundary of the current profile near:
203.50.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bearish Structure
Key breakdown levels:
205.30 → 205 → 203.50

These zones remain extremely important due to:
• dealer positioning
• market profile structure
• downside liquidity concentration

If those levels fail,
downside pressure could accelerate quickly toward:
200,
which currently remains the largest DEX positioning zone.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bullish Structure

Key reclaim levels:
206.15 → 206.74 → 207.54

For bullish continuation to stabilize,
buyers will need:
• rising CVD
• aggressive participation
• stronger upside responsiveness

Without improving participation,
upside attempts remain vulnerable to:
rejection and rotational selling beneath resistance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most important dealer positioning observation:
200 remains the dominant structural positioning zone.

However:
195 positioning has continued increasing.
That matters significantly because:
if buyers fail to defend current support,
dealer positioning structure suggests downside acceleration risk increases materially beneath 200.

Current conditions increasingly favor:
rotational instability and reactive positioning behavior until buyers regain acceptance above value.

Data → Signal → Edge

#NVDA #MarketProfile #OrderFlow

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$QQQ is currently trading near the upper boundary of its intraday profile.

Although session volume has increased at these levels,
the market profile itself has NOT yet confirmed higher prices as accepted value.

That distinction matters significantly.

Current conditions still resemble:
price extension above value,
NOT stable higher-price acceptance.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If reversion occurs,
the downside move could become aggressive quickly,
especially as Cumulative Volume Delta has remained relatively weak throughout the session.
Without strong buyer participation,
higher prices remain vulnerable to:
• rejection
• rotational unwinds
• value reversion back toward the POC

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Bearish Structure

Breakdowns below:
709 → 707 → 704
materially increase probability of:
rotation back into value,
with the primary POC target sitting near:
700.

That would likely signal:
• failed upper distribution acceptance
• weakening buyer participation
• increasing downside rotational pressure
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bullish Structure

Breakouts above:
711 → 713
can strengthen upside momentum materially.

However:
continuation will REQUIRE:
• aggressive buyer participation
• rising CVD
• stronger momentum confirmation

Without improving participation,
upside moves remain vulnerable to:
being sold into near resistance.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most important distinction:

downside risk remains elevated at current levels because:
the QQQ profile has NOT yet fully accepted higher prices as value.

Current conditions still favor:
reactive rotational behavior until participation confirms otherwise.

Data → Signal → Edge
#QQQ #MarketProfile #OrderFlow

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$NVDA currently remains trapped in rotational intraday chop inside market value.

Important distinction:

structure still leans slightly bullish,
BUT:
momentum participation continues slowing beneath the surface.
However:
sellers have NOT yet become aggressive enough to regain full control.
That matters because:
without expanding downside aggression,
buyers continue stabilizing price above key dealer support.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bullish Structure

Major reclaim level:
210
Acceptance above 210 would materially improve:
• momentum continuation
• participation quality
• upside responsiveness
Most important trigger:
212.50.

That level is a major dealer positioning zone.

If buyers achieve:
sustained acceptance above 212.50
WITH aggressive participation,

then squeeze probability increases materially toward:
215 → 218.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Bearish Structure

Major breakdown level:
207.50.

That remains the key dealer support pivot.

Loss of 207.50 would likely trigger:
• expanding downside pressure
• momentum deterioration
• increased dealer instability

Breakdown trigger:
205.

If 205 fails,
NVDA likely accelerates quickly toward:
200 support.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most important distinction:

buyers remain in control while price holds above:
207.50.

Below that level:
downside pressure likely expands very quickly due to the dealer positioning structure underneath price.

Current environment still favors:
rotational balancing until a major positioning zone breaks.

Data → Signal → Edge

#NVDA #OrderFlow #MarketStructure

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

As Cumulative Volume Delta continues improving in both $SPY and $QQQ , current conditions increasingly point toward:

seller exhaustion rather than aggressive downside continuation.

Important distinction:

improving CVD does NOT automatically confirm bullish reversal.

However:

if sellers fail to regain initiative control,
both indexes may begin mean-reverting back toward higher value areas.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Potential mean reversion zones:
$QQQ:
730 → 735 value region

$SPY:
751 → 755 value region

These areas represent:

• prior acceptance
• higher participation zones
• key rotational targets if buyers continue stabilizing the tape

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Key reclaim levels remain critical:

$QQQ
• 726.52
• 730
$SPY
• 750
• 751.93

If aggressive buyers re-enter the market
AND those levels achieve sustained acceptance,
then bullish momentum can begin rebuilding into the close.

That would likely increase probability of:

• upside continuation
• dealer stabilization
• stronger directional movement higher
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most important distinction:

current conditions increasingly resemble:
seller exhaustion and stabilization,

NOT:
confirmed bullish expansion.

Participation still needs to materially improve for momentum continuation to sustain.

Data → Signal → Edge

#SPY #QQQ #OrderFlow

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

There are still signs of underlying weakness beneath the surface of the market.

However:
sellers have NOT yet become aggressive enough to fully regain control.

That distinction matters.

Without sustained seller aggression,
buyers have continued drifting price higher through stabilization and responsive participation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$SPY

As long as SPY remains above:
757,

buyers retain short-term control and continuation drift higher remains favored.

However:

loss of 757
and sustained acceptance below that zone

would likely allow sellers to become materially more aggressive,
increasing probability of:
• downside expansion
• retest of session lows
• possible short-term trend deterioration

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$QQQ

As long as QQQ remains above:
742,

buyers retain near-term control and momentum continuation higher remains active.

However:

any breakdown and acceptance below 742
would likely trigger:
• expanding seller participation
• renewed downside pressure
• deterioration in momentum structure

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most important observation:

upside momentum has clearly slowed.

However:
without active seller participation and aggression,
buyers continue maintaining:
• slow upside drift
• stabilization behavior
• controlled continuation conditions

Current environment still favors:
reactive balancing and gradual drift,
NOT aggressive directional expansion.

Data → Signal → Edge

#SPY #QQQ #OrderFlow

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$SPY has improved materially since the morning lows despite broader Net Flow still remaining bearish overall.

Important distinction:

buyers have become significantly more aggressive intraday and are now attempting to reclaim higher distribution and close the opening gap.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The key battlefield now becomes:
757.50 → 758.

Sellers continue defending this zone aggressively because it remains the primary reclaim level needed for bullish momentum continuation.

If buyers achieve:
sustained acceptance above 758
WITH continued participation expansion,

then upside continuation probability increases materially toward:
760 → 762 initially.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Current support now sits around:
756 → 756.50.

As long as SPY remains above that region:
• buyers retain improving short-term control
• stabilization conditions remain constructive
• gap-close probability stays elevated

However:

if price loses:
756 → 756.50,

then sellers will likely attempt:
a retest of the session lows as downside rotational pressure re-expands.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most important distinction:

this currently resembles:
improving stabilization and reclaim behavior,

NOT yet:
fully confirmed bullish expansion.

Participation still matters here.

Data → Signal → Edge

#SPY #OrderFlow #MarketStructure

[x3sigma @thex3sigma]

$NVDA sellers continue defending the 220 → 222 zone aggressively this morning.

Important distinction:

buyers are still attempting continuation,
BUT:
initiative participation continues stalling directly beneath overhead supply.

That matters because:
220 → 222 is now functioning as:
• resistance
• positioning pressure
• momentum transition territory

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Overall Net Flow has improved materially intraday,
which continues favoring:
buying pressure and stabilization beneath resistance.

However:
buyers still need:
• sustained acceptance above 222
• stronger participation expansion
• continued call responsiveness

to materially increase breakout probability toward:
225 → 230.

Without acceptance:
current conditions still favor:
• failed breakout attempts
• rotational compression
• responsive selling beneath resistance

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If buyers cannot force acceptance through:
220 → 222,

then sellers will likely attempt:
renewed downside pressure targeting:
217.52 support.

That level now becomes the key downside stabilization pivot.

Data → Signal → Edge
