1 · The one thing that matters today

SPY map 12:56 UTC · sweeps 13:06 UTC · pre-market

SPY (771.37) has the put side thinned out: the put wall is −$108M at 765, about a seventh of yesterday's −$794M, and every strike from 771 up through 785 is positive. 771 holds +$193M, 772 (the call wall) +$214M, 774 +$201M and 775 +$173M; 771–775 together sum +$875M and 776–785 add +$608M. The chain total is +$829M: +$1,336M above spot, −$508M below. Yesterday it was +$116M, with +$1,587M above and −$1,471M below. The feed still labels the regime negative, because spot is 2.62 under the 773.99 flip, which sits inside today's expected move.

The negative weight is spread thin, not stacked. 758–770 sums −$596M across 13 strikes, and the largest single strike is 765 at −$108M, half the 772 call wall. 760, 767 and 768 each hold about −$75M. Every strike from 764 to 770 is negative, and the only seam of any size is 770 (−$33M) against 771 (+$193M), 0.37 under spot. Max pain is 768, 3.37 below spot. Implied vol (ATM) is 22, up from 13 yesterday, and the expected move widened to ±0.8% (±$6.35, or 765.02–777.72), so the range reaches the 765 put wall at its floor and the 773.99 flip well inside it.

Tuesday closed within half a point of the wall again. SPY's implied prior close, backed out of the +0.23% change, is about 769.63, against yesterday's 770 call wall (+$440M). That is three sessions in a row: Friday's implied 759.97 against a 760 put wall, Monday's 765.46 against a 765 call wall, Tuesday's 769.63 against 770. Yesterday's 767 put wall (−$794M) holds −$75M on today's chain. This feed carries only the 0DTE chain (one expiry, 250 contracts), so open interest further out is not in these numbers.
