1 · The one thing that matters today

SPY map 12:11 UTC · sweeps 12:55 UTC · pre-market

SPY (769.47) is trading under its put wall: 770 holds −$302M, 0.53 above spot, the biggest strike on the board and 1.6 times the 775 call wall. The negative weight is stacked right at spot: 767 −$168M, 769 −$156M, 768 −$86M and 770 sum to −$712M, and every strike from 756 through 771 is negative (−$1,343M together). The first positive strike is 772 (+$39M), 2.53 over spot, with 771 (−$43M) in between. 772–776 sums +$557M, led by the 775 call wall (+$187M) and 774 (+$152M). The chain total is −$615M: +$474M above spot, −$1,089M below. Yesterday it was +$829M, with +$1,336M above and −$508M below. The feed returns no zero-gamma flip.

Yesterday's map did not carry over. 771 (+$193M yesterday) is −$43M today, and the 772 call wall (+$214M) is +$39M. Yesterday's 765 put wall (−$108M) holds −$147M, now the fourth-largest negative strike, and the new wall at 770 is twice that. Max pain is 770, on the put wall. Implied vol (ATM) is 19, down from 22, and the expected move is ±0.7% (±$5.46, or 764.01–774.93), so the 775 call wall sits 0.07 beyond the top of the range and the whole 772–774 stretch is inside it.

Wednesday closed on the wall for a fourth straight session. SPY's implied prior close, backed out of the −0.37% change, is about 772.33, against yesterday's 772 call wall. The earlier three: Friday's 759.97 against a 760 put wall, Monday's 765.46 against 765, Tuesday's 769.63 against 770. The open is 2.86 below that close. This feed carries only the 0DTE chain (one expiry, 246 contracts), so open interest further out is not in these numbers.
