Market overview, key $SPX level to watch and info this week, CTA position info, general trends market, economic calendar, and various other info.

A short thread 🧵

Please ❤️ and 🔄 if you like this education information.
$SPX: As mentioned many times in previous tweets, 3950 has been held as a support from gamma, vanna, & as well as being 200 SMA. It all adds up from TA & PA perspective.
🔑 level to watch: $VIX- >22, bearish. 22-21 is chop. <20.60 for squeeze to 4040/4080.
RES @ 4065.
#SPY:

This is gamma (GEX) total profile for the next 2 expirations- mark 🔑 levels.
How to read this: MOST $$$ at $400 spy. (C/P). This means most hedging by MM.

Surprise? No. Major psych level & major 🧲 months!

Predominately bearish 395-390.
Less hedging aka dealers involvement these strikes, can suppress volatility unless $VIX pushes >21.80. And >22.30- big extreme moves.

In neg gamma , which means larger intraday moves with elevated $VIX.
IV drops- vanna kicks in, 🧲 to $400 spy , $spx 4010~.
$QQQ:
The tech indicator. Has shown quite a retrace since it’s run(due to CTA also being -12% short in January to net Long). CTA also net short here we stay below Friday’s high levels.

Apollo algo @_d3f4ult giving sell signal on 1H. Still holding and 🔑 watch $292.50/293
$DXY: Dollar on a vengeance?

Remember: $DXY is opposite of stock market. $DXY bullish is BAD for high beta (TECH QQQ), emerging markets and general all markets.

$YEN been approaching highs USD/YEN.
$EURO near lows. $DXY can be bullish here.

Good keep your 👀 on $DXY daily
$TNX: 10Y rate. I mention this a LOT.
What’s it mean? Rates rates rates.
This follows 10Y bonds, bullish 10Y= bearish $TLT.
Higher rates= more pain stocks due tighter lending standards.



“Plan laid out in pinned tweet”. Playing out perfectly 🙏🧲👀
Market economic calendar for this week:

* FEW fed speakers- god bless us! Lol
* Major vital data Thursday pre market. Friday semi quiet

Light week ahead compared to pasts but still vital to watch.
Credit: @TSDR_Trading .

What is this chart?
*Stock “breadth” > or < 40 DAY MA.
Notice over extension jan 3 to feb 2?
MA catching up.
Stocks leveraging patterns.

$TSLA and $APPL still strong, but energy death, financials etc.

As stock consolidate, MA catch up. 🔑 pivot
Master of matrix . @AlessioUrban

Lot going on here but quick summary for new folks:

Short term bearish. Long term bullish.
$VIX increasing
DEX negative short term. MM influence
-GEX negative, hence more volatility

Great tool to watch and learn from.
Key is to always adapt and learn and never let bias get in your way.
Play both sides. Sit it out.
I’m a bear. I’m a bull.

Biggest thing I am: learning & adapting.

Special shout-out everyone who puts in work to grow and learn.

Fun stat: 90% traders do 0 Day options and <1 Week.. yet DONT understand basics of option?

🧵How to read each OPTION Greek.
Level up your EDU.
-How to see "options mis-priced" before PRICE moves?

Would you go play blackjack without knowing the rules?
Option basics:
-Changes in the price of the underlying.
-Time remaining until Expiration.
-Increase or decreases in implied volatility (IV).
-The premium of an option has two components:Intrinsic Value
Time (or Extrinsic) Value

Intrinsic value is only accumulated once price moves above the strike price of a call option or below the strike price of a put option.
Option pricing: The trifecta to start with is:
-Time
-Price
-Implied Volatility (not price or realized volatility)

Delta= Speed.
- price sensitivity of an option to changes in price is expressed by delta
- It is a %(MATH) that the option closes ITM
- Ranges from -1 to 1
- (-1)= ITM Put, (+1)= ITM Call

As time passes, Delta(chances) call going ITM decrease if Price remains constant OR goes opposite direction of option.
* Think of it like slowing down while driving a long trip
*Thus your delta goes towards 0 over time

🧵 How I mastered 90% win rate option trading.

DJ Khaled - They don’t want you to win.

Success is not given overnight , it is a mindset.

Basic overview, strategies & guidance , most common mistakes!

Education ⬇️
Gamma: (GEX) , which is a dollar-denominated measure of option market-makers' hedging obligations.

Things to remember/bookmark:

▪️High GEX env = lot of hedging needed = liquidity is added(+ GEX) or subtracted (- GEX)

▪️+ GEX = + gamma = Long calls go 1.0(delta) as they… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Delta: Measurement of change in option price as stock moves ⬆️ or ⬇️

▪️Between -1 and 1 for every option
▪️-1 to 0 for Puts
▪️0 to 1 for Calls
▪️More “in the money” the strike moves to option, more value it gains, closer it gets to -1 for Puts or +1 for Calls
▪️>90% options… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
