So this is happening
@gammastrike.bsky.social here's a question for the next VolStars: On the SPX monthly options chain going back several months there's been a bump in GM consistently (see arrows on image). Where's the bump for January OPEX (see circle)? What does this mean for the index going forward?

Jan LEAP OPEX Day and doing @gammastrike.bsky.social things
It looks like SPX will open above 6950, but it's tight. There's more than a decent amount of LEAP contracts expiring that are at 6950

This was a fun @gammastrike.bsky.social informed trade from today:
- Charm was very negative most of the day. I had a feeling toward the EOD charm would push down on spot past 6950 on SPX, and that a test of GN & the lower IM was possible.
- IF those lower levels were tested SPX was likely to bounce

So a little pre-market @gammastrike.bsky.social stuffs
- Since the morning OI update the SPXW 1 day implied move has shrunk
- SPX spot is about 6930 down from 6966 close Friday, mostly due to the news over the weekend
- GN has moved up to 6926

What’s your flip point in driving vs flying? Mine is about 3.5 hours. Portland to Seattle is right on the cusp. Any longer and I’m flying.

@wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov The integrity of the BLS data is now beyond suspect at best. The risks posed to the United States if banks and foreign investors loose faith in the US government cannot be overstated.

With Trump's proposed dividend bans, stock buyback freezes, and $5M executive salary caps defense contractors are essentially being told their profits must be reinvested. This may force more liquid capital into cybersecurity because firms can no longer "off-ramp" that cash to shareholders.

A little @gammastrike.bsky.social premarket goodness
- resistive gamma to the upside. Watch 6960 and 6985 in particular
- GN is essentially at 6900 and within reach if data or a geopolitical catalyst sparks selling

Let's follow up on SPX, it opened up right around 6900, bounced up above the lower IM and rejected off 6920
- 6920 level is resistive (red)
- 6900 level is contested, but mostly supportive (green)
- 6880 is supportive and GN (blue)

A little morning pre-market what's up with @gammastrike.bsky.social
- Resistive gamma up at the 6950 level
- ES is down .43% so far, well beyond the lower IM. Could be bouncy, but I hope no one sold ICs
- Delta to the downside is pretty flat
- 6900 should be supportive at least initially

A little post-xmax @gammastrike.bsky.social fun. Why not. there's nothing better to do because today looks boring af. GM is just above the upper IM. 6950 should be resistive. ES is relatively flat, so SPX should open around VN. Above VN trends persist.

Did some @gammastrike.bsky.social things today.
- Red: Entered into 6770/6760 bull put spreads for 4.00. GEX + Monthly GN + lower 1 day IM meant this was a good spot to enter long
- Blue: call premium started diving after the rejection from the flips. I tightened my stops and ended up make over 50%.

So this happened:
Doing some @gammastrike.bsky.social stuff. Tons of what I assume are sold puts to the downside of 6900 at open. I wasn't paying attention to live data on the 6900 test. However I did see put premium was greater than call premium and IV was skewed to the downside.

New day, new opportunities
Right out of the gate put premium was elevated above call premium (red box). There was also initial decent resistance at 6870 (red arrow), while IV was skewed to the downside (yellow arrow).
