“That floor is eroding.” 📉 Tech dropped 6%, rallied hard, and now Brent Kochuba of @spotgamma sees the wobble getting worse. He compares it to a tire shaking faster before it comes off. Meta’s slide and rising volatility make this bounce feel a lot less safe.

The rotation trade is still on, with healthcare, homes, retail, fins moving higher as $QQQ sucks wind. With $QQQ -2% (or more) and $RSP >=0%

If you remove 0DTE, SPX GEX is negative, and increasingly negative down into 7,400. What tends to happen is the 0DTE offers supply some positive gamma support intraday, usually around 10AM. If vol really increases, that 0DTE flow seems to subside.

$SPCX covered calls sold into earnings should be a nice winner as continue to collect premiums on both sides of the stock while holding long term from sub 120 still. Lots of positive gamma between 155-167 roughly should be tough to get thru this week
