Futures are down sharply this morning, having started to sell after the cash close and are now around 3135. Our key levels did not shift as much as I expected with ZeroGamma around 3085 little change in the SG Index. Notional gamma levels did reduce but mainly due to the shift in underlying price (as opposed to call/put position changes). The thing that stands out most about yesterdays options volume was ~110k trading at 3200 (60k calls, 50k puts) which appeared to add to the gamma at that strike. While I think we had some signs of topping, our current SPX data doesn’t yet appear to align with a larger expansion of volatility. On the equity front we saw more calls added than puts, and (based on closing prices) the gamma data suggests there was more net bullish activity. So, from our seat the selling doesn’t seem ready to accelerate. Obviously we’ll be watching both VIX and NQ for confirmation as to todays direction. We see 3130 showing as a key Combo level, with 3100 support. Under 3100 would suggest a much larger breakdown of markets. Overhead 3150 is first resistance with 3175-3180 a larger target area. |
Market Outlook: |
3100 support and 3200 resistance now for June OPEX. Below 3100 there is size at 3000. |
