📍 Friday’s Close: 6664
🎯 Today’s Key Focus: Whether SPX can reclaim 6675 or slip back toward 6625


🧠 Grandma’s Bias (Based on Data, Not Emotions)

“Grandma doesn’t chase. She watches where the market must react.” Wait for Price Action

  • The data shows a fight between 6600 (support) and 6700 (resistance).
  • Price closed right in the middle — 6664, which is a magnet zone where both call and put traders are active.
  • Until the market escapes this tug-of-war, expect a lot of fake moves early in the session.

🧲 Key Levels to Watch

Zone TypeLevelWhat It Means
🟢 Support6600Strong put buildup. Buyers often defend this level.
🟠 Magnet Zone6650–6675Heavy OI cluster — expect chop & fake breakouts here.
🔴 Resistance6700Top call wall. Big sellers likely to defend.
⚠️ Pressure Zone6500If 6600 fails, watch for acceleration into this level.

📊 Open Interest & Volume Behavior

  • 6600 → High put OI and large volume = strong base support.
  • 6650–6675 → Mixed call/put positioning = battle zone / chop risk.
  • 6700 → High call OI = resistance and possible fade zone.
  • 6625 → If broken early, watch for acceleration lower into 6600.

🎯 Grandma’s Trading Scenarios

🟢 Scenario 1: Hold Above 6670 → Push Toward 6700

  • Bias: Short-covering possible if early buyers defend 6670.
  • Target: 6695 → 6700 → 6715.
  • Risk: Expect rejection near 6700 unless large volume confirms breakout.

🔻 Scenario 2: Lose 6625 → Retest 6600

  • Bias: Bearish continuation if sellers hold below 6625.
  • Target: 6610 → 6600 → 6575.
  • Risk: Buyers may try a bounce at 6600 (watch for fake reversal).

⚖️ Scenario 3: Range-Bound Session (Most Likely Early On)

  • If price stalls between 6650–6675, expect ping-pong action.
  • Market makers will likely pin SPX close to 6660–6670 into mid-session.

🧭 Grandma’s Bias Summary

IF price holds 6670 → upside toward 6700.

IF price breaks below 6625 → look for test of 6600.

6650–6675 = chop zone → best avoided until breakout confirmed.
