☕ SPX Zero DTE Playbook — October 23, 2025

Yesterday’s Close: 6699.40
Max Pain: 6700
Primary Zone of Interest: 6650 – 6750

🧭 Market Map

  • Call clusters: 6700 → 6750
  • Put support zones: 6650 → 6625
  • OI & Volume Hot Zone: 6725 – 6750 (bulls’ battleground)

🎯 Bias Outlook

  • Spot is starting near 6705, right on top of the balance area.
  • If SPX can hold above 6700–6710, momentum buyers may press into the 6750 call wall and attempt a push toward 6765 / 6780.
  • A failure to hold 6700 invites profit-taking and potential drift to 6675 → 6650, where dealers are likely to defend for pinning near max pain.

🔻 Bear Path

  • Lose 6675 with energy and you open a slide to 6650 (put cluster support).
  • Below 6650 = momentum may accelerate as dealers unwind hedges into cash open.

🔼 Bull Path

  • Stay above 6700 = controlled grind higher into 6740 / 6750.
  • Any break and hold > 6755 could spark late-day covering into 6780 targets.

👵 Grandma’s Bias (Based on Data, Not Feelings)

“Above 6700 — bulls have momentum; below 6675 — expect gravity.”
She notes that today’s map favors a range-bound to slightly bullish bias as long as the floor at 6650 stays intact.
