Date: Mon Oct 27 2025 | Focus: SPY / SPX 0-DTE Scalps | Bias: 🟢 Bullish (while above support zones)
1️⃣ Key Levels
| Instrument | Spot | Support Zone | Resistance Zone | Max Pain | Primary Target |
| SPY | 677.12 | 675 – 676 | 680 – 683 | 670 | 🎯 680 + |
| SPX | ≈ 6 771 | 6 750 – 6 760 | 6 800 – 6 830 | 6 715 | 🎯 6 800 + |
2️⃣ Opening Plan (9 : 30 – 10 : 00 ET)
Scenario A – Dip Holds Support
• Watch early flush into SPY 676 / SPX 6 750.
• If buyers defend → buy CALL or debit spread.
• Stop below 674 / 6 740.
• Target 680 → 682 / 6 800 → 6 820.
Scenario B – Immediate Break Above 680 / 6 800
• Join momentum with light size.
• Trail stop under 1-min low.
• Take profits 682 → 684 / 6 820 → 6 850.
Scenario C – Fail to Hold VWAP or Support
• Skip longs → quick PUT scalp toward 673 / 6 730.
• Stop above 677 / 6 760.
3️⃣ Pre-Bell Checklist
☑ Check /ES overnight range + VIX trend
☑ Mark prior-day high / low + VWAP
☑ Confirm opening volume bias (1-min bars)
☑ Load SPY & SPX 1-min and 5-min side-by-side
☑ Pre-set limit orders near SPX 6 750 Call and 6 830 Put
☑ Set daily profit target and max loss before 9 : 29
4️⃣ Mid-Session Plan (10 : 00 – 12 : 00 ET)
- Ride trend if SPY stays > VWAP & 676.
- Scale ½ at target to lock profits.
- Move stop to breakeven once +10 pts SPX / +0.40 SPY.
5️⃣ Afternoon Window (15 : 30 – 15 : 50 ET)
- Expect market to pin near 6 800 / 680.
- Fade over-extensions and close positions before EOD.
🧠 Why This Plan
Market makers are currently near the market. They sold more calls than puts, so to stay hedged they buy the underlying on pullbacks—creating a support net under price.
The heaviest open-interest zones sit near SPX 6 800 / SPY 680, which pull price like magnets into expiration.
As long as SPY holds ≈ 676 and SPX ≈ 6 750, market makers are likely to keep supporting the tape. Below those levels, their flows flip from buyers to sellers and volatility returns.
