SPX Zero DTE Playbook – October 16, 2025

Previous Close: 6671.06
Spot Price: Pre-market hovering just under key resistance zones


🧠 Grandma’s Bias (Data > Drama)

Grandma’s not guessing — she’s following the data.
We’re opening right in the middle of a call-heavy zone, surrounded by open interest clusters on both sides. This is where chop and traps love to hide.


🎯 What The Data Shows

1. Key Call Zones (Ceiling Resistance)

  • 6700: Largest call cluster – ⚠️ heavy resistance
  • 6715: Second big call wall
  • Price above these = bulls must dominate with volume

2. Put Clusters (Support Zones)

  • 6650 & 6625: Areas where bears lose momentum
  • Below 6600: Opens door to acceleration lower

🧭 Today’s Plan: If SPX is… Do this:

ConditionActionNotes
Above 6700⚠️ Watch for rejectionHeavy call buildup – sellers may step in
Breaks & holds > 6715🎯 Bullish scalp zoneCan target 6740–6755 if volume confirms
Stuck between 6670–6700💤 Chop ZonePatience needed — fakeouts likely
Breaks below 6650🐻 Short the weakness6625 is first target. Below = slide risk
Flush to 6625 w/ bounce👵 Magnet support longOnly if support holds and reversal confirms

🧩 Bonus: Quick Read on the Street

  • Dealer Activity: Balanced but leaning negative under 6675
  • Delta Trend: Tilting negative — expect rallies to fade unless reclaimed fast
  • Volatility Setup: No major crush — price action will guide the lean
