Regarding 25 wide on SPX, $2.5k exposure, that spread width equates to only a 0.33% move in SPX. Same 25 spread width on SPY equates to a 3.3% move in SPY, so less likely to incur max loss than the SPX example.
SPY has literally acted like nothing is happening
imagine if SPY goes up +15% like Kospi
I feel like the big boys wanna double dip, and SPY has yet to roll over. So this makes sense to me.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake, skimming the info a bit fast & misread it. I feel ya on the 0DTE, I ran SPY & QQQ zeros all day today-even opening new positions at 30 mins before close…knowing the chances of losing it all were high, but shit it’s only money, I can always lose more tomorrow. But hell, everything hit today…my zeros, Ford puts started printing at open, IREN & AXTI calls just killed it- with some patience I even got some way way OTM Red Wire calls to payout just over 100%. But more than once I was down 67-98% only for it to turn green for me. If I was OP I would have been Red all day and left with 2 Nickles in my pocket.
Greedy American never learn. Calls on SPY
[$SPY](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/spy?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=SPY&utm_content=template_1785468304056_2pihq4) testing a level that has held before. How it behaves at resistance tells me more than any headline. Educational.
this past downturn on SPY we were less than 5% from all time highs and people were running for the hills
Plenty of people beat the benchmarks, the average person doesn't though. Saying no one beats SPY is silly.
okay SPY you can hold these overnight gains for tomorrow
Can’t use futures charts. For XSP/SPX. You can use SPY charts. Only issue with placing after hours or premarket is that the premiums are inflated. They will change once the market opens. SPX/XSP changes value too at market open. Even SPY can drop fast at market open just to bounce back 15-20 min later. So it’s just better to wait till then
SPY is starting to look overextended.
SPY $748-750+ at open, I will shoot ropes
I’m phuked .. bought 5 puts on SPY😂. But hey! I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket.
If SPY or QQQ went up 16% in a single day, I would jizz my pants.
go on tradingview, put the "triple bollinger bands" script on your SPY, dont short outside -3 or long outside +3. congrats ur already better at this than 95% of the ppl here.
Korea +15%. Could you imagine if SPY did that?
Even so it doesn’t matter WS is starting to look at all pic and shovel companies as a ticking time bomb as ai still hasn’t matured nearly enough to fatten their pockets more than it’s drained them. It why all semi companies are down SMH had dropped over 25% and fell below big MA against the SPY. The only reason this isn’t a bull trap is cause there’s no way you can call a \~5% recovery after a >50% drop a bull case confirmation. This isn’t a trap it’s the market pulling back to a huge demand zone that’s it. If it sandisk goes past 1600$ then there starts to be a bull case but you also have to see huge gamma to the upside in terms of options and volume
Is there a situation where SPY doesn't reach at least 750 tomorrow?
Everyone expected the end of the world again, so SPY did what it does best

IBIT looks promising? Lol just go all in on SPY, or even better, wait until every interesting Reddit is screeching about how the sky is falling and buy SPY.

SPY, ASTS, GLD; I am going to viciously blast my money into these
Imagine how frustrating this market must be for bears. It’s never low enough for them. And they are always too scared to buy anything. Despite everything going on in the world and SPY has refused to roll over.
It's illegal for SPY to have back to back red days
SPY is so flat… never seen it so disconnected from the Qs. Something is fishy 🐟
SPY bout to GAP down thanks koreans
I turned $50 into $1200 into $25. SPY can fuck off I hope it gets delisted and I quit forever. See you tomorrow.
can one person tell me why tf we are actually green right now. fundamentals literally mean nothing for SPY anymore
Damn, I got spooked b/c it looked like SPY was finally ready to roll over to 720 before the reversal… But I guess the reversal is here
AMZN pumped, AAPL dumped, so SPY flat?
We think SPY's got another +1.5% day tomorrow?
praying to wake up to sub 739 SPY . we can pump after that just give me this one lil win
SPY pinned to a korean meme index its over. hope u like staying awake till 4am watching them drill into the earth
Heard some Leo dude got liquidated. Bro just could have bought the SPY 0dtes and would've lost less

AAPL killed me today. Night salvage a bit if SPY and QQQ have another big day but I'm spent
What a day, my port I haven't touched in 2 years is beating SPY and the port I actively watch everyday is still down 8% YTD There's a lesson here, and it's to buy more calls and pre-revenue stocks
Who are those "we" you talk about? A few dozen couch traders here account to 0.000000000007% of the daily SPY volume 🙂↕️
SPY 600p 0dte is gonna print so hard
That’s honestly what I’m thinking! The 20 EMA looks like it WANTS to cross over the 50 EMA with its entirety lol. With Apple being such a big chunk of SPY and it tanking on its earning, I could easily see a dead cat bounce for sure!
>But the most recent couple of decades, I believe Voo has out performed. sure about that? https://contrarianoutlook.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/SPY-Midcap-Smallcap-20yr-Chart.png
This is one of those rare moments where market manipulation was the actual cause of the dip. Crazy. Now that Citadel purchased Situational’s portfolio for Pennie’s on the dollar, we’re seeing SPY 800 by EOY.
You know why funds underperform SPY? Because they're rule based. This means they HAVE to buy tops and sell bottoms. It's mechanical and rule-based. Retail has such a huge advantage in that regard. Keep your head high boys
Tim Apple ruined the SPY pump smh
Read thru 🙂 The ticker isn’t your constraint, the premium is. $300 means one contract, & one contract means one bad day can be your whole acct. That’s the actual problem to solve, not which symbol goes on the watchlist Cheap underlyings aren’t automatically better. A $2 contract on a slow name can still go to $0, & wide spreads on low volume tickers kill you on entry & exit before the trade even moves. Liquidity beats price almost all the time Longer dated beats 0DTE at this size. More time means the trade can be wrong for a day without ending you. 0DTE with $300 is a coin flip with a clock on it. It CAN work, 1DTE as well. But building a small acct is about protection SPY & QQQ are what everyone trades bcuz the spreads are tight & the fills are almost instant. At your size, longer dated SPY QQQ calls are mostly out of reach, & that’s fine Write down your entry, your target, & the price that proves you wrong before you click, every time. If you can do that 10 times in a row on $300, capital will actually matter l8r. If you can’t, more capital just makes the same mistake cost more…
its smart. put it in SPY and QQQ.
For the past week, SPY training up before closing and dumping in the dark of the night. 😔
AAPL erasing AMZN making SPY perfectly flat as it should be
Deepseek 3.0 and new tariffs tomorrow SPY 600 by noon tomorrow
Just got off the phone with the SPY ceo. He said his friends liquidated leopold and are gonna make the markets run now. Just a little multi billion dollar liquidated - had to make it dip to buy his shit at a massive discount. They need it to run to make bank now tho. So sers, only up!
Its a massive dump tomorrow. SPY to 725
JOHN/TIM APPLE just destroyed the Us Economy (SPY)
SPY gonna go to 755 before the market crash
I would absolutely hate to wake up to SPY 755 because then all the puts I bought would be liquidated!
Get naked at work and degen on company time $10k SPY PUTS ATM
alright, I am going to sell all my SPY the market is looking fucking stupid

It's not definitive but it's far more probable during this time. What you wanna do is have your sp500 (if u trade spy) and nasdaq 100 (if u trade qqq) heat map ready. Then compare QQQ or SPY versus each sector on the same map. For example, spy/qqq vs semi, vs memory, consumer, healthcare. If all their movements correlate with each other from 8-9:30, then it's extremely probable that the same movement will continue afterward. Some days you can tell if it's a dump or it's just a rotation. If it's a dump, it's all red like yesterday. if it's a rotation, red in some sectors, green in all others. You can verify this right now for all the previous days and see it for yourself.
I chatted with the SPY CEO. I bought half a million of it too 😄
# SPY still gotta dodge one more bullet, AAPL
SPY $748 puts , ASTS $71 puts, SOFI calls, T calls😆
My friend, I already shared it in the comments, I feel you. I bought some puts yesterday and was waiting for 2pm. Market didn't go down at 2 and I decided to sell my SPY puts with approx $50 profit and day nap around 3pm - minutes before market crashed When I woke up I realized I would earn a couple thousand bucks
End of day dump for SPY?
Don’t forget to buy your SPY puts😝
So Amazon gonna get sent to Jupiter and SPY opening above $748?
I made $13 on a SPY put just now. Get fucked idiot bulls lol
# Mango doesn’t reward swing traders in this market only boomers who hold SPY. You will be punished if you try to time the market LMAO 🤌
So the "critical level" of Strategic Petroleum Reserves is 300 million barrels, and [we are currently at 307 million barrels](https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=WCSSTUS1&f=W). Is that why SPY popped today? Is this super bullish? idk, I'm not an oil expert.
I cashed out, but how the hell does SPY dump so hard one day and pump so hard the next? How the fuck does one company’s earnings report erase all the market’s fear overnight and create a massive rally? All the concerns that drove prices down yesterday haven’t gone anywhere.
#SPY to $800 next week LMAO🤌
Hear me out WHY NOT SPY +3% ????
SPY going into absolute orbit
SPY pumping after I sold the call. classic
SPY CEO: 3:30pm EST, Dump it
I just pumped the market with SPY and QQQ 0dte call credit spreads .. I only have like 15.. but it surely pumped as soon as I bought them
#Today is a miracle day. Both SPY and MSFT is green which is a super rare event. LMAO🤌
QQQ still without a new intraday high and SPY is vertical.
Now all we need is the Donny tweet and Devil Apple to report a huge bear-busting ER SPY might open at 850
Think SPY should dump half of tech at this point. It's dragging too much ass. Just ask the Qs
Everybody on this thread is completely right. Most of my portfolio is in SPY. I read an interesting statistic that said most people who try to time the market lose money whilst doing so. Just put it in, trust me.
Had 1dte too, ended up biting the loss early to wait for a better position. I like that we’re at top of range of this 2-week down channel, but not super confident we’ll keep trending down. (SPY)
If you all manage to pump SPY to 750 by close I will release this Nic Cage movie I found laying around the Netflix offices.
# They really milked those SPX premiums, SPY created a new higher but SPX options still at even from an hour ago LMAO
735's filled, 3 pm approaching, perfect time to pull back before the big boys report earnings. SPY 740.63 is the level for it to reject or confirm another move higher
double down on SPY put lotto tickets?
Just buying whatever mag 7 is underperforming at the time and holding is the easiest way to outperform SPY. Literally too ez
SPY up half a percent since initial rally and QQQ down 0.1%. I hate these fucking bastards.
SPY is down 0.9% over the past month.
