Put Call Sentiment
Average put call ratio at 0.782 which means options market sentiment registers bullish. Bullish options names include NVDA MSFT AMD and AMZN which means the listed flows align with a net positive options stance rather than defensive hedging.
SPY Max Pain Alignment
SPY max pain at 763.00 against price 765.23 which means price sits 2.23 above the strike. This 0.29 percent gap above max pain for the zero day expiry implies a gravitational pull toward 763.00 at settlement because open interest clusters create the highest pain point for the largest number of options holders.
| Metric | Value | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| SPY max pain | 763.00 | Price 2.23 above strike signals settlement magnet |
| Current price | 765.23 | Small premium to max pain limits upside extension odds |
Dark Pool Visibility
Dark pool top list empty which means no data available on that flow.
Positioning Scenarios
45 percent weight on SPY holding above 765.23 which means call heavy flows extend into expiry. 35 percent weight on price closing at or below 763.00 which means max pain convergence dominates settlement. 20 percent weight on a 1 percent move higher in NVDA which means the 44.19M call block accelerates broader options sentiment.
