📊 LEAPS Performance Tracking
🧠 Analyst Layer: Flow + Memory Signals
🔁 Dealer Delta Summary
Market makers have flipped from neutral to slightly long delta across SPY and QQQ following the NFP shock recovery.
→ This supports short-term drift higher, but conviction is light — price remains pinned to gamma anchors.
→ Expect supportive flows unless SPY breaks below $620 or VIX re-spikes above 21.
📊 Implied Volatility Rank (IVR) & Skew
📊 Volatility Context – August 4 Snapshot
→ Implied vol remains compressed post-NFP despite the initial spike
→ Risk hedging still elevated with puts trading rich vs calls
→ Opportunity for fade/fly structures — volatility premium is low for calls, high for downside hedges
🔁 Vanna/Charm Zone Sensitivity
SPY Vanna Analysis
QQQ Vanna Analysis
→ Dealers must buy into strength above these levels = potential squeeze scenario
→ Vanna positioning suggests accelerated moves once key thresholds are breached
🔮 Pattern-Match Memory Table
📊 Historical Pattern Match – Titan Memory
→ Current structure echoes these setups — compression → release pattern in motion
→ Historical precedent suggests 2-4 day recovery window with 2-3% upside potential
🧠 Aggregate Options Sentiment
Options Market Sentiment Overview
→ Bullish skew with P/C ratio below 1.0 indicating call preference
→ Dealer gamma slightly negative on SPX, positive on QQQ → drift potential
→ Institutions are cautiously rebuilding exposure; market remains in "recovery alignment mode"
🎯 Professional Analyst Synthesis
• Flow Regime: Dealer long delta + vanna magnets suggest upside bias with acceleration potential
• Volatility Edge: IV compression creates asymmetric opportunity for call structures
• Historical Context: Pattern matches indicate 2-4 day recovery window with 2-3% upside
• Risk Management: Monitor SPY $620 and VIX 21 as key invalidation levels
