We are now looking to “play the range” of S&P 500 Index (^SPX) 6,820 resistance and 6,600 support. We think a full vol premium contraction is unlikely this week, and negative gamma still dominates the SPX landscape, observes Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma.

Tickers: SPX
We pointed out on X recently that the “most viral blog post of all time” may have marked a major low in software stocks. We of course are not CMTs, but this area has proven to be support for the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) over the last year, too, observes Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma.

When it comes to put-buying, we see names “going convex.” To place this into context, the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) was recently 3% off of all-time highs, which were set just a few days ago. But suddenly, the world is a disaster and we see certain subsectors getting absolutely wrecked (software, crypto, etc.), observes Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma.

The chase is clearly back on, after vols have mildly reset. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) made new-all time highs Wednesday, as did the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH). That's not something that happens in the midst of a risk-off spasm. If the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) moves back below 6,890, we flip back to risk-off, writes Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma.
