SPY +0.21%, QQQ +0.81%, VXX -1.33%. ## Pushing Profits Game Plan Today's tape reads **Bullish**. SPY +0.21%, QQQ +0.81%, VXX -1.33% put today's tape in a bullish regime. **Bullish scenario.** SPY reclaims and holds above 761.40 (calls trigger) with QQQ following through 709.42. First objective 768.36 on SPY; lean into pullbacks that hold the trigger. **Bearish scenario.** SPY rejects 761.40 and loses 757.10 (puts trigger), QQQ confirming below 702.10. First objective 750.14 on SPY; rallies into the trigger are short setups. **Chop scenario.** SPY churns between 757.10 and 761.40 with VXX flat. Fade extremes, do not chase mid-range breaks, prioritize defined-risk premium selling. ## Liquidity Matrix Lesson of the Day ### Gamma flips magnify everything When SPY price crosses the gamma flip level (where total dealer gamma turns from positive to negative), volatility expands violently. Above the flip = market makers buy dips. Below the flip = they sell rallies. ```cta-card {"headline":"Trade today's setups with the community","body":"Join the Pushing Profits Discord for live signals around these tickers, or start the Liquidity Matrix membership to unlock the full toolkit.","discordUrl":"https://discord.gg/pushingprofits","pricingUrl":"/pricing"} ```
