SPY -0.03%, QQQ -0.05%, VXX -0.19%. ## Pushing Profits Game Plan Today's tape reads **Neutral**. SPY -0.03%, QQQ -0.05%, VXX -0.19% put today's tape in a neutral regime. **Bullish scenario.** SPY reclaims and holds above 767.15 (calls trigger) with QQQ following through 712.88. First objective 771.95 on SPY; lean into pullbacks that hold the trigger. **Bearish scenario.** SPY rejects 767.15 and loses 764.19 (puts trigger), QQQ confirming below 707.79. First objective 759.39 on SPY; rallies into the trigger are short setups. **Chop scenario.** SPY churns between 764.19 and 767.15 with VXX flat. Fade extremes, do not chase mid-range breaks, prioritize defined-risk premium selling. ## Liquidity Matrix Lesson of the Day ### Dealer gamma sets the day's volatility Check total SPY dealer gamma before the open. Positive = compressed, range-bound day (sell premium). Negative = explosive, trending day (buy premium, trade momentum). One metric, two completely different playbooks. ```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"} ```
