Readers,
We had a pretty impressive bullish CPI print that pushed us above some major key levels. In our most recent SPY trade plan we said we were watching to see if this was a double top at 444 or were we going to breakout above 445.
Look at the weekly volume profile, we are three trading sessions into this profile and it has a decent size range. The value area low is at 440.26, point of control is at 446.14, and value area high is at 447.48. Notice how we gapped above last weeks naked VAH and POC and these values are still naked? We also have an unfilled gap from 444.91 to 444.30. We are also trading above the market makers weekly expected move at 444.48. This 443.48-444.08 area will be very important if SPY wants to trade there again.
Here is a chart with the profile values.
Positive Gamma
431, 444, 447, 450, 452
Negative Vanna
431, 444, 451, 455
Key levels above - (previous close 446.02)
Key levels below - (previous close 446.02)
Happy Trading,
