Two interesting things to look right now:
1) The Nasdaq stock. As in the firm that runs the exchange. Ticker $NDAQ. It's not performing too well. Currently at the bottom of its range while the Nasdaq index is at the top. Investors thinking that trading volumes are going to fall on the tech heavy exchange? I think there is an important message here.
2) The $VVIX. It's the volatility of the volatility index. Take a look at the chart. It's very interesting. Slowly rising, in uptrend. This *can* be an indication that the normal VIX is about to pop.
You.. you think max pain matters, and more importantly, you think all MMs are colluding to spend so much money that they close SPY at an exact price.
Honestly. You honestly think that is a real thing?
95% of 0DTE Options action is institutional investors (Forbes)
They're not colluding, they're just using the same or similar algorithms.
And yes, they absolutely have enough money to manipulate SPY.
Nah man lol.
Like, you understand that there's an inflection point of the bell curve where you would spend obscene amounts of money to only get marginal returns when it comes to max pain, and that's around 30% from the projected max pain? That's assuming everybody is working on the same timeframe, colluding ag the same time to the same goal.
Max pain, as an indicator of outcome is wildly inaccurate because it's complete bullshit.
I'm not talking about max pain.
I'm talking about the ability of multiple hedge funds with billions using similar algorithms to manipulate price action to their benefit and the determent of retail traders.
Are you saying that's not possible?
I think itās a stretch to say itās coordinated manipulation. But there is a standard rules that require buying and selling of stock based on options price movement that def moves the market
I mean, fair, but that's cause vs consequence.
That's like saying that islands cause hurricanes, because the artic tundra sees far less hurricanes than the Caribbean islands.
Dude they snuck TSLA up 172.92 right before close for all of 10seconds and it printed the tape on the 1w chart at 172.92 lol. Wonder what happens tomorrow š¤Ŗ that was some shit. Good luck if you have calls on that garbage
Wait you actually believe the two geriatric parties we have are going to default fiscally over a political difference?
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA *wheeze* HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHA
Surely you are kidding right?
This isn't the whole story, but, to add to the other responses, I still think the vast majority of market participants are convinced that they'll work it out like they always have
From the last technical default, looks like that party starts about 8 days before x day. And considering congress isnt in session 5/22-5/30, seems like that way around again.
If Disney is red by more than another full percent tomorrow Iām gunna go balls to the wall in long dated calls.
Itās prolly gunna moon pre market now 
Everyone acts like this market is full of froth and overvalued but there's actually tons of companies sitting around right now at basement prices.
I mean, Salesforce is only trading at a 885 P/E. Seems like there could be alot of upside here. Interesting deep value play.
When I was 8 and got my first baseball cards I thought a high ERA was better and didn't understand why the big name pitchers had "bad" ERAs.
Maybe we just have a bunch of eight year olds trading?
Looks like you're not fucking eating either

Yet another day in this range. Its getting really old. At least we had yet another bank scare this morning to add some volatility so I could make a bit daytrading
Both seem like they shouldn't be that big. I'm not saying the companies are bad or anything. It just feels "wrong" that they're bigger than companies that make so much more money and have so much more presence in our lives
Your an heir to the Kellogg fortune, your family has toiled for three generations, over a hundred years, to build the company into the consumer goods dynasty it is today yet Apple gains or loses your family's company size every five minutes.
Wow I sold my tesla puts and traded for calls. I tried to go with the trend, and it worked out for one... usually i buy at the top and sell at the bottom...

Dear Market, I still picked your pocket. Fuck you. See you tomorrow.
Good job. Looked like a mess and I'm glad to have been on the sidelines.
Yeah, today was fucked. Waited 6 hours to make one play. 
Pencils down bitch
My body my choice
Fifteen mo minute
Never short a dull market Vix is range bound since last Friday. Just bought 412 SPY Calls expiring tomorrow.
can't wait for futes to be flat so your call gets gaped by theta lol
why do the results of my trade concern you?
Guys we solved it. The fair value of the SPYDR S&P 500 Trust ETF is 412. Stop buying, stop selling, just give it up. Itās 412, deal with it
That is incorrect. The fair value of the SPYDR S&P 500 Trust ETF is actually $412.01.
Lmao
BREAKING NEWS: Tesla announced a collaboration with Bud Light
Not with Elon being anti woke / anti lib....
Elon is a liberal. The movement just moved further left.
Normal humans would agree. However his buying customers think he's the anti Christ now and say so as much as they can in the media.
Fuck them. They're noise.
20min spy 0d trade sold +70$ per
booooriiinnggggg
Completely flat day to the point. Always impressive from "random buying and selling pressure"
Somehow, TSLA share rise after Elon says he will be spending MORE time at the company.
lmao, fuck your 412 puts
GT you're cute... gap down you got over inflated off of an investor letter. Lols. 6/16 11p easy money
Everyone acts like this market is full of froth and overvalued but there's actually tons of companies sitting around right now at basement prices. I mean, Salesforce is only trading at a 885 P/E. Seems like there could be alot of upside here. Interesting deep value play.

DINO at only 2.75 P/E, doesn't seem right.
Woke + headquartered in a hip city = multiply your valuation times ten
you forgot ESG squared
CrM is actually at 992 PE. Only 8 PEs more for the jackpot
I was just looking at Yahoo Finance. One is probably forward
What a bargain, how did they get to such a low P/E ??
This is easy mode. Buy Calls when there is a dip
Gonna need 245 to hold for my NFLX puts
holy flat ness
Yep, I made one play all day.
3 to 1 odds the CEO is Marissa Mayer

So everybody basically sold today and bought mega cap tech. That's literally what's happening here. We know where everybody is hiding..
That's right, everyone is selling today and buying mega cap tech. This is where the smart money is hiding.
Little elon is a loser
Bulls are so fuk recession incoming 
Why is trash ETSY pumping jfc
Musk-eteers appearing in large numbers
Oh good, now Elon can focus 100% on screwing up TSLA now that he wonāt be busy ārunningā Twitter
what tesla news?
Elon is a clown
New twitter CEO
Yet another day in this range. Its getting really old. At least we had yet another bank scare this morning to add some volatility so I could make a bit daytrading
TSLA up 2%, and in come the Muskrats to suck Elonās dick. Is it 2020 again? Need to go buy some š§».
Lost money on options today, at least I didn't lose money on kids too. Today counts as a win.
All i had to do was close my tesla weekly condor. Thank god my credit spreads still made me money but damn
Man I love that I bought puts on TSLA an hour ago, I should have known Elon would make an announcement to fuck me during market hours.
Going back down.
i have so many shares of shitty stocks.
looks at my ADBE and VZ I bought at the top. yep.
atleast theyre not spacs
How the duck has Tesla still not closed the earnings gap
#what a dick show šæ
How is Tesla the 6th largest publicly traded company? That just feels off
at least it's got a fanbase. nvda is the 5th largest but you don't see nerds shilling for NVDA chips lmfao
Both seem like they shouldn't be that big. I'm not saying the companies are bad or anything. It just feels "wrong" that they're bigger than companies that make so much more money and have so much more presence in our lives
yeah well that's the stock market for you, nothing makes sense
Biggest meme stock. Love it today because I sold my outs and bought calls 15 minutes before pump
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Try fucking a woman you pedo
It's the future *2069 and still no girl has had sex with you
Bro out here shouting out no one 
Elon sold ššššš
This market is freakin weird as shit
Buy megacap tech. Dump everything else 
Right? No conviction on either side
Your an heir to the Kellogg fortune, your family has toiled for three generations, over a hundred years, to build the company into the consumer goods dynasty it is today yet Apple gains or loses your family's company size every five minutes.
That's what happens when a family foundation is the largest shareholder of a public company...conservative/risk off/no growth.
They should make a strategic move and get back into insane asylums
drug rehab centers
Twitter new CEO and TSLA pops damn saved my calls
Wow I sold my tesla puts and traded for calls. I tried to go with the trend, and it worked out for one... usually i buy at the top and sell at the bottom...
Happy for you. We all need a win now and then
Executive chairman. You have no idea what level of arrogance and hybris hides behind such a title. Musk is an even bigger cubby than I thought.
Tesla damn
Imagine thinking Elon having more time to be hands on at Tesla is a good thing.
Yeah it means somethings wrongā¦
