SPX closed at 7,818.93 (+0.58%), well above EQ at 7,644.98 and the 7,581.50–7,638.17 cluster, and now sits inside the demand zone (7,782.19–7,816.70) with the annual high at 7,844.52 just overhead. The 1-day engine leans up but barely (+0.01%, confidence 55/100); the 1-week leans up +0.88% at 48/100. Dealer gamma is positive, so expect dampened moves and pinning, and RSI near 73 argues against chasing.
— Entry: short on a daily close below 7,816.70.
— Invalidation: a daily close back above 7,844.52.
— Targets: 7,800, then 7,782.19, then 7,750. Below 7,782.19 the derived 7,738.53 comes into play only on a confirmed break.
— Risk is roughly 28 points to the stop against 34 to 7,782.19 and 67 to 7,750; take partial at 7,782.19.
— Entry: long on a daily close above 7,844.52 (the annual high), or a hold of 7,816.70 with a push into it.
— Invalidation: a daily close back below 7,816.70.
— Targets: 7,900, then 7,950. The derived 7,922.97 activates only on a confirmed break of 7,844.52; 7,850 is too close to count as a target.
— Positive gamma and a stretched RSI mean fills may be slow; size to the 69.58 ATR.
The read flips bearish on a daily close below 7,816.70 and gets confirmed under 7,782.19. It turns decisively bullish only on a daily close above 7,844.52. Inside that 28-point band, expect rotation and pinning rather than trend.
