Equity futures are pointing to a gap-up open across the board, with SPY set to open roughly +0.61% above Friday's close at 766.34 — already sitting above its own 762 call wall before the bell rings. The Trump-Xi summit headlines are driving broad risk-on sentiment, breadth is historically lopsided (NYSE A/D 40:7, TRIN 0.10), and SPY's 0DTE volume is running at 72% of total flow, which means today's options positioning will dominate intraday behavior.
The catch: GEX structure is complicated. SPY's net GEX is negative at -$10.22B, meaning dealers are short gamma and price moves can be amplified in either direction — not dampened. SPX, by contrast, carries a massive +$321B net GEX with call wall at 7625 and put wall at 7620, both already below the current pre-market equivalent price. The gap into a negative-gamma SPY regime with 0DTE expiry active is the key tension this morning.
GEX walls are price levels where dealers hedge aggressively. Price tends to gravitate toward Max Pain and stall near walls.
