⚔️ Morning War Room Briefing — June 10, 2025

The Battlefield Before CPI

We open Tuesday with S&P futures hovering just above 6000, markets pressing against resistance while gamma positioning firms up into tomorrow’s CPI print. With Asia mixed and Europe modestly red, the tone is one of tactical calm. But beneath the surface, flows are loud, and options traders are repositioning for movement.

“A reactive trader is already losing. The disciplined general positions before the charge.”

⸻

🎯 Strategic Landscape
• SPX Spot: 6005.88
• SPY Premarket: 600.50
• Futures drift: Modestly bullish (+0.14%)
• CPI release: Wednesday @ 8:30 AM ET
• Gamma Profile: Pinning at 6000 with growing call resistance at 6100
• Dark Pool & GEX: Showing tight coil under the surface—compression before expansion

📉 Bond Yields Lower – The 10Y yields are pulling back to 4.45%, giving tech room to breathe.
💥 USD Dropping – Supporting flows into equities, metals, and commodities.
🌍 Macro Front: China-U.S. trade talk headlines are chaotic but lean risk-on.

⚔️ Actionable Strategies by Symbol

⸻

🧠 $NVDA — The Titan Holds Ground
• Current: 142.62
• GEX: Builds from 140–145, defensive structure
• Strategy: Wait for CPI catalyst. Consider Jun 21 $145C on any pullback to 140.
• Add note: IV is compressed – great time to accumulate premium before volatility wakes up.

⸻

🧠 $SMH — Semiconductors Still Command the Field
• Current: 257.51
• GEX Setup: Strong put floor at 255, call wall at 265
• Strategy: Ride momentum. Jun 21 $260C work on dips.
• Risk Trigger: Close below 252 invalidates bullish flow.

⸻

🧠 $PLTR — Strategic AI Positioning
• Current: 131.94
• Momentum: Strong institutional buy zones from 125–130
• Strategy: Load Jun 21 $135C or Jul $140C on any weakness.

⸻

🧠 $TSLA — Breakout or Bull Trap?
• Current: 308.58 (+4.55%)
• Pre-Mkt: 315.84
• Key Level: 309 = 50 EMA (gap closed)
• Strategy: Jun 21 $310C or short-dated calls for momentum scalp

⸻

🛡️ $SPY — 6000 Fortress or Launchpad?
• Current: 599.68
• Gamma: Pinned at 600; resistance at 6100
• Strategy:
• Short-term: Sell premium via Jun 10 600C/603C call spreads
• Directional play: Jun 14 605C lotto if CPI lands soft
• Support: 597.80
• Trigger: Daily close above 600.94 = open door to 605–610 fast.

⸻

🛡️ $QQQ — Tech Strength Maintains Grip
• Current: 531.41
• Watch: 534 resistance / 527 support
• Strategy: Jun 14 or 21 $535C for continuation.
• Gamma flip happens above 534.

⸻

🛡️ $GLD / Gold — Re-arming Into CPI
• Current: 306.88
• Futures: 3354
• Narrative: Gold-dealing banks made $500M on tariff arbitrage. That flow’s not done.
• Strategy:
• Long gold via GLD Jul $310C
• Or futures spreads into CPI for breakout above $3400

⸻

💡 Key Tactical Notes
• GEX pinning → low movement today, but option flows suggest large positioning into CPI.
• TSLA and PLTR carry short-term leadership alpha.
• Gold remains a stealth rotation play into uncertainty.

⸻

🧠 The Strategic Edge

• The real battle is tomorrow — today is your chance to control the battlefield.
