$SPY daily consolidation: accumulation or distribution zone?Another thing I am noticing from the current price action is that $SPY market is setting up for a big move. Whenever we get into these consolidation clusters(which could be an accumulation or distribution zone) a big move follows.
Price has been holding the 9EMA, hasn't taken out the trigger for puts and has gone 2u on the daily, however it has been struggling to break and hold to the upside. Additionally, the day after a CPI print or the final moments of the day we typically get the "real move" as the dust settles. We did get a hotter than expected YoY reading with the 6.4% print, but the data was mixed overall.

Week of 2/6: SPY due for Thursday sell off? Inside daily candle is not something you want to see if you're thinking upside. I'm expecting a potential bounce at demand around $406, but I think we could go as low as $400 before the end of this week or sometime next week.
Not entirely sure how to play these but I think consider entering puts under $409.70
