$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$ 🧠📈🔥 Nvidia at a Crossroads: Gamma Pressure, Key Levels, and My Trade Plan Into the Close 🔥📈🧠

I’m zeroed in on $NVDA today as it tests the upper bounds of a significant gamma cluster. Price is hovering around 143.66, brushing right against the high-volume level (HVL) at 143. With net GEX now exceeding $1.11 billion and concentrated call positioning between 145 and 150, I’m not treating this as ordinary resistance, it’s a defined battleground that could shape near-term direction.

🎯 My Trade Plan for the Final Hour

If we get a confirmed breakout above 145, especially with rising volume, I’ll scale into my position. My target zone is 150 to 153.13, which lines up with elevated open interest and prior supply zones.

If we reject again at 145, I’ll reduce exposure and look to re-enter near 138.75. That level coincides with the 5-day moving average and a recent demand zone. I’ve set my stop at 142.40, just under today’s VWAP and the lower edge of intraday structure. If that level breaks with volume, I’ll exit immediately to protect capital.

🧩 Why These Levels Matter

The 145 level isn’t just a round number, it’s the edge of a dense call wall, and dealers are sensitive to price moving through it. With the 150 strike showing the highest open interest, a move above 145 could force hedging to the upside and generate a momentum burst. I’m positioned to participate if that unlocks, but I won’t front-run it. If price fails to hold, I’ll wait for confirmation before re-entering. Structure and flow lead, not opinion.

🛡️ Risk Management and Execution Discipline

I’ve already taken partial profits and am managing the remaining position with a capped 1.2R risk profile. My execution plan is structured, with conditional scaling, pre-defined stops, and no tolerance for drift under key support. If $NVDA fails to build volume above resistance, I’ll flatten into the close and wait for clarity in Monday’s futures session.

🌐 Cross-Market Signals: SPX Gamma and Brent Skew Shape My Risk Lens

Even though I’m not directly trading $SPX or oil, I’m actively incorporating both into my NVDA risk framework. $SPX is rotating just above the 0DTE put wall at 5,975. If that level breaks, I expect dealer hedging flows to turn negative, dragging on high-beta names. That could cap $NVDA upside or even reverse strength into weakness.

Meanwhile, Brent crude is showing elevated implied volatility and a deeply inverted skew. Second-month IV is above 70 percent, and the 25-delta skew remains call-heavy, traders are still bracing for a headline shock. If geopolitical risk escalates this weekend, I’m preparing for a potentially defensive tech open on Monday and will position accordingly.

Brent’s skew and implied volatility remain elevated for a reason. According to Reuters, Israeli airstrikes killed 44 Palestinians, including 25 near aid trucks, with UNICEF and the Red Cross warning of worsening humanitarian conditions. As infrastructure collapses and tensions escalate, traders continue to hedge upside risk. If headlines intensify over the weekend, I’m preparing for a potentially defensive tech open on Monday and a further bid into oil-linked convexity.

🔭 Trade Triggers and Adjustments Into the Close

   •   Close above 145 with volume exceeding 20 million shares and VIX steady: I’ll maintain exposure into next week and prepare to trail up stops above 147

   •   Close below 143 with fading volume and a rising VIX: I’ll exit the position and reassess Monday once post-OPEX flows are visible

   •   Headline-driven spike or volatility shock: I’ll step aside and re-enter only after price reclaims structure with confirmation above 143

🧾 Final Takeaway

I’m not here to forecast, I’m here to execute. $NVDA is offering a clean, high-probability structure supported by options flow and macro context, but confirmation remains essential. I’ll stay tactical, focused, and responsive to what the market actually prints, not what it promises.

Trading isn’t about predicting. It’s about patience, discipline, and trusting your plan when the setup aligns. That’s how I protect capital and stay positioned for asymmetric opportunity.
