Market sentiment check at open: The split is pretty telling—17% bullish, 17% bearish, and a heavy 67% sitting on the fence. That neutral chunk is massive, and here's the thing: option sellers might be quietly positioning themselves in this uncertainty. Worth keeping an eye on how this plays out with $SPY through the session.

67% lying flat, this ratio is outrageous... Let's wait for the explosion.

67% on the sidelines? This is a feast for option sellers, taking advantage of volatility.

67% fence-sitters? Clearly, this is exactly the hunting ground for options sellers. On-chain data and sentiment indicators never lie — the public's hesitation is essentially a liquidity vacuum. Today's movement of SPY is just a litmus test to validate my argument.

67% are watching cautiously? The option seller has already made their move, waiting to harvest the profits... Nap warning, don't get caught up in the hype at this time.
