What to watch next
QQQ: Use $751.27 and the 0.17% decline as reference points for subsequent price updates, not as a forecast.
SPX and SPXW: Keep the expirations separate: the SPXW call expires October 16, while the large SPX puts and calls expire November 20.
WLD, SUI and ARB: Watch whether open interest continues to fall while prices rise. Price gains and declining open interest describe different parts of market activity.
SNDK and MSFT: Their 2029 and 2028 expirations place these orders on a much longer timeline than the October and November index contracts.
