Zero DTE just expanded into equities. Starting this Monday, January 26th, you will see Monday, Wednesday, and Friday expirations on the biggest names in the market.

Apple. Nvidia. Microsoft. Amazon. Google. Meta. Broadcom. Even IBIT.

This is the biggest development since weekly options launched. The 2026 zero DTE stock market takeover is officially underway.

Nvidia already trades 2.3 million option contracts daily. When they add Monday and Wednesday expirations, that number explodes. The gamma from these equities will drive the Nasdaq and S&P 500 in ways we have never seen before.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is stuck in a 100 point range on a $7,000 product. That compression is historic. When it breaks, the move will be violent in either direction.

Here is what I am watching in tonight's video:

• The S&P 500 has traded between 6,850 and 6,950 for months. That is less than 1.5% range compression building massive gamma risk.
• SPX traded 4 million contracts today alone. That is the equivalent of 40 million SPY contracts.
• Silver just cracked $100. Gold is approaching $5,000. The bond market is threatening lower.
• The VVX remains elevated at 101 despite sitting near all time highs. That is a warning sign.
• Next week's expected move jumped to $116. The market is pricing in volatility most traders are ignoring.

Tech has completely stalled. Apple is being sold heading into earnings. Microsoft got dumped until today. The AI trade is bifurcating.

The manic rotations from financials to home builders to consumer staples are not strategy. They are confusion. Money does not know where to go.

When this tight range finally breaks, it will be a coin flip on direction. But the move itself will be explosive.
