How SPY Whales Signaled the Top Today — “The Turn”
So far, we’ve talked about ladders — progressive out-the-money betting by SPY whales — and flow-price divergence, when whales load contracts in the opposite direction of price movement.
After some backtesting, and now that we’re out of the CPI-driven hedge fog, one thing stands out:
a pattern that keeps repeating — a move I call The Turn.
🌀 What “The Turn” Looks Like
A Turn happens when whale orders in one direction peak, stall, and then roll back the other way.
It’s the moment when aggressive flow starts unloading, and the big money quietly flips.
You’ll notice it right before tops:
The whales ladder calls upward.
The last batch prints near peak momentum.
Then, suddenly, they stop — and start hitting puts instead.
That’s your signal of exhaustion — and it hit today, perfectly.
📊 Example — October 27 Flow
Look at the highlighted cluster in SPY Magic: a stack of bullish orders from 681 → 684 calls, all 10/31 expirations, followed almost immediately by a wave of puts.
That’s The Turn.
The exact pivot point where whales stopped bidding the climb and began hedging the fall.
🧭 Spot-On Result
Session top: 685.61.
That last validated contract — a 685 call — hit just before power hour and marked the peak of day.
Minutes later, flow reversed, volume thinned, and SPY couldn’t print a new high.
💬 Why It Matters
I’ve seen this setup dozens of times in the last few weeks (except the two sessions before CPI, which were heavily distorted by hedge re-balancing).
It’s why, in the Garden, we were watching the 684 C 0DTE scalp live — the flow said 685 was the ceiling.
Chop stole the full move, but the precision was dead-on.
🧠 Lesson:When the whales turn, price follows.
