$META $645C 9/18 +34.5% (peak +74%). The Fed hiked for the first time since 2023 and signalled another this year. The tape sold the Dow and left the Nasdaq flat, and bought index downside all session, not single-name upside. We took nothing new into it.
$SPY closed 754.05: holding 750 keeps this a range, 760 caps.
$QQQ closed 704.72: 700 floor, 710 caps.
$INTC $105C 9/18 -82.1% (peak +14.1%) after a 4.1% day, still 3.8% under strike.
$CCI arms above 77, dies below 72.81.
