•Indices: USA indices in pullback since midnight. SPY below 375 gamma level and approaching 372.89 which was previous bounce level. Major support at 370. 375 and 380 can serve as resistance on bounces. QQQ above 280 gamma level which served as support Wed. 285 and 290 are resistance levels. VIX futures 28.05 but curve not inverted, look for 1.7% intraday move. A move > 30 can lead to accelerated selling. Indices are configured for a trend day lower; however, PPI data at 830ET will move markets. Look for potential rebounds or accelerated selling at gamma levels
