Purest retail gaugeSame-day-expiry (0DTE) volume on QQQ · TSLA · NVDA is the most retail-dominated corner of the options market — lottery-ticket flow with no overnight commitment. Each name is its own line (no basket), so you can see whether a move is broad or one name.
Premise vs SPXThe chart plots 0DTE volume against SPX (^GSPC). Premise: the two co-move. The read is the deviation — the computed 0DTE-vs-SPX return correlation under the volume chart states the number and the dated window; a low / negative correlation is 0DTE volume decoupled from price.
Premise vs liquidityOverlay the liquidity taps — US M2, the Fed balance sheet (WALCL), reverse repo (RRP). Premise: 0DTE frenzy co-moves with liquidity IN (M2 & WALCL rising, RRP draining). Compare the shapes; where they diverge is the read.
Premise vs rates / inflationOverlay the 10Y Treasury rate (DGS10) and CPI inflation (CPIAUCSL). Premise: 0DTE frenzy softens as the 10Y rate & CPI climb. The read is whether the frenzy line tracks or diverges from the rate / inflation lines over the window — a comparison, not a forecast.
Put/call = moodThe put/call ratio labels the mood: P/C below ~0.8 = more calls than puts (call-heavy); above ~1.1 = more puts than calls (put-heavy / hedging). The volume P/C vs premium-$ P/C spread below the P/C chart is the computed money-vs-crowd deviation.
Two divergence shapesThe picture has two divergence configurations: 0DTE volume rising while liquidity drains / rates rise, or 0DTE volume falling while liquidity rises / rates ease. Each is a described state of the plotted lines — read the actual numbers and dates off the panes above.
