SAMPLE WEEKLY PLAYBOOK · WEEK OF AUG 31 – SEP 4, 2026

Prepare for the week. Adapt to the market.

This is a dated educational sample of what members receive every Sunday. Levels and scenarios reflect that week's plan and are not current market guidance.

SPX / ES structure

Week of Aug 31 – Sep 4, 2026

Positive gamma regime above the 7620–7650 zone. Dips into the zone are buy-the-retest candidates while structure holds; acceptance below 7600 flips the week defensive.

7700Weekly resistance / call wall. First area to expect supply; needs acceptance to extend.
7675Upper magnet (heavy call OI). Target 2 for longs from the pivot.
7670Target 1 for longs. Scale area.
7650Weekly pivot. Above = bulls in control. The level the whole plan is built around.
7625 / 7620Support shelf. Lowest area bulls want to see hold on any early-week dip.
7600Zero-gamma flip (approx.). Below here moves can accelerate; bias turns defensive.
7580 → 7550Downside targets if 7600 fails and is accepted.
BULL SCENARIO

Hold or FBD-reclaim of 7650 on a retest → long continuation level-to-level: 7670 → 7675 → 7700. Invalidation: acceptance under 7643.

BEAR SCENARIO

Loss of 7620 with a failed reclaim → fade rallies into 7650 for 7600 → 7580. Invalidation: reclaim of 7650 with acceptance.

ES futures note: ES trades ~+20 to the SPX levels this week (fair-value basis). Same structure; use ES for overnight/pre-market reads and SPX options for defined-risk expression. Futures carry unlimited-loss risk — size accordingly.

MEGA-CAP SETUP · NVDA

NVDA — post-earnings range, waiting for the edge

Digesting last week's earnings gap. Range 172–186 defined; options flow skewed to upside calls but not chasing.

186Range high / call wall. Breakout needs acceptance, not a wick.
178Mid-range pivot. Nothing to do here.
172Range low / gap support. FBD candidate.
BULL SCENARIO

FBD at 172 (dip below, reclaim, hold) → long toward 178 then 186. Invalidation: acceptance under 170.

BEAR SCENARIO

Rejection at 186 with heavy put flow → fade toward 178. Invalidation: acceptance above 187.

Weekly calls only after confirmation; premium is elevated post-earnings.

MEGA-CAP SETUP · TSLA

TSLA — trend day potential into delivery numbers

Q3 delivery estimates due this week. Price sitting on the 20-day; gamma flips near 330.

352Prior swing high. Target for a trend day.
340Pivot. Above = trend-day candidate.
330Zero-gamma flip / 20-day. Below here moves accelerate.
BULL SCENARIO

Reclaim and hold 340 in the first 30 minutes → trend-day long toward 352. Invalidation: back under 336.

BEAR SCENARIO

Loss of 330 with acceptance → puts toward 318. Invalidation: reclaim of 334.

Event-driven — plan the reaction to the delivery print, do not predict it.

Catalysts — plan the reaction, not the headline

We consider the event risk, map the relevant levels, and discuss the conditions that would support a trade after the market reacts.
