How to use OSV to see if there is more room for growth and the pull backs are safe to buy.
Since its trading sideways at 742. You look at the totals log and tank table to see what is happening ioat 742.
Is the Voldiff going up or down?
ITM value going up or down?
Whats the signal
look at the TANK
its pretty solid growth.....This means its a build up to the next price destination. So 742 was loading zone for 746........which will either happen over night or before the week is over.

If you haven’t figured it out yet… Growing ITM pressure is what dictates direction.
If you haven’t figured it out yet…
Growing ITM pressure is what dictates direction.
Price doesn’t just randomly move.
Market makers, hedging activity, positioning, and aggressive participation leave footprints inside the option chain long before most traders recognize the move.
The problem?
Most platforms only show surface-level data:
• Price
• Volume
• Greeks
• Basic OI
But none of them track the growth behavior of ITM pressure over time in a way traders can actually use in real-time.
That’s where OSV changes the game.
OSV tracks:
• Growing ITM Call dominance
• Growing ITM Put dominance
• Strength expansion
• Pressure shifts
• Tank behavior
• MP/LP positioning
• Momentum continuation vs exhaustion
Not after the move.
During the build-up.
Most traders stare at candles trying to predict direction.
OSV watches the pressure underneath the candles.
That’s the difference.
By the time the chart “looks obvious,” the positioning already happened.
OSV was designed to expose that positioning before the crowd reacts.

Powerful OSV told you the bears momentum was getting weak at 733 we are now at 738.54
No other tool out there will give you heads up and intel during consolidation choppy periods.

Currently what is happening
we will trade sideways at 739 until ITM increases back to positive. as OTM is lossing strength in puts.
When that happens then we go back to 740 another attemto to get to 743.

Here is a good habit to hold
Every day keep an eye on the the friday's expiration. Watch the All totals Strdiff.
friday's stregnth dictates the weeks sentimennt.
spy average stregth for bull is 5k.....23k is super above average.
just mind your entry

Here is how to use OSV
red strike means price destination.
green strike is the loading zone.
this tells you at people are loading up at 739 or 738 basically buy the dips as they come. You see the ITM increasing progressively?
on the OSV chart you see the green loading zone and the red price destination.
the tank table shows you the tank is increasing. and any pull back is safe to buy
all thi9s while the charts are showing you confusiion.

How to identify Consolidation or choppy using OSV with SPY.
while the rest of the market was moving creating higher highs. SPY traded sideways between 736 and 737.
This is the best way to know if the SPY is choppy/sideways so that you can avoid entering either 0dte or just avoid it over all.
green box is 737 and red box is 736.
In the totals table for 737 you can see the ITM is call stregntin is increasing positive while OTM is increasing in the negative. This means theres not enough movement in OTM at price 737 to really propell Spy to the next price of 738 (Not until later day of high 738.07)
so overall the more accurate statement is 737 spy, its bullish but it lacks OTM buyers.
now lets take a look at 736.
you can see that ITM at 736 is decreasing (Pulling the price down) While OTM is increasing (Pushing the price back up to 737).
so the trading range was 736-737. Which is a very tight range. if you have alot of capital to survive then go for it.
basically if you bought all dips on SPY's price action you would have been able to exit at 738.
the new feature on OSV located in the totals table will give you and even sharper edge over the volatile market.
Enjoy your weekend folks and lets do it all over again next week.

Looking like 736 is losing call stregnth and 737 still bullish but nobody is buying OTM calls. But both stregth differences is slowly losing stregnth and puts slightly increasing.

🚨 NEW TOTALS LOG UPGRADE IS LIVE 🚨
🚨 NEW TOTALS LOG UPGRADE IS LIVE 🚨
We just added one of the biggest upgrades yet to the Totals Log system.
✅ New Features
- ITM Pressure
- OTM Pressure
- Live Signal Detection
- Smart Column Toggles
- Cleaner Layout & Better Visibility
This update gives traders a much deeper look into how strength is building across the option chain in real time.
📊 What Is ITM / OTM Pressure?
The Totals Log now tracks:
🟢 ITM (In-The-Money) Pressure
🔵 OTM (Out-Of-The-Money) Pressure
These values measure the imbalance between Call Strength and Put Strength on BOTH sides of the option chain.
This helps reveal:
- Where aggressive positioning is building
- Whether strength is expanding or fading
- If momentum is strengthening internally before price reacts
- Early signs of reversals or continuation moves
🧠 Why This Matters
Price can move sideways while pressure changes underneath the surface.
Now traders can monitor:
🔥 Bullish loading
🔥 Bearish stacking
🔥 Momentum acceleration
🔥 Weakening trends
🔥 Internal flips BEFORE major price movement
This gives traders another layer of conviction during consolidation and choppy market conditions.
🚦 New Signal System
The Totals Log now generates automatic signals based on ITM + OTM pressure alignment.
🟢 Bull Align
Both ITM and OTM pressure are positive.
Calls are building strength across the chain.
🚀 Bull Accel
Strong bullish expansion.
Usually appears during aggressive momentum growth.
🔴 Bear Align
Both ITM and OTM pressure are negative.
Put pressure is dominating the chain.
⚠️ OTM Flip
OTM pressure begins turning bullish while ITM remains bearish.
Can signal early reversal behavior or positioning shifts.
🧲 ITM Load
ITM strength turns positive while OTM remains weak.
Often signals traders loading near current price.
⚪ Neutral
No strong directional alignment yet.
🎯 Additional Quality Of Life Updates
✔️ Cleaner Totals Log layout
✔️ Optional column toggles
✔️ OI/Volume columns hidden by default for better readability
✔️ Faster visual interpretation
✔️ Export CSV support includes new fields
This is another major step toward making OSV a true real-time positioning and pressure analysis system.
More upgrades coming. 👀

at 731 using the totals log i only pay attention to StrDiff and VOldiff.
at 731 using the totals log i only pay attention to StrDiff and VOldiff.
- StrDiff = directional positioning imbalance
- VolDiff = actual participation / flow imbalance
When both begin improving together, it often signals a shift before price fully reacts.
What We’re Seeing
From the top row to the bottom row:
StrDiff
Started around:
- -8,189
Ended around:
- -6,786
That means:
✅ Put dominance is still present
BUT
✅ bearish pressure is weakening steadily over time.
The negative values are getting LESS negative.
That is bullish improvement.
VolDiff
Started around:
- -828k
Ended around:
- -688k
Again:
✅ Put-side volume dominance is fading.
Not only is strength recovering…
Participation imbalance is also recovering.
That’s extremely important.
Why This Matters
Most traders only look at price.
But your table is showing:
- price stayed relatively trapped around 731
- while internal bearish pressure weakened underneath
That’s classic consolidation absorption behavior.
The Sequence
Early Session
StrDiff:
- -8189
- -8227
- -8138
VolDiff:
- -828k
- -832k
- -823k
This shows:
- strong bearish dominance
- aggressive put participation
- downside pressure intact
Mid Session
Then things begin changing.
StrDiff improves:
- -7595
- -7452
- -7325
- -7253
VolDiff improves:
- -769k
- -754k
- -742k
- -734k
This is the key transition phase.
What this means:
✅ Bears are no longer increasing control
✅ Put participation growth is slowing
✅ Calls are beginning to absorb pressure
This is usually where weak-handed traders get chopped up.
Later Session
Toward the bottom:
StrDiff:
- -6831
- -6824
- -6810
- -6754
- -6786
VolDiff:
- -692k
- -692k
- -690k
- -685k
- -688k
Now the structure changes completely.
Even though values remain negative:
- the rate of bearish expansion is dead
- pressure stabilized
- bears stopped gaining momentum
That often leads to:
- sideways compression
- failed downside continuation
- eventual upside rotation
Important Observation
Price did NOT collapse while:
- Put Vol stayed dominant
- Put Strength stayed dominant
That’s critical.
Because if puts were truly overpowering price:
you would expect accelerating downside.
Instead:
- price held
- bearish internals weakened
That’s hidden bullish divergence.
OSV Interpretation
This table is basically saying:
>
That’s often how reversals begin.
The Biggest Clue
The most important thing here is NOT that values are negative.
The most important thing is:
The negatives are shrinking consistently over time.
That means:
- less bearish aggression
- weakening put dominance
- increasing absorption
- possible bullish transition building
What I’d Watch Next
If this continued, the next likely sequence would be:
- StrDiff approaches: -6000 → -5000
- VolDiff approaches: -500k → -300k
- Price remains stable
THEN:
⚠️ sudden upside expansion becomes increasingly likely.
Because once put pressure exhausts:
- price no longer has resistance overhead
- trapped puts begin unwinding
- calls begin taking control quickly
Final Read
This does NOT look like strengthening bearish continuation.
It looks more like:
- bearish exhaustion
- consolidation
- weakening downside conviction
- hidden bullish divergence forming underneath price
The key is:
price stayed relatively stable while internals improved significantly.
That’s usually not what strong bearish trends look like.
