We've been grinding in this range for weeks. Vol is compressing. VIX sitting at 18 — complacent but not dead. Here's the setup: whoever breaks first (bulls through 7000, bears through 6765) triggers a massive move. The institutions are loaded with gamma at both strikes. My read: the Iran situation keeps a bid under defense/energy while tech stays rangebound. Play the compression with iron condors above 7000 / below 6765, or wait for the break and ride the momentum. Don't get caught in the middle.
