4 events that will decide $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ move to $700+ or back down to $650:

Here’s what every trader must watch 👇

1️⃣Dec 16 – US Labour Market Data

→ strong jobs = rates stay higher = risk assets wobble

→ weak jobs = cuts back on table = SPY fuel

2️⃣ Dec 18–19 – Bank of Japan Rate Decision

→ a hike tightens global liquidity

→ yen strength = risk-off shockwaves

3️⃣ Dec 18 – CPI (Inflation Report)

→ the market’s reality check

→ one print can reset rate expectations instantly

4️⃣ Friday – Final OPEX of 2025

→ Dealers unwind hedges

→ Gamma flips = sharp, fast moves

Translation for traders:

Low volatility now ≠ low risk.

This is where big money positions early and retail gets surprised.
