October CPI lands at 08:30 ET — the last inflation print before the December Fed meeting, and for the first time with no official 12-month rate. The S&P 500 closed right on 7,550, the only positive-gamma strike in a negative-gamma chain, with a ±72.6-point expected move for today.

In this episode of MenthorQ Daily:
• The CPI gate: the levels that matter on the S&P 500 (7,550 pivot, 7,500 Put Support, 7,675 HVL) and three scenarios for the print
• Why Monday's rally was mostly mechanical: what the MenthorQ Q-CTA and Vol Control models show, and why the VIX is pinned around 20
• The AI bill moves down the chain: chipmaker credit, hyperscaler cash flow, and why Nvidia's options are already pricing the 17 November results
