Considering the current volatility and upcoming CPI, what are your thoughts on SPX positioning?

The market seems to be bracing for next week's CPI data, which could be a significant catalyst for $SPX. Given the recent chop and the current inflation narrative, how are members adjusting their positioning? Are we seeing accumulation on dips, or is there a general lean towards hedging into the data release? Specifically, for those tracking options flow, are there any notable shifts in OI for the front-month expiries that suggest a particular directional bias or a move towards straddles/strangles?
