Positioning is consistent with range-bound trading between 180 and 185. A sustained move below 179.04 raises the odds of larger swings.
Positioning is consistent with price holding between the levels above and below rather than breaking out, so chasing a move is the main way to get hurt today. Watch 179.04. A sustained move below it may increase the chance of larger swings.
This describes what kind of day it is, not what to do. It is never a reason to buy or sell on its own.

Everything here is delayed. Option chains are delayed quotes and the price bars are fifteen minutes behind, which is stated again on the chart itself. Nothing on this page is a live tape, and it should not be used as one.
It adds no new data. The context and levels are the same numbers as the positioning page and the cone is the same simulation as forecast; the page exists to put them next to each other rather than a click apart. The dealer convention behind the gamma figures is an assumption, and it is sometimes wrong.
Dealer positioning is assumed, not observed. The model takes the customer to be a buyer of puts and a seller of calls, which puts the dealer long calls and short puts. Nothing in an option chain records who was on which side of a trade, so this is a convention that fits index and large-cap books and can be exactly backwards on a heavily retail-traded single name.
On individual stocks — especially popular retail names — these dealer levels are less reliable than on SPY/QQQ. Read them as a rough guide, not gospel.
Nothing to report yet.
Price has not broken any of the watched levels today, or the market has not opened.
