Positioning into the week

At the Fri Oct 30 close, SPY sat at $755.72 and dealer positioning across all expirations was short gamma — dealer hedging tends to lean with moves. Counting only contracts that expire over the next five sessions, the levels were:

LevelSPYDistance from close
Call wall$780.00+3.21%
Gamma flip$768.97+1.75%
Put wall$755.00-0.10%

How much weight to give these levels

We test our own levels instead of asserting them. Across 100 trading days of stored data, the call wall held 44% and the put wall 51% of the times price reached them, and days that opened in short gamma ran 16–36% wider high to low than days that opened in long gamma. The full study, failures included.

⚠
Nothing on this page predicts direction. The regime describes how dealer hedging tends to interact with moves; the levels are where gamma is concentrated. Both are context, not trade signals.
