📈Dealer GEX +$2.8M positive, supporting pinning near $115.

Pin Risk Assessment

Spot vs MP: Below

GEX regime: Pinning ($+2.8M)

Gamma flip: ~$75.00 — Approx — based on put OI concentration of 13,148 (29.3% below spot)

Verdict: Spot far below max pain; pin risk to upside but downside risk if support $94.46 breaks.

How to Use These Reports

This theta reflects the market close on June 10, 2026.

What the reports do

Each report translates the same market-close options snapshot into a specific lens such as directional bias, premium-selling posture, flow quality, or earnings setup.

How traders use them

Reports are most useful for narrowing the playbook, surfacing entry and risk context, and deciding which raw data page to inspect next.

What to remember

These are interpretation layers, not execution guarantees. Validate the setup against chain liquidity, expected move, and exposure before sizing risk.

If the report conviction and the raw data disagree, slow down and resolve the mismatch before sizing risk.
