SMR Gamma Today: Positioning Walls and the Flip

Every number here is computed from the traded SMR options chain. The call wall is where dealer hedging accumulates above spot and caps upside, the put wall is its mirror below, and the gamma flip is the level where hedging stops damping moves and starts amplifying them.

Where does SMR stand relative to the gamma flip?

السعرُ 9.7000 يعلو نقطةَ الانقلاب 8.5400 بفارق 13.58٪، مسافةٌ مريحة. Positioning is clearly positive: dealer hedging buys dips and sells rallies, so price tends to grind within a range rather than jump. Flipping this state يحتاج هبوطاً يتجاوز 13.6٪، أي أنّه ليس سيناريو الجلسة الأقرب. Price is inside the range between 9.0000 and 10.0000, closer to Call wall of the two.

Option walls and session range

أكبرُ تجمّعٍ لعقود الشراء عند 10.0000 (3.09% from price)، ولعقود البيع عند 9.0000 (-7.22% from price)، والمسافةُ بينهما 11.11٪، a **wide** range. That does not imply a move is coming, only that the walls are far enough apart not to confine SMR during the session, so flow leads rather than hedging.

Exposure size and hedging density

صافي تعرّض الغاما لـSMR يبلغ 564,248، وهو حجمٌ محدود. Hedging for a 1% move is about 58,170 shares. In this range hedging stays secondary to the stock's own flow, so the levels below should not be asked to carry more than they can.
