Auto-note //Sitting below zero-gamma (68.75) — dealer hedging chases moves below it. The 67.50 call wall is the nearest-expiry ceiling heuristic; 70.00 is the floor. Options price ±8.0% into Nov 20. Dark-pool short volume at 30% and easing vs its 20-day. The falling-knife screen has it turned after a 16% sell-off.
Composed from the nightly pipelines — every panel degrades independently when its dataset is missing. Heuristics labeled as heuristics; not investment advice.
