Auto-note //Sitting below zero-gamma (147.50) — dealer hedging chases moves below it. The 150.00 call wall is the nearest-expiry ceiling heuristic; 144.00 is the floor. Options price ±2.1% into Nov 6. Dark-pool short volume at 43% and above vs its 20-day.
Composed from the nightly pipelines — every panel degrades independently when its dataset is missing. Heuristics labeled as heuristics; not investment advice.
