Auto-note //Holding above zero-gamma (395.00) — dealer hedging dampens moves above it. The 380.00 call wall is the nearest-expiry ceiling heuristic; 400.00 is the floor. Options price ±5.4% into Nov 20. Dark-pool short volume at 24% 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.
