Examples

See it in action.

Five worked examples — the board on the left, what price did on the right, in plain English. These are illustrative use cases that show typical ways levels have behaved, not specific trades or predictions.

Example 1

The Anchor held as the floor

The board
734↘ Reversal+$11.7M
728$6.4M
725◀ price
722-$2.1M
720★ Anchor-$18.1M ★
Takeaway
  • The amber Anchor ★ marked 720 as the heaviest level on the board before the open.
  • Price slid into it and slowed — a sticky reaction, exactly what its weight suggested.
  • The magenta Reversal ↘ up at 734 marked the far edge of the room — where the bounce ran out of room.
Example 2

A slippery put wall — not a cushion

The board
731$5.1M
729◀ price
727-$0.2M
726-$0.1M
724-$18.4M
Takeaway
  • The biggest level below price (724) was red · slippery — a floor that tends to give, not hold.
  • Strikes just above it were an air pocket ≈, so once price slipped it had nothing to slow it down.
  • Negative-gex floors don't catch — they accelerate. Plan accordingly.
Example 3

A positive gamma wall — the ceiling that holds

The board
595↗ Call wall$14.8M
592$1.4M
590◀ price
587-$2.0M
585-$8.3M
Takeaway
  • The green call wall at 595 was the strongest positive strike — a sticky ceiling.
  • Rallies pushed into it and stalled — in positive gamma, dealer hedging sells the rally back down.
  • A positive-gamma day tends to ping-pong in a range rather than run — the shock absorber is on.
Example 4

An anchor break — the squeeze that runs

The board
455-$0.2M
453↑ Lid-$11.2M
451◀ price
450Shelf$9.8M
448$1.1M
Takeaway
  • A sticky green shelf at 450 sat right under a slippery red lid ↑ at 453 — the squeeze setup.
  • Price pushed up through the lid and hedging chased it — the move sped up instead of stalling.
  • Thin air ≈ above meant nothing to slow the run.
Example 5

Wall + Anchor + Flip — all three at work

The board
7510⚡ Flip$219.8M
7500★ Anchor$2.5B ★
7495◀ price
7490$447.1M
7475Coil-$335.3M ◆
Takeaway
  • Net GEX was strongly positive — a calm market. The violet Flip ⚡ at 7510 capped the top.
  • The amber Anchor ★ at 7500 was by far the heaviest strike — price magnet for the whole session.
  • Below: 7490 held green/sticky. Rallies bumped 7500, dips bought 7490, range pinned all day.

These are illustrative examples for learning — prior-style use cases that show typical ways levels have behaved, not specific trades, predictions, or guarantees. Every session is different — the board describes positioning, never what price will do next.
