Net Flow
Call flow net positive (about +10M, rising); put flow net negative (about -25M). Stock drifted from 778.5 to 776 while call flow stayed bid, indicating mild bullish support near 776.
Open Interest by Strikes
Largest call OI wall at 780 (about 200K, dominant), plus 776, 784, 800. Largest put walls at 752, 700, 650. So 780 is upside gravity and 752 is major downside put support.
Whales Positioning (cumulative net premiums by strike)
Whales heavily long 780 (about +27M, rising), a bullish target. Net bearish at 775 (about -13M), 765 (about -14M), 770 (about -12M), clustering hedges and resistance-to-downside in the 765 to 775 zone.
Dealer OI (dealer delta)
Largest negative dealer delta at 775 (about -13M) and in near-dated expiries (8/26 about -8M). Dealers are short delta around 775, making it a key pivot or pin. Positive dealer delta at 755, 765, 814.
Gamma Exposure (GEX)
Total GEX deeply negative, trough around 770 to 776 (about -3,400M); gamma flip near 802 to 805. Below the flip is negative-gamma (volatile, trend-amplifying) territory; the 8/14 and 8/24 expiries hold most of the gamma. Zero-gamma pin interplay centers near 776, with volatility expanding on breaks.
Approximate Daily Price Ranges
Overall week: Expect consolidation roughly 770 to 784, pivoting on 775, with 780 as the upside magnet (call wall plus whale longs) and 770 to 772 as first support ahead of the deeper 752 put wall. A sustained move above the roughly 802 to 805 gamma flip would shift the tape toward stable/positive gamma; staying below keeps intraday swings wider.
Note: These are options-positioning-implied zones (dealer, gamma, and flow mechanics), not price predictions. Realized ranges depend on macro or news catalysts that week.
