Gamma Profile

Models Total Net GEX across a price range — reveals max hedging pressure zones and regime transitions at flip points.

Gamma Profile curve — above zero is low volatility regime, below zero is high volatility regime

Gamma Profile models how Total Net GEX changes if spot moves to different price levels:

  • Above zero line (Positive): Low volatility regime — favor mean reversion, sell premium
  • Below zero line (Negative): High volatility regime — favor momentum, buy volatility
  • Near zero: Uncertain regime — reduce size or stay out

The chart uses colored zones to classify gamma behavior: support (growing/declining), resistance (increasing/decreasing), and volatility zones.

Key Insight: Gamma Profile shows where max hedging pressure builds (S/V points) and where regime changes at flip points — not how price will behave, but how dealer hedging flows will respond to each modeled price level. Use with GEX by Strike (which tells WHERE) for complete analysis.
