QQQ$716.18-2.90BDealers short gamma$730.40 (spot below)$725 +1.23% · OI 1,223$715 -0.16% · OI 3,333

Positive gamma: dealers sell rallies and buy dips, damping moves. Negative gamma: dealers chase, amplifying moves.

Walls are gamma-weighted, not raw OI. 503-day test: a NEAR call wall is real resistance and breakouts through it run shorter; a FAR call wall breaks more often (a volatility tell). Put walls show no measurable support.
