Weekly
Gamma: positive on the full book, but the Oct 23 weekly slice is slightly negative (−$8.6M; yesterday's expired board was −$70M) — spot sits below the weekly flip at 83.0k, so moves run sharper, no clean pin expected; weekly gamma mass sits right on spot at 82k.
Weekly walls: call wall 90k, put wall 78k (largest weekly OI, actively built); max pain 83k. 52% of OI sits above spot, but 64% of new OI last session went below — puts at 76–78k plus 82–83k near spot.
Weekly charm −$1.2M (gross, small — OI clustered around spot).
IBIT: weekly slice in positive gamma, flip 80.7k, put wall 79.0k, call wall and gamma wall 84.3k, max pain 82.6k; both edges built — 79.0k and 84.3k. Venues agree on 78–79k support and the 82.6–83k magnet; IBIT's cap is closer at 84.3k vs 90k on BTC.
Total
Full-book DEX $3.29B — recovered from yesterday's $1.9B dip (weekly board expired), back at last week's $3.3–3.9B: dealer hedge still net long. Total flip 79.5k and max pain 79k below spot — same spot as the 79.3k node (score 5). Vol at the 19th percentile of the year: short-vol premium is thin.
Week ahead (beta)
104 days of history. Honest check: yesterday's fight for the 80–81k node played out — 81,016 → 81,953, node held, Oct 16 expiry settled near 82k, spot back at IBIT cost basis 81.9k and the lower edge of the 82–87k range (day 20); no triggers fired. Two components were in conflict yesterday: the Coinbase discount (weaker next day) didn't play — +0.7%, quiet session; the implied-vol signal (return to 83–84k) played halfway — to 82k.
Base case: on the new Oct 23 board, 78,000–86,000 with an 80–84k core — chop around the 82k gamma mass with sharp intraday moves: Deribit weekly gamma slightly negative, spot below the 83.0k flip; IBIT in positive gamma with max pain 82.6k and gamma at 84.3k smooths it. Below: MA50 81.3k, 79.3k node (score 5: flip + gamma + magnet + max pain + OI; total flip 79.5k), 78k (put wall, actively built; IBIT support 79.0k). Above: max pain 83k + flip 83.0k, 84.3k (IBIT call wall), 85.9k (fresh), 88.1k (score 3, quarterly call wall) and 90k. Options price ~2% odds of −10% by Friday — no flush priced. Mixed backdrop: short squeezes on the day, long liquidations on the week; ETF 5d outflow; CME weak long tilt; DEX recovered.
Downside caveat: Coinbase net premium in deep discount — US spot demand weaker than the rest of the market; the next 24h after this tend to be weaker (about tomorrow, not the week). One component down, structure gives no direction — base case stays chop. Slow trend still up.
Downside trigger: acceptance below 81k/80k opens 79.3k and 78k; a break of 78k targets 76k (puts built) and the monthly frame (max pain 79k, put wall 70k, puts being built at 66k).
Upside trigger: reclaim 83k opens 84.3k and 85.9k; 88k caps the week.
Alternative: back into the range, pinned 82–84k into Friday — both venues' max pain (83k/82.6k) argue for it. Beta.
