Output PreviewGauge chart: spot position vs gamma flip

Fetches real data from the Cayo Largo API

What You'll See

Finds the interpolated price level where cumulative GEX crosses zero. Above the flip, dealers stabilize price (positive gamma). Below, they amplify moves (negative gamma).

The Trading Edge

What most people do

Don't track the gamma flip at all. The concept is well-known in equities (SpotGamma, SqueezeMetrics) but almost nobody computes it for crypto options.

What this gives you

The exact gamma flip level, distance from spot in percent, and the gamma regime classification. When spot drops below the flip level, hedging flows become self-reinforcing, cascading through the book.

Go deeper

Use Gamma Pinning Map to see if the pinning zone sits above or below the flip. Combine with Whale Sweep Tracker to see if large players are pushing price toward the flip.
