SharkQuant maps dealer positioning, gamma exposure, and liquidity zones so you know what happens next — before it happens.
Options market makers must hedge their positions. That hedging creates predictable price behavior at specific levels. We map it.
Large open interest at specific strikes creates "walls" — levels where dealer buying or selling pressure is mechanically guaranteed. We calculate exact call walls and put walls in real-time.
As price approaches a wall, dealers adjust hedges. Near call walls they sell, pushing price down. Near put walls they buy, pushing price up. This creates a predictable magnetic effect.
When price breaks through a wall, dealers are forced to chase. This creates cascading moves — gamma squeezes up, or waterfalls down. You see the setup before it triggers.
Massive call gamma concentrated at the 520 strike. Every approach was met with dealer selling. Price could not sustain above the wall.
Put gamma wall at 510 with thin liquidity below. Once price broke through, dealers were forced to sell to hedge — triggering a cascade with no support.
QQQ broke above the 445 call wall on volume. Dealers who were short calls had to buy shares to delta-hedge, accelerating the move higher.

Real-time gamma maps, dealer flow signals, and regime detection — everything in one interface.
Real-time visualization of call and put gamma at every strike. See exactly where dealer hedging creates floors and ceilings. Updated continuously throughout the session.
Precise price levels where market makers are concentrated. Know the exact strikes acting as magnets or barriers — and which direction pressure pushes when they break.
Same-day options create volatile, fast-moving gamma effects. Track 0DTE flow to catch intraday setups that only exist for hours — or minutes.
Map where liquidity sits and where it doesn't. Air pockets above or below key levels signal where price moves fastest — and where stops get run.
Not just data — actionable setups. "If SPY breaks 525, expect acceleration to 530." Cause → effect framing for every key level, every session.
Long gamma or short gamma? The regime determines whether dealers stabilize or amplify moves. Know the environment before you place the trade.
