Reading $QQQ 0DTE gamma like a textbook here. Let me walk you through what the options positioning is telling us.
The structure is clean: We've got three price magnets built from dealer gamma exposure. Think of these as gravitational pulls created by heavy options flow.
First magnet: $685 — this is your anchor. As long as we hold above this level, the gamma profile supports the bullish structure. Dealers are positioned to hedge in a way that creates buying support here. Break below? The whole setup invalidates and you're looking at a different trade.
Second magnet: $690 — your next target if $685 holds clean. This is where the next cluster of strikes lives. Price tends to drift toward these zones because of how dealers manage their delta exposure throughout the session.
Third magnet: $700 — the ceiling for this gamma structure. If we clear $690 with conviction, this becomes your measured move.
What confirms it: Price holding above $685 with volume, then a clean push through $690. What kills it: Any breakdown below $685 flips the gamma profile and you lose the structural edge.
This is textbook 0DTE mechanics — gamma positioning creates short-term price magnets. Trade the levels, respect the invalidation, and let the structure do the work.
