META’s Monster Gap — Gamma Ceiling. 8/1

134
META’s Monster Gap — Gamma Ceiling at $785 or Room to Run Past $800?

🔍 GEX & Options Flow Insight (1st Image Analysis)
META ripped higher on earnings momentum, gapping from the $690s into the $770s, and is now stalling just under the Gamma Wall / Highest Positive NET GEX at $784.69. Options positioning shows bullish gamma support but overhead resistance could trigger a stall or pullback before another leg up.
* Call Walls & Resistance:
* 📍 $784.69 → Highest positive NET GEX / Gamma Wall
* 📍 $800.00 → GEX10 & GEX9 ceiling = ultimate squeeze target if momentum continues
* Put Support Zones:
* 🛡️ $750.00 → Key 2nd Call Wall zone now acting as gamma support
* 📉 $700.00 / $691.30 → HVL zone + hard put support
* 🚨 Breakdown below $691 opens the door to a deep retracement
* Volatility Insight:
* IVR 5.6, IVx Avg 31.6 → Low IV = cheaper premium for directional plays
* Call flow 11.6% = Not euphoric, but bullish sentiment
* GEX sentiment: 🟢🟢🟢 = Long gamma environment, supportive of dips

✅ Option Trading Suggestion:
Bias: Bullish but extended — watch for consolidation before breakout
Strategy: Debit call spread (protects from IV crush)
* Entry Idea: Buy 780C / Sell 800C for Aug 2 or Aug 9 expiry
* Invalidation: Breakdown under 750 with volume
* Target: 785 → 800 on continuation
Why this works: META is riding strong bullish gamma positioning. As long as it holds above $750, dealer hedging supports price. Break above $785 could trigger short gamma acceleration to $800. But extended after earnings, so controlled size is key.
