CMI gamma levels
From the closing options book · September 4, 2026
CMI's closing options book on September 4, 2026 carried −$2.5 million of net dealer gamma spread across 5 expirations and 45 contracts. The sign is negative, so hedging runs with the move rather than against it.
The heaviest call-side strike sits at 560 and the heaviest put-side strike at 530, a band 5.3% wide. CMI has averaged 3.09% between its high and its low over the last 89 sessions, which makes the full width of that band about 1.7 average sessions of travel. It closed sitting on the call wall.
CMI closed at 560.75 — level with the call wall and 5.5% above the put wall. The call wall is not a distance away at all; price finished on it, which is the one state where a level is unambiguously in play. Most levels drawn on a chart are never reached at all, and the distance is what separates them.
CMI's apex — the strike carrying the most gamma in absolute terms — is 530, the same strike as its put wall. When those stack on one level the book is concentrated rather than spread, and that single strike is doing most of the work.
Across the last 10 recorded sessions its call wall has printed two different strikes, and its put wall has printed two different strikes. Walls that stay put and walls that migrate every session are different objects, and the difference shows up here before it shows up in price.
How CMI has behaved around these levels
Over the last 89 recorded sessions, CMI closed between the previous session's put wall and call wall 42 times. Its average daily range over that stretch was 3.09% of price. These are descriptions of what already happened — they are not a forecast, and no level holds every time.
