EEM gamma levels
From the closing options book · September 4, 2026
EEM's closing options book on September 4, 2026 carried +$96.9 million of net dealer gamma spread across 5 expirations and 156 contracts. The sign is positive, so hedging leans against the move rather than with it.
The heaviest call-side strike sits at 70 and the heaviest put-side strike at 62, a band 12% wide. EEM has averaged 1.48% between its high and its low over the last 89 sessions, which makes the full width of that band about 7.9 average sessions of travel. It closed in the upper third of that band.
EEM closed at 68.70 — 1.9% below the call wall and 9.8% above the put wall. The call side is the nearer of the two at 1.9% away, which is the only reason it is worth watching more closely than the other. Most levels drawn on a chart are never reached at all, and the distance is what separates them.
The gamma flip is at 68, 1% below the close. Crossing it is the single change that most alters how the book behaves, because it inverts the direction dealer hedging pushes — so it matters more than its distance suggests.
EEM's apex — the strike carrying the most gamma in absolute terms — is 70, the same strike as its call 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 5 different strikes, and its put wall has printed 5 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 EEM has behaved around these levels
