These are the October 20, 2026 closing levels. Members see TIC's board live all session, with the odds of reaching each level.
TIC's closing options book on October 20, 2026 carried +$864 of net dealer gamma spread across 5 expirations and 2 contracts. The sign is positive, so hedging leans against the move rather than with it.
TIC's apex — the strike carrying the most gamma in absolute terms — is 10, 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 not moved off 10 once. Walls that stay put and walls that migrate every session are different objects.
What TIC's walls are — and aren't
TIC's book has been recorded on 19 sessions. Its average daily range over that stretch was 4.38% of price. Walls are where dealer hedging is heaviest — positive gamma absorbs moves, negative gamma amplifies them. They are not bounce points, and across our grading they contained price no better than a same-width band around the prior close.
