Regime pinning · moves get faded back to the walls.

Each wall is the strike carrying the heaviest open interest within 15% of price, call above as resistance, put below as support, pooled across all listed expirations. It is a structural positioning level, not a single expiry pin. Max pain is tracked separately.

The Read

$VXX is in long gamma at a calm heat level of 36, which means dealers are pinning moves rather than amplifying them. The $22 call wall has held 89% of tests, while the $20 put wall is untested yesterday, suggesting both levels dealers keep an eye on. Spot sits 6.9% above the $20.18 put-call gamma flip, so any pullback would likely find support near that level.
