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

$XLB is in long gamma at a calm heat level of 31, which means dealers are pinning moves and damping volatility. The $55 call wall has untested yesterday, while the $47 put wall also remains untested, suggesting both levels could see dealer defense if hit. Spot is currently 5.3% above its gamma flip at $48.91, so any move down would likely face support from dealers.
