Session record for 2026-09-08
This page is the record of one trading session that has already closed. It states the close, whether the levels published that morning were reached, and where the session traded against them.
A closed session measured after the fact. The close and the session extremes are settled figures; the level verdicts below are read off a 30-minute grid. What this record is measured from
SPX closed at 7,673.52 on 2026-09-08, 45.08 points below the prior close of 7,718.60.
The close was 23.00 points above the morning gamma flip at 7,650.52. The call wall at 7,800.00 was untouched; the closest approach was 82.19 points.
The close is the settled figure, taken from the next session's prior close rather than from a capture.
The morning levels against this session
Levels published for the 2026-09-08 session, computed from open interest settled 2026-09-04. They are a settlement figure for the session, not a reading taken during it. The call wall, the put wall and the gamma flip are computed once in the morning from open interest that settled on an earlier date. They are dated readings, not a continuous feed, and they do not update through the session.
Morning gamma flip 7,650.52, regime positive.

Event log, secondary detail
The log below is secondary detail. It is one line per capture on the 30-minute grid, kept so a reading above can be traced back to the captures it came from.
Event rows carry the gamma model's reference price for each 30-minute snapshot. It is not the vendor's session close and the two can differ by a few points.
