## The morning levels against the session

Levels published for the 2026-09-09 session, computed from open interest settled 2026-09-08. 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 7,657.53, 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.
