AXIIONIQ
A public path through candle basics, support and resistance, gamma behavior, sentiment, and scenario planning. The goal is simple: help traders understand what they are looking at before a signal ever fires.
In-depth explanations of the market-structure and options concepts AxiionIQ is built on — free to read, no account required.
Gamma exposure describes how option dealers are likely to hedge as price moves. It is a description of market structure, not a prediction.
The gamma flip is the price region where aggregate dealer gamma changes sign, separating volatility-suppressing from volatility-amplifying conditions.
Dealer hedging is the mechanical flow created when market makers neutralise the risk of option inventory. It is one of the more observable non-discretionary flows in markets.
0DTE options expire the same day they are traded. Their extreme gamma sensitivity concentrates hedging pressure into a single session.
Options flow is the record of executed option activity. Read well, it shows where attention and risk are being placed; read badly, it becomes a noise generator.
Classic support and resistance come from past price. Options-derived structure comes from present positioning. They answer different questions.
Market structure is the framework describing how price is currently organised: what is trending, what is ranging, and where behaviour is likely to change.
Liquidity is the market's capacity to absorb size without moving price. The same order flow produces a very different chart in a thin book.
A volatility regime is the prevailing character of movement. Identifying it early prevents applying range tactics to a trend day and trend tactics to a range day.
Sector rotation tracks where capital is being allocated across the market. It is context for risk appetite, not a timing tool.
Start with candle reading, key levels, and the daily routine newer traders need before chasing signals.
Connect gamma, sentiment, catalysts, and confirmation without treating any one input as magic.
Use confluence, risk, and participant behavior to build if-then plans instead of predictions.
