How to read this. These are the levels as they stood at the open of the last completed session, published after the fact. Today's are for members. CHEDDAR is the call wall overhead, BLUE the put wall underneath, MELT the price where dealer gamma flips sign, and max pain the strike where the most option value expires worthless.
A wall counts as tested when the high (or low) came within 0.3% of it or half a strike, whichever is wider, and as held when the session closed back on its side. MELT crossings are counted on 15-minute readings, so a quick round trip between two readings is not counted.
The levels are built from open interest, and they assume the usual dealer-sign convention: dealers net long calls and net short puts. That holds on aggregate index flow and is shakier on a single name. Positioning is context, not a signal — nothing here is advice.
