Each day has its own daily report with session charts and every wall event.

Sessions

New York moved the most, with an average range of 1.59 %, against 1.16 % in Asia and 0.94 % in London.

New York saw the most walls eaten (6), London the most pulled (6).

Liquidity walls

Across the three sessions, 15 walls were eaten, 15 were pulled before price reached them and 5 held. The largest: a 618 BTC ask wall at 83,940, eaten on Wednesday; a 606 BTC ask wall at 80,826, eaten on Sunday.

Options positioning

The call wall moved from 90,000 to 80,000. The put wall moved from 82,000 to 80,000. The estimated gamma flip moved from 80,924 on Monday to 79,560 on Sunday, so price ended the week above it, in the zone where dealer hedging is estimated to dampen moves. Estimated dealer gamma at the price ended at 42 million dollars per 1 %.
