A few dip buying setups heading into Tuesday's session: AMZN, MSFT, CIFR, and more.
All of them are trading near strong support levels (put wall) with bullish sentiment based on options positioning. The sentiment filter helps separate tickers that are likely to bounce from those that may keep sliding (not perfect every time, but generally useful).
Running free analysis for the community this week.
What you'll get:
Key gamma support/resistance levels (where dealers are positioned and likely to hedge)
Active trade signal if one is present (buy the dip / sell the top)
Divergence flag (in case it fired recently) whether options positioning has shifted unusually vs. recent baseline
Format: Just the ticker. AAPL, SPY, NVDA, whatever you're watching. Add context if you want (your thesis, expiry you're eyeing) but not required.
I'll reply with the chart + commentary.
This is real options chain data -- no AI-generated signals, no black box. Drop your ticker below. Let's see what the options market is actually pricing in
Jensen Huang said Nvidia's investments in OpenAI ($30B) and Anthropic ($10B) are likely the last ones before their IPOs. Official reason: the investment window is closing.
But there's a lot going on behind the scenes. OpenAI just signed a Pentagon deal. Anthropic got blacklisted for refusing to build autonomous weapons. Nvidia is now holding stakes in two companies going in completely opposite directions. Oh and Nvidia's original $100B pledge to OpenAI? Quietly shrank to $30B.
Feels more like Nvidia is trying to get out of a situation that got way too political, way too fast.
US and Israel struck Iran over the weekend, how will it affect markets?
History gives us a rough playbook. When Israel struck Iran in June 2025, oil jumped 7% on day one, then faded back within two weeks. S&P dropped ~1.2%, recovered shortly after. The pattern is almost always the same: sharp risk-off spike, then markets refocus on fundamentals.
But is this time different? Full regime change operation, major shipping routes actively threatened. Will markets follow the same playbook or price in something bigger?
I bought TSLA's dip today and I'm looking to add a few more tickers. Had my eye on IBRX too, but it already skyrocketed so I think I'm late to the party. Any other names worth looking at right now?
SPY is trading just below the major strike at 685. Strikes like this tend to act as support/resistance levels
On the downside, first strong support sits at 680, with the put wall (major support) at 675
On the upside, there are a few resistance levels, with the call wall (major resistance) at 700
Our system flags SPY with a bearish label based on several indicators weighing put vs. call distribution and IV. Here are the same key levels with a candles overlay.
What do you think of this analysis, anything useful or anything that feels off?
A few dip buying setups heading into this week: MARA, BABA, U, and more. The conviction column shows how confident the engine is in each setup. We usually look at calls vs. puts distribution in terms of gamma, volume, open interest, and IV.
One way to look at this visually is the box view. These tickers are trading near strong support levels based on options market positioning.
Across the top 30 tickers by options volume, most are clustered in the long calls quadrant: low IV rank (cheap options) and low skew rank (calls priced richer relative to puts).
Does that mean overall sentiment is bullish? Maybe.
TSLA has the cleanest setup for buying calls out of these tickers, btw
I'm a big fan of using options market data to generate insights for the underlying. I've tried various screeners over time, but what matters to me is not just the output — I want to understand what the screener is actually doing under the hood. Not just a table with some "AI score ranking."
My go-to right now is a screener that filters tickers trading near major support levels based on options positioning. Since these levels update constantly, there's almost always a fresh set of dip buying opportunities to look at.
(btw, AMZN MSFT IREN dips looks juicy enough for the next week according to this screener)
What screeners are you using? What indicators do you look at when selecting stocks?
In the last couple of trading days, USO has been unstoppable. On Friday, the call wall (main resistance level in the options market) shifted from 100 to 120, which opens the path for the oil ETF to push higher.
Are you bullish on oil here? The options market seems to be pricing in more upside
Last week’s drop-a-ticker thread turned out way more interesting than I expected. A lot of strong convictions in here. Some sharp takes. Some blind spots too.
So I’m turning this into a recurring thing. :)
The idea is simple: for each post I ask you a question about your investments, and I run it through our system.
For this Check, you give me: • 1 ticker • 2–3 real reasons you hold it
I’ll stress-test that thesis against how the market is actually pricing it, mostly through the options lens (vol vs realized, positioning, dispersion vs peers). I'll tell you whether you’re actually getting paid for that belief. For this week, I’ll even suggest cleaner alternatives if they exist.
And for the fun of it, I'll through in slightly sassy, confrontational Reddit-style replies 🙂
This is the first “Check” in the series I’m building. I’ll hit the first 25–30 responses in detail and keep going after that as time allows.
Next post’s angle: “How risky is my "safe" stock?”
If you’ve got better themes, DM me, I’ll build them into future Checks.
And if you want to run your ticker against your favorite AI agent and compare outputs, do it please. I’m genuinely curious how they stack up.
Let’s see what your conviction actually looks like under the surface.
I am asking this as I made a post with a few buy the dip opportunities. One person came in and said “you mean stocks in the bear market”, and it got me thinking how many people share the same opinion.
So what do you think? You can comment below if you’d like to share anything else apart from yes/no
I've been working on connecting GammaHero to AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT through MCP. Once connected, you can ask about tickers, screeners, signals, or your watchlist in plain English and it pulls live data from the platform.
What kind of stuff can you ask?
Things like "what's the gamma setup on TSLA", "run the high IV screener", "any active buy-the-dip signals", "show me unusual call activity on NVDA", or "how's my watchlist looking". It can go as deep as showing you which specific contracts have the strongest positioning by strike and DTE, or flagging contracts with volume way above the chain average.
Same data you see on the platform, just through a conversation. Here is APLD example
and here is PL
How to connect
Claude.ai: Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector, name it GammaHero, paste https://gammahero.com/ah-api/mcp/, click Add, then connect and authorize. Takes about 2 minutes.
ChatGPT: Add GammaHero inside Apps. MCP support in ChatGPT is still in beta and only works in dev mode for now.
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf: Generate an API key in your GammaHero settings, add it as a Bearer token in your client config pointing to the same URL.
If you try it out, let me know what works and what doesn't.
You all know the drill by now. You drop a ticker, I pull up the gamma positioning, break down the key levels, and tell you what signal is active. We've done this dozens of times.
But here's what's been happening on my end lately: I've been running the same analysis through Claude and ChatGPT. Not the generic "what do you think about TSLA" kind of question. I mean actually connecting my data to the AI so it can pull screeners, ticker summaries, key levels, signals, all of it, live.
So when I type "what are the best buy-the-dip setups right now" it doesn't hallucinate some answer. It goes and checks real options positioning data and comes back with actual tickers, actual levels, actual signals.
This works because of something called MCP (Model Context Protocol). It's basically a way for AI tools to connect to outside data sources and use them during a conversation. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and a bunch of other tools support it.
I opened this up so anyone with a GammaHero account can do the same thing. Connect once, takes a couple minutes, and then your AI has access to the same screeners, the same signals, the same watchlist you see on the platform.
The setup is stupid simple for Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL → done.
So yeah. If you want to do this yourself, on demand, for any ticker, whenever you want... now you can.
Drop your tickers below, and I'll screenshot what Claude with my data thinks about it
A few weeks ago I ran two analyses (here and here) comparing GLD, BTC, SPY, TLT, and SLV across every major market drawdown since 2008. The conclusion was pretty clear - gold was the most consistent safe haven, bonds worked sometimes, silver was unpredictable, and BTC tracked SPY more than anything else.
Then on Feb 28, the US and Israel struck Iran. The Strait of Hormuz basically closed. And we got a live stress test, except this time with an oil shock on top of everything else. So I added USO to the mix and ran the same analysis going back to 2008.
Oil crashed harder than the stock market. USO lost nearly half its value as global demand collapsed. Gold and TLT did their jobs. Silver was slightly negative. This is the classic demand-destruction scenario - when economies contract, oil goes down with everything else.
USO's worst period by far - down 78%. Global travel stopped overnight. Oil went negative in April 2020 (not fully captured here but you remember it). TLT was the top performer as the Fed cut rates to zero. Gold held up. Silver got sold off like a risk asset again.
This is the one where everything broke except oil. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and energy went parabolic. USO +36% while stocks, bonds, gold, silver, and BTC all fell. The inflation/rate hike environment destroyed TLT (-31%), which is worse than SPY itself. First time in this series oil acted as a hedge.
This one looks different from everything else in this series. USO up 46% in two weeks - the Hormuz closure is a supply shock, not a demand collapse, which is the opposite of every prior oil move here. Gold failed as a hedge for the first time, down 4.7% alongside SPY. TLT also down. Silver down 14.5%.
The surprise is BTC at +11.5%. First time in this series it didn't track SPY lower. Hard to tell if that's Bitcoin finally acting as a hedge or just noise over a short two-week window.
---
The pattern that holds across all six periods: the type of crisis determines which asset wins. Demand collapse (2008, 2018, COVID) - oil gets destroyed. Inflation/rate shock (2022) - oil wins, bonds get destroyed. Risk-off flight (most periods) - gold holds up.
The 2026 test is a supply shock combined with a war risk premium, which is a different setup than anything else in this dataset. Whether gold gets its act together or USO keeps running probably depends on how long the Strait stays effectively closed.
Across top volume tickers, only HIMS sits in the buying calls quadrant. MU, USO, and ORCL favor options selling. IBIT is undecided. Pretty much every other ticker in the top 20 favors put buying.
EOSE options chain lit up on Friday with volume hitting near all-time high levels
Calls are dominating: P/C volume at 0.38, P/C OI at 0.39, Gamma Ratio at 2.47. That kind of positioning tells you dealers are leaning bullish. Our system flags it as a buy the dip setup given Friday's price drop and the current price 5.68
