COIN gamma exposure levels
Coinbase is the market's cleanest crypto proxy, and its options gamma swings with Bitcoin. Its walls can pin the stock in quiet crypto tape and give way violently when Bitcoin moves.
This page explains how to read COIN's gamma structure. It shows no live numbers — the live map lives in the indicator. Educational context only, not a signal.
Why COIN's gamma matters.
COIN's dealer gamma is highly reactive because the stock inherits crypto's volatility, so its call and put walls mark the zones where hedging either holds or accelerates. Below its gamma flip, COIN's moves amplify fast — reading it alongside Bitcoin shows when the stock is leading or following.
The COIN levels that matter.
Every gamma map is built from a few dealer-positioning levels. On COIN they read like this.
The ceiling
The strike with the heaviest call gamma above spot. Dealers hedge hard there, so it often caps rallies until it breaks.
The floor
The strike with the heaviest put gamma below spot. It often supports dips while dealer hedging holds.
The regime line
Where net dealer gamma crosses zero. Above it hedging dampens moves; below it hedging amplifies them.
Zero-gamma level
The price where dealers flip from long to short gamma — near the flip, it marks where volatility can pick up.
Expiry gravity
The strike that minimises total option-holder payout at expiry — a reference into monthly expiration.
Concentration
The high-concentration strikes between the walls where hedging clusters and price often reacts.
How to read them.
Start with the gamma flip: it tells you which regime COIN is in. When price is accepted above it, dealers are usually long gamma and the tape dampens — tighter ranges, rotation around the levels. When price is below it, dealers lean short gamma and moves amplify — faster, trend-prone sessions. Then read the call wall above and put wall below as the edges dealers hedge hardest.
The levels are a snapshot of positioning, so they go stale as the chain changes through the day — the indicator refreshes them each session. And they are context on how COIN is likely to behave, never an instruction to trade. To learn the mechanics, read how to read dealer positioning and what gamma exposure is.
COIN gamma — questions traders ask.
Does Coinbase gamma track Bitcoin?
Largely — COIN is a crypto proxy, so its dealer gamma reacts to Bitcoin's moves. Its walls and gamma flip are context on how the stock is likely to behave given the crypto tape, not a signal.
Is this a buy or sell signal?
No. Gamma-exposure levels describe where option dealers hold concentrated hedging pressure — they are context on how a session is likely to behave, not a recommendation to buy or sell and not a prediction of direction. Educational and informational only; trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Where do the live levels come from?
The GEX Levels indicator computes them from the live options chain and draws them on your chart — call wall, put wall, gamma flip, vol trigger and more, refreshed each session. This page explains the concept; the live map lives in the indicator.

The concept is free to read. The live COIN levels — call wall, put wall, gamma flip, the regime and more, refreshed every session — are built into the GEX Levels indicator. The free Morning Map shows the prior session's index levels each day.
