| COT Bias | Dealer Gamma Regime | Confluence Classification | Market Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| BULLISH | ABOVE FLIP (Long Gamma) | ALIGNED BULLISH | Institutional flow and dealer hedging both support upside continuation with dampened downside volatility. |
| BEARISH | BELOW FLIP (Short Gamma) | ALIGNED BEARISH | Institutional selling and dealer short-gamma hedging both reinforce downside pressure and volatility acceleration. |
| BULLISH | BELOW FLIP (Short Gamma) | DIVERGING (Bullish COT / Bearish Gamma) | Smart money accumulating while dealer hedging remains in a volatile, trend-accelerating regime. Coiled condition. |
| BEARISH | ABOVE FLIP (Long Gamma) | DIVERGING (Bearish COT / Bullish Gamma) | Institutional flow is bearish while dealer long-gamma hedging dampens price swings. Watch for resolution. |
| NEUTRAL | ANY REGIME | MIXED / NO CLEAR CONFLUENCE | COT positioning shows no clear directional bias; confluence read is inconclusive for the week. |
