Where the walls are, where price sits, and what the dealer positioning implies for Cisco

In Between Walls?

$90

DOM

$95

2ND

$99.29

Outside the dominant wall range — directional momentum more likely than mean reversion.

Magnet Strength Details →

2.25× Very High (>2×)

Current OI 113,931

30d Avg OI 50,597

Elevated OI — dealers carry larger hedges, making price walls structurally stronger.

Put/Call Ratio

0.40

CALL HEAVY

Below 0.8 — call OI dominates. Bullish positioning; dealers are short calls and will sell delta into rallies.

Dominant Wall

$90

▼ Below spot

The highest OI concentration strike — the structural anchor dealers are most committed to hedging.

Distance to #1 Wall

$+9.29

+9.36%

Price is above the dominant wall — acts as support.

Wall Skew

+0.348

CALL HEAVY

Call-heavy at the dominant wall — call sellers cap rallies toward it. Acts as resistance.

Today's Top Setup — CSCO

SQUEEZE, PIN, and CAGE scored 0–100 from OI structure. Highest score = today's highest-conviction setup.

PIN — 53.7% hit rate (n=1,719). CAGE — 45.4% (n=1,161). SQUEEZE — 49.5% (n=5,555). Half hit, half don't — the edge is asymmetric payoff.

Dealer Magnet Strength

When total OI is elevated vs its 30-day rolling average, dealer hedging is heavier — walls act like magnets. Very High = stronger PIN / CAGE conviction. Near-normal = weaker structural hold.
