As of the latest session, VST is trading at $149.84 (+4.92% on the day). Net dealer gamma is positive, with the zero-gamma flip near 163.71. The call wall sits at 165 (upside magnet / resistance) and the put wall at 152.5 (downside level). Max pain is 152.5, and the options market is pricing a 1-sigma expected move of about ±1.8% (ATM IV 48%).
VST is in positive gamma. Dealers are net long gamma — they sell strength and buy weakness, which compresses volatility and pulls price toward the big strikes. Expect a grindy, mean-reverting tape that wants to pin near 152.5. The edge is fading the extremes of the 152.5–165 band — until 163.71 gives way to the downside.

VST is currently in positive gamma, with the zero-gamma flip near 163.71. Positive gamma means dealers dampen moves — a calmer, mean-reverting, pin-toward-the-strikes tape.
VST's zero-gamma flip is around 163.71 — the price where net dealer gamma crosses zero. Above it the tape tends to be positive-gamma (suppressed, range-bound); below it, negative-gamma (amplified, trending). Reclaiming or losing the flip is the single most important level on the map.
VST's call wall (165) is a magnet and resistance; the put wall (152.5) is support in positive gamma but a through-level once price is below the flip.
VST's max pain is 152.5 — the strike where the most options expire worthless. In a positive-gamma tape, price often gets drawn toward max pain into expiration.
Gamma exposure is a map of where option dealers are forced to hedge. Positive GEX = dealers sell strength / buy weakness (suppresses volatility, pins price). Negative GEX = dealers chase the move (amplifies volatility, trends). It tells you the character of the tape, not the direction. Full GEX guide →
