What is Gamma Exposure (GEX)?
Gamma Exposure represents the sensitivity of an option's delta to changes in the underlying price. Market makers hedge their gamma exposure, creating support/resistance at high GEX strikes.
Key Levels:
- Call Wall: Strike with highest positive GEX (resistance)
- Put Wall: Strike with the largest put GEX, shown as the deepest negative bar (support)
- Gamma Flip: Where total GEX changes from negative to positive
Positive GEX: Market makers sell into rallies, buy into dips (stabilizing).
Negative GEX: Market makers buy into rallies, sell into dips (amplifying moves).

Understanding UVXY gamma exposure
UVXY holds leveraged short-term VIX futures, which gives traders a long-volatility fund with a standard equity options chain. Its gamma exposure reads differently from a stock's. The fund usually loses value in calm markets because of futures roll costs and daily leveraged decay, then rises sharply during volatility spikes. Options positioning reflects that asymmetry, with call open interest bought as crash insurance and put open interest sold to harvest the structural decay.

UVXY GEX methodology and limitations
QuantWheel calculates UVXY GEX from the selected expirations, available options data and the formula displayed in the calculator. The result summarizes modeled gamma exposure by strike.
GEX is a model output, not observed dealer inventory or a price forecast. Open interest does not identify who owns an option, and the displayed call wall, put wall and gamma flip can change when the inputs or selected expirations change.
UVXY GEX FAQ
What is UVXY GEX?
UVXY GEX estimates gamma exposure across listed UVXY options using option gamma and open interest. It helps you compare how modeled exposure is distributed by strike and expiration. UVXY GEX does not reveal actual dealer positions or predict where UVXY will trade.
How do I read the UVXY call wall and put wall?
QuantWheel labels the UVXY call wall as the strike with the largest positive modeled GEX and the UVXY put wall as the strike with the largest negative modeled GEX in your selected data. Compare both with the UVXY price and expiration choices. They are reference levels, not guaranteed support or resistance.
What is the UVXY gamma flip?
The UVXY gamma flip is the price where modeled net gamma crosses zero for the selected UVXY options data. Compare it with the current price and the shape of the strike chart. The UVXY gamma flip is a model output, not a trading signal.
Which expirations should I use for UVXY GEX?
Start with the nearest UVXY expiration to study short-dated positioning, then add later expirations to compare a broader part of the options chain. Each selection changes which UVXY contracts are included, so compare one expiration with a combined view before drawing conclusions.
Is the UVXY GEX calculator free?
Yes. You can run up to three free UVXY GEX calculations per day on the public tool. After using those calculations, continue for free in the GEX demo. Check the current QuantWheel pricing page for plan access details.
