Dealer Positioning / Heatmaps Class
LESSON 05: AIR POCKETS & VELOCITY
Have you ever watched $SPX have a hard time moving just 5 points and suddenly jump 30 points in a minute or two?
With no clear support or real resistance.
Just a fast move through what seems like empty air.
One of the biggest oversights in heatmap trading is what happens BETWEEN the major nodes.
Let's dive in 👇
Also LMK if these are helpful so we keep doing them.

15/ THE BIGGEST LESSON FROM THIS WEEK.
We’ve already touched upon:
• Dealer location and Gamma.
• Pika and Barney nodes.
• King Node.
• Floors, Ceilings & Gatekeepers.
• Air pockets and Velocity.
However, here is the most important thing that I would like you to remember.
None of the aforementioned things are independent trading signals.
They are just different parts of one puzzle and the only skill you need to develop is how to see the whole picture when price changes.
Remember you will never miss a lucky day filled with your favorite set ups if you show up everyday.
16/ LET'S TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
It's 8:15 AM PT.
SPX is trading at 7720.
The Heatseeker map shows:
- Strong structural floor at 7700.
- A Gatekeeper at 7725.
- Relatively little GEX between 7725 and 7760.
- Predominantly negative dealer gamma.
- The 7725 Gatekeeper is rapidly weakening.
- SPY is developing higher support.
- QQQ remains neutral.
- SPX breaks above 7725.
What's the strongest interpretation?
A) Buy calls immediately because the air pocket guarantees upside.
B) The move is invalid because QQQ isn't bullish.
C) Conditions support a potential upside acceleration scenario, but price acceptance, evolving exposure, and risk management still matter.
D) The weakening Gatekeeper means SPX must reverse toward 7700.
