Regime balanced · no clear edge from positioning.

Each wall is the strike carrying the heaviest open interest within 15% of price, call above as resistance, put below as support, pooled across all listed expirations. It is a structural positioning level, not a single expiry pin. Max pain is tracked separately.

The Read

$SMH is in a neutral regime at heat 43, which keeps moves steady and dealer positioning balanced. The $650 call wall has held 4 sessions running, while the $550 put remains untested yesterday; dealers are likely to defend these levels given their strong track record. Spot sits 4.7% below the $657.44 gamma flip, so any push higher could see further upside momentum.
