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

$XLU is in a long-gamma tape at heat 32, where dealers damp moves and hold lines tight. The $46 call is pinned through the last 10 sessions while the $45 put wall remains untested yesterday, so the range stays intact around these levels.
