This is a standard net gamma curve, using basic assumptions that options liquidity providers are short put options and long calls. In particular it can be used as a map which allows traders to quickly estimate where large put and call positions are located in the market.
Standard gamma curves are based on a set of simple assumptions intended to describe how options dealers are positioned in the market. The size of these positions have been statistically linked to future or forward volatility.
These curves are a small fraction of what SpotGamma monitors to gain an understanding of the options impact on stocks.
