Palantir Reversal at Call Wall Delivers 10:1 Intraday Trade Using SpotGamma Options Flow

When stocks approach SpotGamma key levels, the shift in options flow can create high-probability reversal setups. Palantir (PLTR) provided a textbook example, as price rallied into a known resistance zone before options activity signaled exhaustion.

After gapping higher, PLTR pushed toward the $185 Call Wall (a level identified by SpotGamma as both a low volatility point and key resistance). As traders stopped buying calls and began selling calls and buying puts, the HIRO Indicator confirmed a shift in positioning.

This transition in flow, combined with the rejection at a critical level, created a clean short setup delivering up to a 10:1 reward-to-risk intraday trade.
