π 2. Market Gamma (GEX) Analytical Mapping β June Series
The proximity of the expiration of the June options series drastically increases the tail risk and the sensitivity of Market Makers. With the Ibovespa orbiting the 169k - 170k range, the derivatives ecosystem is in a critical Gamma transition zone.
π Structural GEX Overview (IBOV & Main Assets)
Mathematical wrap of the classic Market Gamma model:
Where the market aggregate points to a Net GEX of -R$ 2.41 billion (Active Short Gamma Regime).

[Extreme Negative GEX] [Pivot Point] [Stability Zones]
π¨ 1. Market Regime: Short Gamma (Negative GEX)
The market consolidated below the Gamma Flip Point (located at 171,500 points). In a Short Gamma regime, volatility is intrinsically amplified: when the market falls, Market Makers are forced to sell the underlying asset in the spot market to maintain delta-neutrality, accelerating the drops; when the market rises, they buy, accelerating the rebounds.
π― 2. Open Interest Concentration (Friction Zones)
- Gamma Support Zones (Put Wall): Massive concentration of open Put Options at the 165,000 points line. If the Ibovespa lost Friday's low (169,019 points), there would be an acceleration trigger (Cascading Delta Hedging) directly targeting 165k.
- Gamma Resistance Zones (Call Roof): Severe blockage of institutional short positions in Call Options at the 172,500 and 175,000 points lines. This region will act as a retention magnet or a strong technical barrier in the coming sessions.
π Skew and GEX Breakdown by Leading Assets
A. VALE3 (Ref Price: R$ 62.40)
- Total GEX: +R$ 380 million (Dominant Long Gamma).
- Positioning Analysis: Institutional investors built a strong defensive base in Bull Call Spreads and volatility selling in Out-of-the-Money (OTM) Puts. The volatility Skew is tilted towards the Calls side, indicating that the market anticipates protection or a rebound in commodity flows. Liquidity attraction zones at R$ 64.00.
B. PETR4 (Ref Price: R$ 38.10)
- Total GEX: -R$ 720 million (Accentuated Short Gamma).
- Positioning Analysis: Highly unstable scenario due to international geopolitical premiums. There is a massive accumulation of covered sold Puts at the R$ 36.50 line. If the asset tests this strike, the Delta Bleed of Market Makers will force aggressive mechanical sales in the spot market. The IV Skew displays a verticalized defensive tilt towards the Puts side.
C. ITUB4 (Ref Price: R$ 33.50)
- Total GEX: -R$ 190 million (Neutral to Short Gamma).
- Positioning Analysis: Compression at the R$ 34.00 line (Strike with the highest concentration of Call Open Interest). The asset should fluctuate in a "Pinning" behavior near this price until the eve of expiration, minimizing premium payouts by bank treasuries.
π οΈ 3. Structural Recommendations and Portfolio Management
- Capitalize on the Rebound with Volatility Selling: As the macro regime points to restrictive Selic at 14% and resilient inflation on the 2026 horizon, graphic stress peaks should be exploited to set up cash flow structures (e.g., Jade Lizards or short Iron Condors) collecting premiums inflated by current implied volatility.
- Defend the 169k Pivot: Directional long structures must keep short stops below 169,000 points on the spot index, given the risk of a mechanical Delta Squeeze generated by the accumulated negative GEX below this line.
