What is Gamma Exposure (GEX)?
Gamma Exposure represents the sensitivity of an option's delta to changes in the underlying price. Market makers hedge their gamma exposure, creating support/resistance at high GEX strikes.
Key Levels:
- Call Wall: Strike with highest positive GEX (resistance)
- Put Wall: Strike with the largest put GEX, shown as the deepest negative bar (support)
- Gamma Flip: Where total GEX changes from negative to positive
Positive GEX: Market makers sell into rallies, buy into dips (stabilizing).
Negative GEX: Market makers buy into rallies, sell into dips (amplifying moves).

Understanding NVAX gamma exposure
Novavax's options market is driven by regulatory and partnership milestones, which is typical for clinical-stage biotech but unusual for a company that has actually commercialized a product. Its gamma exposure builds around FDA decisions, licensing arrangements and manufacturing-commitment news, none of which follow a quarterly calendar - so positioning appears in expirations that look unremarkable on an earnings schedule.
The stock has been through reverse splits and substantial restructuring, so historical gamma comparisons are unreliable and only levels formed since the current share structure should be trusted. Implied volatility stays high because the outcomes genuinely are binary. Retail speculation concentrates in cheap short-dated calls, making the call wall a target during positive-news episodes, while the put wall reflects hedging against the funding and pipeline risks that have repeatedly materialized in this name.

NVAX GEX methodology and limitations
QuantWheel calculates NVAX GEX from the selected expirations, available options data and the formula displayed in the calculator. The result summarizes modeled gamma exposure by strike.
GEX is a model output, not observed dealer inventory or a price forecast. Open interest does not identify who owns an option, and the displayed call wall, put wall and gamma flip can change when the inputs or selected expirations change.
NVAX GEX FAQ
What is NVAX GEX?
NVAX GEX estimates gamma exposure across listed NVAX options using option gamma and open interest. It helps you compare how modeled exposure is distributed by strike and expiration. NVAX GEX does not reveal actual dealer positions or predict where NVAX will trade.
How do I read the NVAX call wall and put wall?
QuantWheel labels the NVAX call wall as the strike with the largest positive modeled GEX and the NVAX put wall as the strike with the largest negative modeled GEX in your selected data. Compare both with the NVAX price and expiration choices. They are reference levels, not guaranteed support or resistance.
What is the NVAX gamma flip?
The NVAX gamma flip is the price where modeled net gamma crosses zero for the selected NVAX options data. Compare it with the current price and the shape of the strike chart. The NVAX gamma flip is a model output, not a trading signal.
Which expirations should I use for NVAX GEX?
Start with the nearest NVAX expiration to study short-dated positioning, then add later expirations to compare a broader part of the options chain. Each selection changes which NVAX contracts are included, so compare one expiration with a combined view before drawing conclusions.
Is the NVAX GEX calculator free?
Yes. You can run up to three free NVAX GEX calculations per day on the public tool. After using those calculations, continue for free in the GEX Sandbox. Check the current QuantWheel pricing page for plan access details.
