The gamma map at 4:47 pm (capture 1)

This module rereads eight captures taken between 4:47 pm and 5:13 pm on December ES. During those 26 minutes, the market rises from 7,604 to 7,616.75. To understand that move, you have to read two things together: market makers' options positioning, on Deepchart, and the battle between orders in the book, on DeepDom. The first capture shows the playing field: a market at 7,604, between a very negative strike just below (7,600, −$1.44B) and rather positive strikes above. It is the map to keep in mind before looking at the book.
