S5 · Absorption at the wall

Four setups where the trigger comes first from DeepDom, and where the gamma map says how far the move can go. Two are read on the captures of November 3, 2026, two are constructed examples, with fictional prices and real mechanics. The first is absorption: a burst of market orders hits a band of the heatmap, price barely moves, and the band grows instead of giving way.

The idea behind S5

Someone soaked up all the aggression. You side with the one who has size, after they have shown they hold. Absorption is the most profitable pattern in order flow because it shows a sizable player defending a price with passive orders, while aggressive traders get filled at the worst moment. On ES, where the book is thick, it is frequent and readable: a 200-lot burst that moves price only four points, a Book Speed that falls to zero because nobody is placing new orders, and a band that goes from 80 to 93 lots during the attack. Gamma then says how far the rejection can go.
