Hedging Pressure for BTC and ETH
Hedging Pressure is the aggregate pressure from market-maker delta hedging. Positive (Sticky) dampens price moves; negative (Jumpy) amplifies them.
What is Hedging Pressure
Hedging Pressure shows the combined effect of market-maker delta hedging: which way, and how strongly, their hedging trades push on BTC price.
A positive value (Sticky regime) means hedges dampen swings — the market is "sticky" and prone to ranging. Negative (Jumpy) means hedges amplify moves — the market is "jumpy" and prone to impulses.
How to use the indicator
Hedging Pressure complements GEX and the Gamma Flip: it signals the current volatility regime. In Sticky, mean-reversion fits better; in Jumpy, trend and breakout setups. In Crypto Metrics Pro the indicator is available on the GEX Terminal candlestick chart.
