RTYNEGATIVE
RTY's native and IWM-projected rails disagree on 0DTE gamma sign and both 0DTE Gamma Neutral reads are ambiguous (multiRoot), leaving no clean structural edge; price is consolidating in a smaller balance below the larger multiday value area after this week's breakdown, and today resolves either as continuation (through 2933/2901) or a reclaim back toward 3000 (through 2996/3013).
RTY's own two rails disagree on 0DTE gamma sign (native -$197.6M vs IWM +$107.2M) and both 0DTE Gamma Neutral levels are multiRoot/ambiguous, so there is no clean structural edge at the open; trade the smaller post-breakdown balance (RTY 2933-2996) as the operative range and react to a volume-confirmed break of either edge rather than anticipating one.

Dealer directional forces · next sessionNative RUTW 0DTE book decisively negative/accelerant, 84% coverage; IWM's own 0DTE book reads positive — genuine cross-rail sign conflict. Both rails agree negative beyond 0DTE (1DTE, 6DTE).
Thin near spot; the largest vanna structures in the book (antimagnet -4,680 at RTY 3013, magnets +6,183/+6,378 well below at RTY 2933/2908) sit outside the immediate pivot zone, so no dominant nearby force is pinning price.
Built steadily positive most of the session (45K to 72K) then dropped sharply to ~10.5K at the most recent chain refresh (coverage-corroborated) — decay pressure has meaningfully eased in the last 40 minutes.
Small and positive, thin-coverage signal, directionally stable through the recent refresh.
Modest vol-of-vol exposure, in line with today's front-weekly VIX pin.

Cautions
Quality-aware language- Component zones rely on static/proxy weights rather than holdings-confirmed weights and stay secondary to native futures levels.
- At least one component projection defaulted beta to 1.0, so component-zone placement is approximate.
- Source coverage was degraded by quote gaps or pagination truncation, so missing confirmations are not a signal by themselves.
- One or more component zones were built from a small contributor set and should be treated as provisional only.
- MCP-native individual stock Greek scans are unavailable. If component zones are attached, they come from the system-level Polygon overlay path and remain secondary/provisional to native index and MCP levels.
