Track how tested GEX levels are and predict bounce vs break probability
Every time price tests a key GEX level (King Node, Gatekeeper, or primary level), that level weakens slightly. Node freshness measures how many times a level has been tested and predicts whether it will bounce or break on the next approach.
| Touch Number | Typical Bounce Rate | Trading Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1st touch | 65-75% | High-conviction fade |
| 2nd touch | 55-65% | Fade with tighter stop |
| 3rd touch | 40-50% | Neutral — wait for confirmation |
| 4th+ touch | 30-40% | Trade the breakout |
Fresh nodes: Fade moves into these levels. Price is most likely to reverse. Use the bounce rate as your edge — a 70% bounce rate means 7 out of 10 approaches will reverse.
Exhausted nodes: Trade breakouts through these levels. Dealers have reduced their hedging. Once price breaks an exhausted node, expect follow-through as there is less gamma resistance.
