The level

A support zone is a price below the market where a large amount of options positioning sits. The idea is that this positioning can slow a move down there, so the test is simple: does the stock close above it? When it was posted at 07:17 ET, KMX traded at 59.4, 3.3% above the support zone. On the same map, the next level above was 65 and the next level below was 55. See the original post.

Price traded through the support zone during the session (first 5-minute close on the wrong side at 4 PM ET), with a low of 52.61 and a high of 62.17. In the last hour price moved down 7.30, from 59.91 to 52.61.
