Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.
A plain-language pass at dealer short-gamma dynamics after witching.
When dealers are short gamma, hedges buy strength and sell weakness — amplifying moves. Post-witching, some of that cushion reconstitutes slowly. That is why breakouts through widely watched strikes can feel mechanical.
For squeeze hunters: acceleration is a flow clue, not proof of a short-covering cascade. Still check SI%, fee, and utilization.
