Normies think gamma exposure is just Greek salad for quants. Smart traders know it's the hidden puppet master of crypto volatility. Here's why: 🧵 1/ Dealers hedging short gamma = forced to buy high, sell low. This amplifies moves near strikes. See: BTC pinning at max pain before expiry. 2/ Vanna flows (delta from vol changes) create feedback loops. IV spikes? Dealers dump spot to rebalance. Thin books = liquidation cascades. 3/ Real edge? Track dealer positioning via skew + OI. When puts are stacked, dealers are short gamma → expect violent reversals. Want the map? Our tools flag these zones before the herd.
