High-Stakes One-Day Options Could Weaken the Market’s Runway
TL;DR
A surge in stock-linked options—especially one-day 0DTE calls—has helped propel the April rally via delta-hedging that requires dealers to buy futures, potentially creating a self-reinforcing bid. But April’s options expiry cleared much of that upside and SpotGamma says hedging is now neutral to negative, implying dealers may need to sell futures and a sharp reversal could follow, even as the rally remains intact.
