Dealer gamma as public infrastructure

The market increasingly behaves as though dealer gamma as public infrastructure is a layer of public infrastructure: invisible most of the time, decisive when the system is under pressure. The intent of this thread is to sharpen the argument rather than treat it as a slogan.

The important object is not the next tick. It is the structure that makes some paths easier to travel than others.

The dealer inventory point is essential. It explains why the index can feel calmer than the underlying dispersion suggests.

I would add that the public-market framing changes when the hedging horizon compresses into the weekly cycle.

Quoted from the opening note: ‘treat positioning as infrastructure, not sentiment.’ That is the useful distinction.
