📈 If market makers are heavily short calls (especially around $185C and up), and the stock grinds higher into those strikes, that’s exactly what creates gamma squeeze pressure. Here's what’s happening behind the scenes:

===== 🧩 Why This Is Good for Bulls (If You Want the Stock to Be Forced Higher): =====
# Market makers sold calls → now they’re short delta. → They have to hedge by buying shares as NVDA gets closer to $185+.
# Rising stock = rising gamma exposure. → The closer NVDA gets to that big $185C cluster, the more shares market makers must buy to stay delta-neutral. This creates a feedback loop upward.
# High IV means premium was rich → MMs are fighting to keep price under. → But if bulls push price up anyway, MMs scramble to hedge = fuel added to the rally.
# If NVDA closes above $185 (especially if it sticks through 12pm or power hour), → A call wall breach forces unwinding, and that’s when major upside pressure kicks in.

===== 🧠 TL;DR: =====

If bulls can pin or break through $185+, market makers become buyers, not sellers.
That forces NVDA up, not down.
So yes — if you’re long, you want the MMs short these calls.

Let’s watch how they handle that 12PM drop — if price doesn’t die there and IV holds firm or compresses while price rises, we got a real fight.
