GDX closed with dealers short gamma on 16 of the last 60 sessions. In short gamma, dealer hedging buys rallies and sells drops, which tends to extend moves; in long gamma it leans against them.

Positive (green) strikes are where dealers are long gamma and hedge against the move; negative (pink) strikes are where they are short and hedge with it. These are closing levels: where hedging was concentrated last night, not targets.
