How Day Traders Are Using the Russell 2000 Gamma Flip Signal
Season 2
Episode 52
Published 2 months ago
Description
The Russell 2000 surged 3.1% over the last five days while the VIX dropped 15.8% — a classic setup for a gamma flip. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down what a gamma flip actually means for short-term traders, using the Russell 2000's recent price action as a case study. They explain how concentrated dealer hedging can turn a slow index into a momentum machine, how to spot the flip on a five-minute chart, and why the June 2026 expiry cycle is amplifying the move. If you trade small-cap stocks or index futures, this episode gives you a concrete signal to watch for the next time the market flips from short to long gamma.
