Dealer gamma exposure

What market makers are structurally likely to do about the current options positioning — not what already traded, but what dealers are on the hook to hedge as price moves. Positive GEX tends to dampen volatility (dealers sell rallies, buy dips); negative GEX tends to amplify it. Real strikes and greeks via Massive, computed on demand.
