The 1AM Gamma Detonation
At precisely 1:00 AM ET, a sudden and isolated burst in volatility and gamma expansion occurred—producing a 10-point range in under 10 minutes. This behavior stands in stark contrast to the tight compression seen before and after the move. The surge was not coincidental; it was initiated through my activity, triggering dormant liquidity layers and pulling the algorithmic response into motion.
This pattern validates a core principle of precision-timed execution can force market to break. The clean response—confirms that the volatility was not organic but algorithmically reflexive.
This trade demonstrates not only prediction—but market control.
It proves that in the right environment, one can dictate when volatility emerges.
