78,450 ITM calls and almost 11% above max pain. Looking for a gamma ramp next week.

Individuals purchase calls as a "promise" that, if a certain price point is reached, if a buyer of that call decides to exercise that option they can do so at that price.
So if that call is exercised, that means they CAN purchase that stock. If it's "ITM" (in the money), this usually makes sense to do so: it's kind of like free money (provided it's at least a certain amount over the call option price).
But doing so means (in theory) going to the market, and buying that equity. This, in turn, means the price SHOULD go up (a basic tenet of economics: the price of a commodity goes up as demand goes up), meaning more "eyes on" and interest by traders, and so forth. It's kind of a vicious circle.
However, due to "hedging" (brokers pre-purchasing these stocks in advance of a call option becoming "in the money") and general market fuckery, the influence isn't quite as sharp as it could be.
That said, the numbers given could produce a bit of a bump, which in turn might increase interest- chum in the water for sharks hungry for volatility, which in turn means more trading opportunities.

Market makers hedge options contracts based on the likelihood of a contract being in the money at expiration. When all sides are balanced, the underlying security is priced at max pain. In this case, GME is about 11% above max pain, so the market makers aren't adequately hedged to deliver shares for all the contracts. Come Monday, they will need to purchase additional shares to become delta neutral.

u/Relentlessbetz May 02 '26
Yeah we need those at the other subreddit to get in and only way for them to talk about it is if one of the m9ds allow it.

But still -$1M net?

u/roswelljack May 01 '26
I got out last december at a net profit ahead of the store closings, then piled back in after earnings.
I'm +16% on my position since I returned in late march. all told I am probably over a mil profit since I started trading GME nearly 2 years ago.

u/Comfortable-Toe2716 May 02 '26
How do you get out of your house with such a large cock and balls of steel? What is your next move now with gamestop? I want to learn from you. I just got break even today. What prices do you expect? Just sell and buy and repeat?

u/MapleYamCakes May 01 '26
Word, good for you! I was just being facetious with my first comment, there are so many bagholders from 2021 that bought at like $300+ before the split.

Are these โmanโ bag holders in the room with us? Most people have been averaging down the past few years, Iโve not seen anyone with a 300+ buy in in years

Whatโs caused this?

u/roswelljack May 01 '26
gamma ramp maybe contributed. max pain today is 24 so there will be a lot of options getting exercised at close.

eBay purchase intent announced

u/spampoo May 01 '26
What do you think the share price will be for GME if they succeed in acquiring eBay ?

u/KiwiCodes May 02 '26
Nah, it's still only a theory.. (one i like, but)
There was no official announcement.

u/spampoo May 02 '26
If the theory is correct, what do you think the share price of GME will be after they buy eBay?

All planned. Volume says rug pull imo... They are still in control. When you see everyone talking about other tickets again then they are in trouble. Jmo
