GME FIRE: triple Core + F5 amplification, dealers short gamma at 12th pctile, cascade through 25 call wall
GME is a retail-driven meme stock (GameStop Corp) with extremely high retail options participation; negative dealer GEX at the 12th percentile with a put gamma trampoline at 23.5 and concentrated call OI cascade at 25 creates a loaded reflexive feedback loop in a Reflation regime. IV rank is 12.3 with IV30d at 49.5% vs HV20d of 22.2%, meaning vol is elevated but not extreme by GME standards. Price reclaimed 10d MA at 24.39 vs MA of 23.99, triggering F9 (weak — price reclaim only, no HV expansion). The gex_flip_strike is null, which reduces target precision and requires a conviction haircut. This is a high-confidence retail name where the dealer-sells assumption is among the most reliable in the market.
Peak call OI at 25.0 is the cascade trigger — target 25 strike calls in the Apr 2-17 window. With spot at 23.53 and the 25 strike 6.2% OTM, a move through 24.5-25.0 forces dealer delta-hedging into the cascade. F3 asy...
Entry: Enter on any pullback toward the 23.5 put wall or on sustained hold above 24.0 MA reclaim. Prefer entry when IV30d is below 55% (currently 49.5%). Do not chase above 25.0.
Risk: Null gex_flip_strike means no defined squeeze ceiling — cannot estimate max range. GME vol can spike to 100%+ intraday, making premium ex...
Lottery ticket at the 27-28 strike in 35-49 DTE. If the cascade fires and extends past 25, the 24.5 and 25.5 secondary call OI clusters (15k and 8.9k weighted OI) create a stacking effect. The 27+ zone is speculative...
Entry: Only after the primary 25-strike long_call is established. This is a convexity overlay, not a primary position. Enter only if price is above 24.0 and momentum is accelerating.
Risk: High probability of total loss. This is a tail-risk lottery play. Size at 0.3-0.5% of portfolio max. No defined squeeze ceiling makes thi...

Use GME as a pre-earnings squeeze candidate, but express it with a 2026-04-17 long call and a hard plan to exit before the 2026-03-31 earnings event.
- GME v2 flag row is FIRE with squeeze_score 69 in Goldilocks.
- Persistent F1/F2/F3/F5/F9 indicate short-gamma conditions, a put wall near 24, heavy call OI above spot, squeeze pressure, and a live reversal trigger.
- Charts suggest a constructive grind/reclaim rather than immediate ignition, which supports using more time than the 3/27 expiry.
