The gamma flip is the price level of an underlying asset at which the aggregate gamma exposure of options market makers transitions from positive to negative (or vice versa). Above the gamma flip level, market makers are typically long gamma and act as a stabilising force — selling into strength and buying into weakness — which dampens volatility. Below the gamma flip level, market makers are typically short gamma and must hedge in the direction of price movement, which can amplify volatility and accelerate price moves. For Nifty 50 traders in India, the gamma flip level acts as a critical technical reference — a break below the gamma flip is often associated with increased volatility and sharper downward moves, while sustained trading above it tends to correspond with lower realised volatility and more orderly price action.
