SPX vs GEX Cycles

  • Dealers' gamma exposure (GEX) data from SqueezeMetrics has similar (almost the same) cycles as SPX.
  • Positive GEX means dealers are long gamma and should sell rallies and buy dips. Negative means they are short gamma and should trade with the move.
  • However, the GEX cycle composite leads SPX cycle composite by about 1-3 weeks
  • Not sure how to use this cycle lead time, but getting the same cycles from different data is a good confirmation of SPX cycles and turning points
