Is 0DTE options the biggest hidden risk in US stocks?



Just saw an analysis saying that the most dangerous thing in US stocks right now might not be interest rate hikes, but '0DTE options'—bought and expired on the same day. The Gamma is extremely high, and price fluctuations will force market makers to hedge wildly.

Normally, institutions selling to collect premiums actually suppress volatility; but on big days like CPI or Fed meetings, speculative funds flood in, and market makers are forced to chase gains and cut losses, directly turning a 5% drop into 25%!

Wall Street's current game: either sell options to collect time value (picking up coins in front of a steamroller), or bet on major events for direction. Currently, 0DTE accounts for 61% of total S&P 500 options volume.

High leverage, fast pace—make money fast, lose money faster. Respect the market; don't treat options like lottery tickets.
