PURR Gamma Squeeze: The Setup That Could Send the Stock to a Massive Multiple of the Underlying

Summary
The author argues that PURR is set up for a high-probability gamma squeeze driven by dealer hedging, rising call skew, low float, and a passive flow catalyst from Russell index inclusion of Hyperliquid. This is his largest concentrated bet, and he continues to hold Oracle (ORCL) as a separate long, with calls up 366%.
  • PURR hit $13 on Hyperliquid DApp and call buying volume into Friday's close was the highest ever seen in the name, with call skew rising alongside price.
  • Gamma squeeze mechanics: dealers short calls forced to hedge by buying underlying, and new strikes listed above $18 compound pressure.
  • GameStop cited as the cleanest historical analog; the squeeze occurs in two legs — short squeeze then retail call buying causing parabolic move.
  • Russell index addition of Hyperliquid is a passive flow catalyst with mechanically forced buying, combining with call skew and low float to create three independent buyers.
  • Hyperliquid rallying while Bitcoin lags falsifies crypto correlation thesis; cash flows are shifting from crypto to traditional markets via HIP-III.
  • Real interest rates near zero and suppressed credit spreads concentrate risk-seeking capital into disruptors; Hyperliquid sits at nexus of multiple US financial system disruptions.

Author states 'software through IGV and Oracle is leading' in the context of AI capex build-out acting like a commodity market, suggesting software sector (tracked by IGV) is outperforming and a beneficiary of the current macro regime. Risk: IGV is a broad ETF; thesis may not materialize if sector rotation or rate changes occur.
