Ether options dealers have built a net positive or long gamma exposure and are likely to buy low and sell high, arresting the price volatility ahead of next Friday's derivatives expiry.

Ether has dropped 2% this week, establishing a foothold under the crucial support of the 200-week simple moving average at $1,660.

A market maker or a dealer is a market participant posting both a bid and ask in a market to provide liquidity at all times. These entities make money from the bid-ask spread and agnostic to price action. They run a direction-neutral book, which mandates constant buying and selling of the underlying asset to limit the exposure to price gyrations.
