If options market makers are net 'short gamma,' what is the expected impact of their delta-hedging activity as the underlying stock price rises?

  1. They will do nothing, as gamma only affects the speed of price discovery.
  2. They will cancel their limit orders to increase the bid-ask spread.
  3. They must sell the underlying, dampening the price move and providing stability.
  4. They must buy more of the underlying, amplifying the upward price move.
