Gamma Haze


Good morning!

Options AI mobile is now available in the Apple app store! Go find it here.

Futures are unchanged once again. The SPY is currently down 0.3% on the week, more or less unchanged. Options are pricing in just a 0.6% change for the balance of the week. Earnings after the close include DocuSign. Big moves this morning include Gamestop. The stock is down 20% following earnings and the firing of their CEO. And on the upside by 23%, Carvana (CVNA) on an updated positive guidance.

Vol went from low to lower yesterday with the VIX closing below 14. Low vol, especially when it follows a period of high vol, can have a dampening effect on stocks as the market gets loaded with long gamma, with traders selling stocks higher and buying lower at increasingly narrowing intervals against decaying long option positions. For option traders, especially those selling credit spreads, one important data point to keep an eye on is realized vs implied vol in near-term options. For instance, SPY IV for Friday’s expiry is just 10. But that’s not crazy considering SPY realized vol for the past month is just 11, and this week so far, even less.
