Hi!
On today’s Orbit we look at that crazy spike in VIX this morning as well as short duration SPX vol which has now been cut in half on the market bounce. We also discuss how options can be traded in such high IV moments, especially for those either looking to take advantage as sellers or how to lessen the impact if buying.
We also talk markets overall and some of the unwinding/dislocation happening that contributed to this morning as well as how the short gamma backdrop ha hangover will open things up to both vicious sell offs like this morning but also rallies. Hope you enjoy!
