Day Trading the VVIX Collapse After the VIX Spike
Season 2
Episode 66
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
The VIX jumped 6.6% in five days but the VVIX, which tracks volatility of volatility, cratered 5.7%. Lucas and Luna break down what this divergence means for day traders: why the VVIX collapse signals complacency among options market makers, how to trade the VIX-VVIX gap using SPY put spreads, and why the current setup mirrors the post-Fed consolidation pattern. They walk through a concrete trade: selling VIX call spreads when VVIX is below 90 and VIX above 17. Specific numbers, real signals, no fluff.
