How Day Traders Read the VIX Crush Into Earnings Season
Season 2
Episode 84
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Lucas and Luna break down the VIX's rapid decline into earnings season, using live data from July 1, 2026. The VIX dropped 11.9% in five days to 16.64, while the S&P 500 hit 7,499. They explore how this signal sets up for active traders: the VIX crush often precedes a volatility snapback, especially with Fed hawkishness and AI-driven market moves. Specifics include the VIX term structure, the VVIX at 86.87, and how traders can position for the next 10-20 days using options and futures. No fluff—just a tradeable insight for day traders.
