Description
The VVIX — the 'volatility of volatility' index — just jumped above 104, its highest level in months. Lucas and Luna break down what a VVIX spike means for day traders looking at options strategies, momentum entries, and reversal setups. They discuss the divergence between the VIX at 18.77 and the VVIX at 104.87, what history says about these levels (including a look back at the 2020 COVID crash), and how to trade the signal without getting whipsawed. Specific entry rules, stop placement, and the one number to watch on the VVIX this week. If you trade options or momentum, this is your playbook.
