Season 3

Description
Episode 128 of The Day Trading Podcast with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore an unconventional but powerful short-term market signal: the 'Coffee Count' at Cboe. With the VIX at 17.94 and the VVIX at 95.55, they explain how a sudden surge in traders buying far-out-of-the-money SPX puts signals reflexive fear and creates a high-probability mean-reversion setup. Lucas breaks down the mechanics, the specific strike prices to watch, and why a one-minute spike in volume often precedes a VIX drop. They also discuss how to filter the signal using VVIX divergence. A practical, actionable pattern for active traders looking to fade panic. No ads—listener supported at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo.
