Season 3
Episode 124
Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
The VIX has pushed above 17.50 for the first time in months, up 11.8% over the past five days. Lucas and Luna break down what this level means for intraday strategy — why 17.50 acts as a psychological barrier, how options markets are repricing, and why the VVIX at 102.82 confirms this isn't just noise. They walk through specific entry models for a higher-volatility environment, the trap of fading the VIX too early, and what Jamie Dimon's recent warning about 'underestimated risks' means for short-term traders. No hot takes—just the signal and the trade.
