FINAL THOUGHTS
Once again, /VX futures are above 40 indicating volatility remains elevated. Gamma continues to rise forecasting increased stickiness to /ES price action. DIX has risen further into the elevated range indicating that institutional investors increased buying activity yesterday. While elevated volatility remains, continue to use lower leverage and a stop loss.
