FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain in the 30s, yet slowly decreasing day over day. Volatility remains elevated but is quietly seeping from the markets. Gamma remained essentially flat yesterday which indicates no change in volatility in /ES price action. DIX fell once, showing institutions have decreased their buying over the past few days. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
