/6B futures are trading below the previous value area as price was rejected around 1.2355. That strong rejection, coupled with the downward progression of volume from yesterday afternoon to current, indicates continued selling pressure. Downside risk is elevated.
FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain in the upper 20s as volatility stays on the minds of traders. Gamma exposure rose marginally yesterday showing continued positive gamma. DIX fell sharply yesterday indicating dark pool buying activity has diminished. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
