/6B futures are trading above the previous value area as price was supported strongly around 1.23 overnight. Upside risk is elevated, yet limited as the next resistance level is just above current price at our high call gamma strike of 1.24.
FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures are back in the 30s as volatility increases following US-China trade tensions. Gamma exposure rose marginally yesterday showing continued positive gamma. DIX rose slightly again yesterday indicating dark pool buying activity has increased. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
