/6B futures are trading above the previous value area in a choppy range around the high call gamma strike. Upside risk remains elevated today, yet the 1.24 area will prove sticky to price action.

 

FINAL THOUGHTS


/VX futures remain elevated as rioting spreads across the US, US and China tensions are high and the pandemic continues to weigh on the global economy. Gamma exposure rose moderately Friday showing continued positive gamma. DIX rose to its highest level ever, indicating dark pool buying activity has remained heightened. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
