/CL futures are trading within the previous value area after price has been supported around the high put gamma strike. Contracts are in the middle of a high volume node currently, and could trade in a range bound manner for the near future. Good entries are near the edges of the volume node, once confirmation price discovery has been rejected. With aggressive price action breaking outside of this node, look for trades in the direction of the breakout.

/6B futures are trading above the previous value area after price broke out of the range from yesterday. Upside risk is elevated, while volatility due to news catalysts could be expected later today.
FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures have risen higher as volatility hasn't left completely. Gamma exposure increased greatly yesterday showing extreme positive gamma, which will likely cause stickiness in /ES price action. DIX rose moderately again yesterday as dark pool buying remains high. Watch for euphoria in the market as this rally continues. Once positioning reaches the "all-in" level, we could see a reversal lower or at the very least a breather. The FOMC press release and Powell's testimony will most likely move ALL markets. You have been warned. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
