FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures have risen back into the 30s as volatility increases. Gamma exposure increased once again yesterday showing extreme positive gamma, which will likely cause stickiness in /ES price action. DIX fell modestly yesterday as dark pool buying remains high. We may be witnessing an end to the euphoria in the next few days as renewed concerns regarding COVID-19 continue to emerge and impact the future earning potential of the global economy. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
