/6B futures are trading just below the previous value area after price fell substantially yesterday. Support held around the high put gamma strike overnight. Downside risk is elevated today.

FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain in the 30s as volatility is still elevated. Gamma exposure decreased substantially yesterday now displaying slightly positive gamma, which will likely cause volatility in /ES price action. DIX rose moderately yesterday as dark pool buying remains high. It remains to be seen if this is a simple breather on the way to higher highs or if we are in the middle of an extended downturn. Expect continued increased volatility in most, if not all, futures instruments. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
