Don here...
Silver futures imploded 33% intraday today. The contract now requires $126,000 of margin for a single lot. At the same time, the S&P 500 hit a new all-time high this week.
That disconnect should terrify you.
The S&P finished the week essentially flat despite record volume and historic swings. Volume exploded Thursday. We did almost nothing on Monday through Wednesday, then the market erupted.
Here is what I am watching in tonight's video:
-
Order flow just got angry inside the 6850 to 6950 inflection zone I have been tracking for weeks.
-
VVIX, the volatility of the VIX itself, is soaring at 110 while the market sits near record highs.
-
The February and March volatility futures have compressed to just 85 cents apart, signaling the next 19 days could be as volatile as the next 47.
-
Zero DTE equity options go live Monday on Apple, Google, Nvidia, and others. This will change the nature of the beast.
-
The expected move for next week is $117 to $118, identical to this week despite no Fed announcement.
The volatility beast is back. It looks sustained. Big firms are buying VIX calls as a downside hedge. The VVIX at 110 is the kind of reading that says get under your desk.
If this week starts quiet, rest assured it will not end that way.
