Karsan: This is an effect of Oct Ivol being hi relative to everything behind it due to unbalanced dealer positioning. This makes it hard for market to decline w/any speed this week &’ll cause some combination of 3 effects:lower skew,lower IVol, & higher prices. The< of 1 the > of others.
Q: Will that effect wear off with Vanna & Charm leaving next week (OCT11-15) though?
Karsan: Yes. But the question remains, will we have fixed the technical damage and squeezed enough to support longer term flows by the time next week is here. -------------------------------
I reproduced this VIX I found on fintwit (full cred to stockcharts) chart from to help illustrate this healing process.
I'm watching the levels 4430 - 3 month point of control on volume profile 4365 - gamma flip line via @SpotGamma 4300-4400 - range of sept bear month.
I highlighted some key closing points that have identical VIX structure and direction that would indicate a gap up Monday.
