1/x Here we are @ 4/12. The rally to ATH has transpired as predicted & the VIX has tumbled to 13 month lows. The

2/x to become fairly hard to pinpoint. The truth is, that despite Vannaâshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đž" title="Prinzessin" aria-label="Emoji: Prinzessin">part time sched this week & charmâshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŠ„" title="Faultier" aria-label="Emoji: Faultier">fading strength as the week goes on, Garyâs still very much in control until thehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Banane" aria-label="Emoji: Banane">âs get taken away. Any rally to our 4140 *** objective should begin the process
3/x of loosening his grip...& any rally above 4140 toward a 420 spy before 4/20 should only serve to create greater potential energy for a correction in the month to come. Skew in the indices has been shockingly soft given how low IVol has become, NTM particularly in the front of
4/x the curve, as term structure has also steepened so dramatically, that it has left the potential for a wild rumpus to begin w/OTM puts in the front priced at absurdly low Ivols....A sizable buyer of margin puts at this juncture could be all it takes to set off a repricing that
5/x could ripple quickly through the Vol complex starting in the 2.5 weeks to come. Thishttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đȘ" title="Window" aria-label="Emoji: Window">happens to line up w/a 5 week OpEx cycle, which makes it all the more vulnerable, especially given what seems to be a dangerous liquidity period in what is the Treasuryâs greatest monthly
6/x issuance ever($370 mil)..amidst no further SLR support & itâs clearly not a coincidence that our head zookeeper Powell took 60 min out of his Sun to make sure Gary was well FED come Mon morning. Add to this a critical CPI number Tues morn & likelyhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ„" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">bank earnings coming Wed,

Itâs not a Q of if, but when @ this point...& ultimately the stars seem
8/x to be aligning for sooner rather than later, as retail call demand also seems to be softening amidst an economic reopening, tax sails begin to enter LT realized gain status & investors begin the process of making estimated calculations & payments for taxes in the month
9/x to come... Watch Rates like a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŠ
" title="Adler" aria-label="Emoji: Adler">. Watch Fixed strike Ivol on the rally. Watch IWM & NDX for underperformance. Thatâs is where weâll be proactively adding convex hedges opportunistically to our Tesla & Arkk bets to take advantage of liquidity on the tail when the opportunity
10/x arises. All of this said, as mentioned on Fri, remember itâs never an easy ride. weâre likely to get some more mowing of the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ·" title="Tulpe" aria-label="Emoji: Tulpe">âs & signs of accelerated forced call squeezes across the space before itâs all said & done. The RSIâs are blinking https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Stoppzeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Stoppzeichen">. So gamma is the name of the
11/x game. With an https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Auge" aria-label="Emoji: Auge"> to scalping to longer gamma & shorter deltas at each of our levels. If a decline finally comes mid/late next week, be careful buying the initial dip, as seasonality continues to weaken as we approach May & demand flows are waning w/ low short interest @
12/x record low levels, & decreased retail BTDâers around to cushion the blow. Pair this all w/the potential energy of compressed IVOl & skew, & the tailâs potentially fatter than its been in a while w/an increasingly neg dist as well. If we can make it to 4/26 w/out a close
13/13 below the 20 day, weâll know that the strength of the rally will continue until mid May. Good luck!!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="VierblĂ€ttriges Kleeblatt" aria-label="Emoji: VierblĂ€ttriges Kleeblatt"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="VierblĂ€ttriges Kleeblatt" aria-label="Emoji: VierblĂ€ttriges Kleeblatt">
