What changed
Kalshi has Nasdaq 32,000-32,499.99 by Dec 31 at 4%. The market is convinced, not hedged.
Copper at 100th %ile, gold 98th, wheat 100th, HYG 100th. Hard assets and credit are running hot while equity vol sleeps.
Gold vol 81st %ile vs Nasdaq vol 6th %ile is the tell. Someone’s buying protection in metals, not megacap tech.
If VVIX snaps, the crowded calm in Nasdaq and HYG reprices fast. Watch VVIX, HYG, and that 4% Kalshi line.
