Equity vol is basically asleep: VIX 9th %ile, VVIX 2nd, Nasdaq vol 5th, dispersion 9th. Gold vol at 69th is the only one paying attention.

Everything risk-on is pinned at highs: Bitcoin and Solana 100th, soybeans and corn 100th, Aussie 100th, euro 91st. USD/CNH 0th. That’s not diversification, that’s a crowded boat. Kalshi has Nasdaq-100 finishing 32,000–32,499 on Dec 31 at 4%. If that’s near spot, someone’s sleeping. If it’s far, fine—but then the range itself is noise. The issue is when vol is this crushed and every asset is at a percentile extreme, mean reversion doesn’t need a catalyst, just a door opening. Watch gold vol as the tell.
