What changed
Corn, copper, wheat all 100th %ile. Bitcoin and Solana 99th %ile. Hard assets are running hot while equity vol is comatose. Not sure people appreciate the split.
Gold vol 64th %ile vs VIX 2nd %ile. Someone’s hedging metals, not stocks. Bad signal for the everything-calm trade.
HSI vol 0th %ile, VIX of VIX 0th %ile. All the fear gauges are pinned. Watch this: when they reset, they reset fast.
Kalshi puts Nasdaq 32000-32499 Dec 31 at 4%. That’s not conviction in a range — it’s tails wide open. So what: watch vol mean reversion, not the tape.
