What changed
That’s unstable. VVIX 2nd %ile and VXN 3rd %ile against skew 94th %ile is a mean-reversion setup.
Index calm is the extreme—Nasdaq vol 3rd %ile. Commodities aren’t: Corn 100th %ile, soybeans 98th %ile.
Crypto is hot too—BTC 98th %ile, SOL 92nd %ile. USD/CNY and 5-year notes are 0th %ile.
So what? Kalshi has just 4% on NDX ending Dec in 32000-32499.99. Calm is crowded, and the tails are already twitching.
