Current Assessment
Below 12, options markets are pricing in a calm month — often a precursor to complacent, momentum-friendly tape. Above 18, hedging demand has picked up meaningfully and sharp intraday moves become more likely. Spikes above 25 typically coincide with event-driven selloffs (elections, geopolitical shocks, global risk-off contagion).
Watch level: Above 18 warrants tighter position sizing and stop discipline.
