What to look at
Front ATM IV minus next. A gap of 5 or more vol points is inverted. Event premium sits in the front expiry.
IV crush candidate 16.6 pts
Daily
Overlay
- Call and put walls, flip, max pain, and dealer-gamma peak and trough.
- Faint green and red wash behind the candles is net dealer gamma by strike.
Profile
- Green and red fill on the right is open interest through next Friday.
- Grey outline is next Friday alone.
Bottom panel
- Implied move, option IV, realized vol, and IV versus the stock. An earnings week adds a second row: EPS est., the print, surprise, beat or miss, and IV crush when that gap is large.

Greek Exposure
What to look at
Above zero at spot, dealer hedging resists. Below, it chases. A flip near spot is the pin.
Term structure
What to look at
Front versus back. A downward slope is event vol. The dashed line is leftover vol after the event.
Skew
What to look at
Puts richer than calls is the crash bid. Compare the two expiries. Event-dated smiles steepen.
Open Interest
What to look at
Puts below spot are a cushion. Calls above are a lid. Max pain near spot on 0–2 DTE is pin risk.
