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.
