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.
