Why the VVIX at 104 and VIX at 18 Signal a Divergence Risk

Lucas and Luna unpack a rare market setup: the VIX at 18.77 and the VVIX at 104.87, both up over 9% in a week while the S&P 500 barely dipped. They explore what this VIX-VVIX divergence means for tail risk, options positioning, and whether the 'fear index' is actually complacent. Drawing on the current yield curve steepening and Dallas Fed hawkishness, they argue that the VVIX's spike reflects a hedging scramble, not broad panic. A must-listen for anyone trading volatility or rebalancing into small caps. #VVIX #VIX #Volatility #OptionsTrading #TailRisk #SP500 #Russell2000 #YieldCurve #FedPolicy #FedLogan #MarketHedging #RiskManagement #BearMarket #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Investing #MarketSignal Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
