One of the sources of fuel for a market rally is volatility selling. However, it’s the selling that ultimately leads to the last squeeze higher before the fall. Looking at term structure of volatility and skewness is a way to identify volatility expectations and hedging. Over the past few days, these vol-based indicators have been the most bearish since mid-December of last year. As NVDA retests it’s all-time high, this may be a warning to take profits before the next correction.
