The Volatility Beast is Back (And It Looks P****d)

I gotta tell you something.

While everyone's celebrating the S&P hitting fresh all-time highs this week, I'm seeing warning signals that are making me want to hide under my desk and rock back and forth.

The market finished "massively unchanged" after one of the wildest weeks we've had in months. But here's what nobody's talking about:

Silver just crashed 26.6% in a single day.

At one point it was down over 33%.

I'm talking about a full-blown implosion that had to take out hedge funds. Margin requirements on silver contracts just spiked to $126,000 per lot.

But here's the thing that's really freaking me out...

The S&P is making new highs while the VVIX (volatility of volatility) is hitting 110. That's "get under your desk and start panicking" territory.

Order flow just got downright ANGRY inside my critical 6950-6850 levels.

The kind of volume we saw Thursday and Friday? That's huge trading day volume - the kind that usually comes with massive moves.

Except we're still stuck in this compressed 100-point range.

And Monday? Monday changes everything.

Zero DTE options for individual stocks officially go live. Apple, Google, Microsoft - daily expirations on the biggest names in the market.

I'm calling it a "neutron bomb of gamma" that hits the marketplace every single day now.

Look, I've been tracking these levels at nauseum for weeks. I keep talking about that 6950 inflection point because every time we touch it, we take off to the downside like a shock to the system.

The volatility beast has returned, and it looks p****d off.

WATCH: See exactly which levels I'm watching Monday and why this compressed range is about to explode

Coming into next week, keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.

Use alligator arms. Keep your risk tight. Don't trade big size.

Because you're gonna be trading some very big waves

To your success,

Don Kaufman

P.S. Volatility isn't going away. This was just the appetizer.

Silver imploded 26.6% in a day. The VVIX hit 110 while the S&P made new highs. And Monday, we get Zero DTE on individual stocks - a neutron bomb of gamma hitting the market every single day.

If you don't have a system for trading through chaos like this, you're gonna get shredded. The VIX Volatility Bundle gives you the exact framework I use when markets are acting completely insane: which setups work in explosive vol, how to size positions when risk is spiking, and the levels that tell you when to press vs. when to back off.
