In this Monument Traders LIVE session, Chris Johnson (CJ) and special guest JC Parets break down what’s really happening beneath the surface of the market, including the Nasdaq 100 breakdown, the importance of the 200-day moving average, and why volatility may not be finished. You’ll also hear why the VIX “always knocks twice,” what rising fear signals for investors, and how to position your portfolio as headlines continue to drive price action.
The answer isn’t conspiracy… it’s options mechanics, open interest, and institutional hedging. CJ explains how massive options positioning is quietly creating support and resistance levels, why the VIX is flashing warning signs, and what could happen when the March options expiration removes this artificial support.
If you’ve been wondering why the market feels strange lately… this is the explanation.
