finished the day about 38 basis points higher. It had been up earlier, reaching a peak of around 55 basis points.
The index broke an uptrend that had formed on August 5th, connecting with the November 5th lows. It has now fallen out of its prior trading channel., which rose to around 14.70. The VIX has been trending higher since its December 6th low, driven by increasing realized volatility. At these levels, call trading becomes less profitable. For example, yesterday, Tesla’s most active options were Friday’s $500 strike calls, priced at about $4. For holders to profit, the stock would need to rise to $504 by expiration—about 7–9% above its closing price of $465–470. If the stock doesn’t rally enough, these options will expire worthless.
