## Resource

Episode 107 of The Day Trading Podcast with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna break down the VIX at 15.03 and the VVIX at 87.28, explaining why low implied volatility can be a trap for short-term traders. They walk through the mechanics of the VIX term structure, the volatility risk premium (VRP), and how to position for a mean-reversion pop using vega, gamma, and theta. Specific trade examples include short-dated put spreads on S&P 500 ETFs and long VIX call spreads when the VIX pin action fails.
