Real Examples From the Founder’s Notes
KEY EVENTS
In April, we mapped how geopolitical de-escalation and collapsing implied volatility could drive SPX toward 6,750–6,800 — before the index rallied 225 points in one week.
In May, we stayed bullish above the 7,180 Risk Pivot as positive dealer gamma suppressed volatility — while SPX climbed from 7,230 to record highs near 7,500.
In June, we warned that extreme dispersion and crowded bullish positioning could overwhelm local gamma support — days before SPX fell more than 4% from its highs.
