idea from option pit... 0DTE is generating huge premium selling. And it's important to note that cheap options being sold have very little gamma. But as we head into expiration, if an option gets near-the-money, it's exposure to volatility explodes. Imagine this afternoon that $500,000,000 premium is being sold and expires in three hours. Now imagine that number is short many puts. Say, 4100s, 4050s, 4025s, etc. sold on a 4125 market ... Now imagine we get a move off a market catalyst ... and the S&P over the course of 30 seconds DROPS 40 points. What do the short premium sellers have on their hands? They need to get out. So they buy back their 4,100s to cover -- and that starts a chain reaction, as 4050s, 4025s, etc. all get tripped. The next thing you know, the SPX is down the limit. And total carnage is unleashed. We've seen it before, because that's what happened in this 2018 XIV chart ... The EXACT same kind of event is about to happen in SPX.
So your theory is that the S&P is about to crash 7% in one day, very soon. What is the evidence for that again? And you know the XIV is gone, right? It no longer exists?
the idea is from option pit, they dont give a lot of details, i know XIV is gone, i used to trade it, was not in when the crash happened.
