Our mid-term targets we shared in October have been reached. Now let the market work through a shallow bounce into April before we continue lower.

I would pay attention to silver and gold here for a good run up.

We warned members (long term view issued in October 2025) that we are not done selling, as we are hedged through late June - regardless of any shallow bounce in April. VIX term structure remains in deep inversion across multiple expirations, with spot volatility commanding a significant premium over the forward curve, a configuration historically associated with acute stress rather than orderly repricing. The persistence of this inversion over several sessions eliminates the possibility of a transient spike and confirms that the options market is pricing a sustained regime of elevated realized volatility. Negative butterfly structures across the surface indicate that tail risk is front-loaded in the near tenor, with the market assigning materially higher probability mass to immediate downside than to deferred risk events. The combination of elevated spot VIX, persistent term structure inversion, and concentrated near-term skew is consistent with a market that has not yet identified a credible clearing mechanism, participants are not positioning for a V-shaped recovery but rather hedging for continued drawdown or a secondary leg lower.
