Brent Kochuba Says Volatility Is Now Releasing to the Upside

Brent Kochuba of SpotGamma (@spotgamma) joins Jermal Chandler and Mike Butler on a sharply bullish Monday and calls the payoff of the view he laid out last week: with the market refusing to fall on higher oil and rates, the first good news is releasing volatility to the upside. He points to something unusual, both the Nasdaq and the S&P now moving more on up days than down days, and frames the reflexive chase as the pieces come together after Friday's big expiration. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 Brent joins on a bullish Monday 00:13 Vol releasing to the upside 00:46 Cheap tech vol off the highs 01:19 Why Bitcoin broke out anyway 02:05 Buy the option because it is cheap 02:47 Bitcoin and gold going separate ways 03:28 Expressing upside with fixed risk 04:05 The MicroStrategy volatility story 05:37 Staying in his lane 06:35 Intel and the tech vol richening 07:53 Diluters now re rating higher 08:33 Why fundamentals bend in a chase #tastylive #spotgamma #gammaguy #volatility #techstocks #quarterend #bitcoin #optionstrading #callskew #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
