Market Measures - October 20, 2025 - When Traders Panic: What IVR and Volume Reveal
A market measure segment analyzed how volatility and trading volume interact in SPY over a five-year period. The research confirms that when implied volatility (IVR) spikes, trading volume typically increases, signaling genuine fear in markets.
The most significant finding: days with both high IVR and high volume create ideal short-volatility setups, as these conditions typically lead to rapid volatility contraction within 24-48 hours. This pattern creates what traders call "the juiciest short vol opportunities."
The study reinforces that crowd behavior drives the volatility cycle, once everyone reacts to market panic, there's no one left to sell, creating mean reversion. Low IVR periods offer minimal reward for volatility sellers due to limited expected movement.
The tastylive network teaches investors innovative, simple ways to trade stocks, options, and futures, take advantage of market volatility and build a successful portfolio. Tom Sosnoff leads an irreverent and playful band of floor traders who are showing America a new way to quickly find low risk, high return strategies in bullish, bearish and sideways markets.
