When spot prices rally, volatility typically declines. This is the standard behavior of the tape. But right now, the correlation has flipped. We are seeing a &#8220;spot up, vol up&#8221; regime. When volatility rallies alongside price, it signals a fundamental shift in market character. It&#8217;s time to lock in! Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
