What CIM Looks Like to Options Traders Today
IV rank of 33.8% sits near the 1-year median, where strategy choice depends on directional conviction and the event calendar rather than vol regime alone; negative net gamma exposure (-$31.7K) means dealers hedge with trend, amplifying realized volatility and accelerating directional moves; the 25-delta skew (0.006) is roughly flat across the wings.
