Price Action
Where did all the traders go? Today was a very quiet trading session. The price oscillated between $289 and $292 on very low volume. Volatility in general has taken a nose dive with the .BVOL Index (30 day realised volatility) down over 50% since one month prior to 65%.
Trade Ideas
Going into the final stretch of March, volatility could pop meaningfully if $300 is breached on heavy volume. Consider buying BVOLH15 which expires on March 27th.
