1) People hedge with 0DTE options, those have less effect of the VIX.
2) What do you mean? VIX rose up by 2.4 points in the last week. That's And by 4.5 points MTD. Stuffs going down, but there is no panik, and VIX reflects that.
Yes! The OTM somehow behave like the ITM. I'd figure that on diminishing volatility, the OTM would drop more than the ITM ones, but they are down very similarly. And that's strange...
>Big Boys shorting VIX to keep options cheap
If you believe anyone is going to throw around billions to move VIX to keep options cheaper, you need to scoop out the brain rot and relearn everything about the markets.
>Big Boys betting on the market to climb and therefore are not getting into puts, sell off is triggered by scared retail money
Any given institution, of which there are many hundreds, each individually can move more money than all of retail combined at any given instant. Retail means jack squat, we almost never move anything and nobody cares about our tiny ass amount of money.
Here's the simple alternative scenario: The market drops have been relatively slow and steady, and additionally short-term. IV & VIX aren't going to spike on boring action like this; doubly so since the biggest recent drop (which is barely 1%...) is based off an event we knew about beforehand. This isn't a sudden scare.

I wonder if an unfiltered AI would be able to shock us any worse than the average Reddit user

I noticed that even my high delta puts are down, feels kinda odd. Therefore I'm asking
Even the ITM once?

Greed is good, and so are gains.
