VIX is back above 20, stocks are under pressure, and volatility traders have plenty to unpack as Mark Longo and Russell Rhoads celebrate 700 episodes of Volatility Views!

On this episode, we break down the market fallout from Meta and Tesla earnings, mounting concerns over AI spending, and what a flatter VIX futures curve reveals about demand for protection. Is volatility establishing a higher floor, or are traders still eager to sell every spike?

We also explore:
• VIX, VVIX and VOLI—and what skew reveals beneath the surface.
• Unusual VIX options activity, weekly trades and a sizable ratio spread roll into December.
• October VIX settlement and the challenges of monetizing volatility hedges.
• SVIX, UVIX, UVXY and VXX performance, options activity and liquidity.
• Russell's approach to weekend volatility exposure.
• Our next round of Crystal Ball VIX forecasts.

Plus, Mark recaps ALTSO's Rocktoberfest charity event, and we reflect on 700 episodes of navigating the volatility markets.
