On Options Jive, Nick and Mikey break down a wild week where equities ripped higher while volatility compressed and oil swung sharply in both directions. Despite the noise, markets showed strong resilience, with back-to-back outsized gains pushing indices toward highs.

They also highlight how volatility has come in across multiple assets, creating tighter expected ranges and changing trade dynamics. With earnings season kicking off and key names ahead, the focus shifts to positioning in a market that continues to move fast but feels increasingly compressed from a volatility standpoint.
