About this material

Discover how institutional players suppress volatility to maintain market stability—or create complacency. This material reveals how the VIX is influenced through options flows, structured products, and central bank behavior. You’ll learn how volatility is engineered, not natural, and how volatility control mechanisms are used to delay selloffs or create deceptive calm. Ideal for traders seeking to understand volatility manipulation and better time risk-on/risk-off environments.
