Why it matters
What this buys you
on the desk.
How traders read Market Overview when they are looking for an edge worth taking.
Read Market Regime Before Trading
Vol breadth tells you what percentage of the market has IV above HV. When that number is above 70%, the broad market is pricing in risk — adjust your strategy mix accordingly.
Spot Sector Rotation
The sector heatmap highlights where money is flowing. Heavy put skew in one sector while another shows contango is a rotation signal.
Monitor Rates Context
Treasury yields affect options pricing through the risk-free rate. See 2Y, 5Y, 10Y and 30Y in one view to stay aware of rate regime changes.
