Based on an analysis of the open interest in the S&P500 (SPX) you find that under 2935 dealers are short gamma and will therefore be adding fuel to both rallies and selloffs (aka volatility). This may make it a more challenging environment to short options. Options expiration this week (Friday, 8/16) compounds volatility.
Note
2900 held for a while then volatility kicked in. VIX +15% on the day.Note
