FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Question from Bilcan - Why no $BTC opts yet?

Question from CL Dance - Why is S&P volatility the only one most people pay attention to?

Question from Frank - What do you guys think of this article? Do you ever use the commodity volatility indices in your analysis? https://www.investing.com/analysis/oil--gold-vs-oil--gold-volatility-indices-200307186. As I've noted recently, the major price resistance and support levels are 80.00 and 60.00, respectively. Corresponding to those are the major ratio resistance and support levels of 3.00 and 2.00, respectively. In this regard, it will be important for the ratio to remain above 2.00 and the ratio 5 MA to remain above the 8 MA to confirm an upward bias on oil on this timeframe.

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Question from Desanya - Can you get the dairy folks on the show from CME? Also is CME planning to list more crypto anytime soon?

Question from LDC - There are rumors that CFTC is looking to approve ether futures. Can we expect an Eth offering from CME anytime soon?

Question from McIge - Has anyone ever put out an index with the top 5 or 10 names by market cap in the respective indices. Seems like you could get the lion's share of the move in big indices like SPY or SPX with just a few names.
