ETN Hedge Radar

Neither score is at an extreme today. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where ETN sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.

Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.2) — downside puts carry 0.3 IV points more than at-the-money, and near-dated vol is priced 5% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.19): it is trading 3% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
