FBTC Gamma Walls
FBTC Hedge Radar
Fragility reads low; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where FBTC sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.
Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.59) — downside puts carry 0.3 IV points more than at-the-money, and near-dated vol is priced 4% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (3.38): it is trading 19% above its hedge wall on a wall graded MEDIUM for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
