Why these events matter for options

Scheduled macro releases are volatility events: implied vol tends to build into them and collapse right after (a "vol crush"), which can gut a long 0DTE option even when you're right on direction. The 8:30 AM ET prints (CPI, jobs, PCE) and the 2:00 PM Fed decisions are the ones that move index options most. Many scalpers stand aside through the first minutes of a major print, then trade the reaction once the dealer map re-forms. NoVo flags the regime shift live on the dealer map.

Trade the reaction, not the guess

NoVo maps how dealer positioning re-forms after a print — the regime shift that defines the reaction — live on SPY / QQQ / IWM, with one-click entry and automated exits.

FAQ

Common questions

What economic events move the stock market most?
The biggest scheduled movers are Federal Reserve rate decisions (2:00 PM ET), the monthly CPI inflation report and the jobs report (both 8:30 AM ET), plus PCE, GDP and ISM. These are volatility events — implied vol builds into them and often collapses right after.
What is a volatility crush?
A volatility crush is the sharp drop in implied volatility right after a scheduled event resolves the uncertainty — e.g. after a CPI print or Fed decision. It can shrink a long option's value fast even if the underlying moves your way, which is why timing around these events matters for 0DTE.
