「Stock Market Oracle」 Serenity's February Prediction Accurately Comes True: Captures KOSPI Options Volatility Mismatch to Earn Over 4x

1 hours ago

May 26th — Renowned tech stock guru Serenity, nicknamed the "Small-Cap Tech Stock God," has locked in huge gains from volatility arbitrage on Korean index options. Serenity highlighted that the long call option trade on EWY (iShares MSCI Korea ETF), which he first put forward back on February 13th, has fully played out: the position has delivered over 300% in profits, with total returns exceeding 4x. He explained that EWY’s core components are Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two top memory giants classified as high-volatility assets. The implied volatility of EWY was estimated at 65-80%, but its index options were severely undervalued — roughly 32% mispriced, far lower than the levels seen for Google and Amazon. Serenity noted market makers overly relied on historical low-volatility data, overlooking the new normal of elevated volatility driven by the AI memory supercycle. The profits came from two key drivers: the rise in EWY’s underlying price and a re-pricing of implied volatility. This success unfolded despite widespread market concerns over an energy crisis and fears of a South Korean stock market bubble. The memory supercycle has continued to materialize, with Samsung and SK Hynix raking in massive revenue. BlockBeats Addendum: Serenity is a senior trader with significant influence on Reddit’s WallStreetBets (WSB) community, boasting a year-to-date return of over 38x. His core research is consistently shared for free, focusing on critical links in NVIDIA’s AI chip supply chain. By thoroughly analyzing the "screw components" that are indispensable to chip manufacturing and packaging processes, he accurately identifies key supply chain chokepoints, then targets upstream assets characterized by scarcity and strong bargaining power.

Bitcoin Volatility Nears Lowest Level Since 2023 as Crypto Market Enters 'Calm Before the Storm'

On May 26, Bitcoin’s expected volatility plummeted to a nine-month low. The Bitcoin VIX Index—which tracks 30-day expected volatility derived from option prices—dropped to 36.11, hitting its lowest level since September last year and nearing the 2023 low point. Weak trading activity, paired with speculative capital shifting away from Bitcoin to other assets, has eased demand for options as a protective hedge. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price has pulled back to levels close to its September 2023 lows, with the broader crypto market entering a "breather" phase. Market sentiment remains relatively calm, and short-term volatility is expected to stay suppressed at low levels moving forward.

ECB Governing Council Member: Rate Hike Needed in June Even If Iran Deal Reached

May 26 (Reuters) – Isabel Schnabel, a member of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Executive Board and a contender for ECB president, said even if the U.S. and Iran reach a peaceful agreement, the ECB should still begin hiking interest rates in June. She argues the ongoing energy shock has lasted far longer than expected, as damage to energy infrastructure and supply chain disruptions push high energy costs to ripple across the broader economy. Schnabel noted Eurozone inflation has climbed to 3%, with additional upside risks ahead. Inside the ECB, officials are concerned that elevated energy costs are driving up prices for goods and services via a "second-round effect," which is creating stickier inflationary pressures. She stressed the ECB’s prior baseline forecasts already factored in two interest rate hikes, and a single move may not be enough to meet the inflation control target. Markets have already priced in expectations for two upcoming increases to the ECB’s deposit rate, and
