UST depeg summary: WHY AND WHAT CAUSED UST DEPEG?
Hint is in Anchor protocol and the status of Curve UST pool. @anchor_protocol @terra_money
In this thread, I will share my thoughts on what caused the depeg.
First, UST deposits in Anchor protocol started to exit, which means more circulating UST in the market → sell pressure.

However, one big problem remains. Liquidity decreased a lot in Curve UST3CRV pool. 3CRV tokens were almost drained in the pool compared to week before.
This means, little UST absorption liquidity for downside.
On May 10th, 2022, around 17:00, another massive withdrawls of UST initiated in anchor protocol. $0.8B withdrawls during one hour.
This generated negative feedback loops where Luna price dropped more drastically.
However, in this time, there weren’t much liquidity left in the curve pool.
Therefore, UST price in the pool also dropped significantly even with a stableswap mechanism.
However, it didn’t take long to congest the on-chain vAMM with high spread fees.
- Don’t ever grow the protocol with un-sustainable yields. This will trigger fear during downside.
- Be ware of the status of Curve pool and take care of the liquidity there.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

2nd example by @Mitesh_Engr Sir on converting a directional trade into strangles. Option Sellers can use this for consistent profit.
• Identified a reversal and sold puts
• Puts decayed a lot
• When achieved 2% profit through puts then sold
Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
