Part 1 - Risk-off August - VIX Weekly
Updated
VIX (Volatility Index) seems to be preparing for another spike in volatility.
With the start of February 2018, VIX jumped. That spike in volatility could represent the first piece of a series of similar events.
This indicator is used by analysts to measure the state of buy-sell investors’ emotions, complacency versus the fear effect. In simple terms, a rise in the VIX would or bring with it a sharp fall in Stocks and/or Indices.
A decrease in the VIX represents the periods when market participants are in the state of greed, being complacent and euphorically enjoying the bull market. A rise in VIX indicates a period of uncertainty, risk-off events that impact the markets directly and suddenly. Such spikes bring with them a fear effect, when investors are beginning to feel worried for the market’s destined directions.
