Vixanalysis

Emergency VIX Analysis... 30+When I woke up this morning, I had to run my son & his friend to school. When I got back home and sat down in front of this computer, my eyes widened and I said "MY GOD!" Someone said capitulation is a feeling. Well honey... this is it. Spiked VIX, huge gaps down, nausea, & nerves shook. On to the analysis. We are wicking from the top as of now. But this journey has been a lesson of what can happen during times of a a heightened VIX (sustained time over 20). Here are a couple of things that I have learned and confirmed with my own eyes since the new year (2025). Monthly wicks should not be ignored. Price needs to regain the top of the wick and hold for further move up. VIX divergence is a thing. General observations... VIX up, mkt down = mkt down as VIX continues up VIX down, mkt up = mkt up as VIX stays down VIX holding above 20 in a range is still bearish. After major spikes, watch for this. Methodical sell off likely to occur. If you have other observations to express... please do. Taking a breath as we navigate these bearish times .

VIX Volatility Index ~ Trend Analysis (2H Chart)TVC:VIX chart mapping/analysis. Always been a firm-believer in strong negative correlation with SPX. Key is not matching SPX highs with VIX lows ie "catching the bottom" - it should be used as a supplementary indicator for overall market direction, by identifying key support/resistance areas for trend switches that aids you in developing a Trading Edge . Chart Example: October 2022 peak in VIX marked (temporary?) bottom in SPX VIX unable to break above ~34 resistance zone after multiple attempts = gives way to lower highs & lower lows (change in trend) SPX responds by making series of higher highs & higher lows VIX bottoms around July 2023, unable to break below ~13 resistance zone (ie trend switch) SPX peaks in July & proceeds to pull back until recent reversal - coinciding with dramatic drop in volatility This is by no means a done & dusted chart - after all it's called the "Volatility Index" lol. It will require ongoing tweaking, back-testing & confluence with SPX TA work, as well as vigilance of evolving macro-economic events which get rapidly priced into both indices. Good luck :) Note: "SPX TEMP BOTTOM horizontal line should be adjusted higher to sit on VIX peaks - can't edit chart & cbf re-publishing...but you get the idea, cheers.
