Volatilityindex
Volatility about to break out? $UVXY the path to $60+.$UVXY looks like it's on the verge of breaking out to the upside. We a falling wedge which broke out to the upside and now price has found support on the top of the structure. Usually that indicates a large move upwards is coming.
If it starts moving, I can see a quick move up finding a final target of around $62.
Let's see what happens over the coming weeks. I've started buying in the low $12 region.
New VIX Cycle - 4/11/2022VIX at the daily view.
VIX finally broke its downtrend and RSI downtrend. It seem to have bounced off of the white pivot line (for now).
April seems to be set as a rollercoaster of a month. There is earnings season which provides some liquidity. At the same time, the US tax deadline is coming up (April 18th). The wealthy usually wait until the last minute to cash out to pay their tax liability. The bond market has been sinking like no tomorrow since QE ended. At the same time, money mainly shifted to defensive sectors (e.g. utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples). Push-pull.
On Twitter, I saw posts a month ago calling for VIX to be above 50. As stated before, it would be pretty hard for the VIX to break 50 unless the Federal Reserve does something highly expected like hiking rates to 5% by end of 2022... which is unlikely as it would require several conditions to reach that level of desperation.
There is another reason why the VIX would have a hard time reaching 50 in the next few months. The VIX is the measurement of implied volatility within the options market of the ES/SPX. Options is not the entire market. Bigger investors have not been using options as much to hedge their portfolios. In a clever way, bigger investors have been using futures to hedge their portfolios. Why is it clever? Futures qualify under section 1256 which is not 100% short-term capital gains. It's a tax advantage. VIX would have a hard time to measure the implied volatility if the bigger hedges are heading into the futures market and not the options market.
This is why most have a hard time understanding the VIX. It's a piece of the puzzle. You have to look at the bond market, credit market, FOREX market, options market, and individual sectors to see the full picture. Furthermore, one needs to master timing and risk management as well. Most traders think they know everything and stop learning after a few wins. Most become trapped in their dream of an epic crash or rally. The VIX doesn't care about your dreams or opinions. It's algorithms and formulas.
VIX might have an uptrend leading to May FOMC. The Fed minutes indicate that quantitative tightening might start as soon as May instead of June/July. Furthermore, OPEX and taxes are coming up. That might cause some whiplash. VIX might be back to elevated levels again (above 24). I won't be surprised to hover above 24 for a little while. As for timing it, that's the issue. With hedges being split between options and futures, timing VIX spikes became even harder.
VIX Uptrend Implication ContinuedInflation starting to become more persistent, markets ignoring the Fed's cautionary tone and modest 25 bps rate hike.
March inflation reporting comes out next week, the last inflation measure prior to the FOMC meeting in early May.
Volatility for S&P 500 likely to increase with potential exceed the March 2020 spike in the coming months.
Currently, expecting VIX to tap 40 in the near future.
VIX-S&P 500 FEAR INDEX-LESS FEAR, MARKETS CORRECTINGThe VIX measures the fear in the S&P 500. Even if you only trade or invest in crypto or stocks watching the VIX is critical in learning how to measure the sentiment of the general market regardless of what you are trading or investing. I use the VIX for even crypto trading and suits me well. It does the complete opposite of the what other stocks or cryptos do. Master understanding this chart and you will be better prepared at making successful trading entries and exits in the market. So despite the Russian Ukranian invasion the markets are correcting slowly and beginning to show promise once again.

✅VOLATILITY INDEX NEXT MOVE|SHORT🔥
✅VOLATILITY INDEX was trading in an uptrend
Following the global uncertainty due to the war
However, the price has hit a resistance level
From where VIX made a pullback
And broke the rising support line
Which makes me bearish biased
And thus I think we will see a move down
Towards the demand level below

$VIX to 45? Higher Lows continued??
Vix is sitting right at the trendline it’s been holding to since the beginning of the year… if it breaks down we could see a little profit taking rally. If it bounces above the volatility will be higher.
Vix to 45? I’d love to hear your feedback here…

VIX - Monthly - BIG UPSIDE ON VIXOn the monthly and daily chart, I see VIX making a bullish comeback which suggest we are about to see crazy volatility in the stock market. Combine that with the recent insider selling from Jeff Bezos of around $2 billion worth of amazon shares and Kimbal Musk (Elon Musk's brother) selling around $100 million worth of tesla shares on Nov 5th and then Elon Musk himself proposing to sell his own shares, We are more than likely to see a market pull back or crash in the coming weeks.
VIX Perfect Symmetry through the decades points to turbulence.I've posted this, interesting to say the least, pattern on VIX a few years ago and thought it might be a good time to refresh your memory following the recent (minor so far) pull-back on stocks.
As you see VIX has had two major patterns where an initial rise forms a Double Top (made of two market shocks/ catalysts) and then drops back to its 10.00 Support level. The most recent of the two has been the pattern that had Double Tops made by the 2008 Subprime Mortgage Crisis and the 2020 COVID flash crash. Since then (with the necessary cash injections by the U.S. Government), VIX has dropped to 15.00, below the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line). Like I said, the Support is 10.00, which means there is time left to the markets to stay in relative peace but the 1W MA50 is already on the rise, which is an early signal that the next rise towards a Double Top formation may be starting.
It is not panic time yet, but certainly something to keep in mind that volatility in the markets lies ahead.

Technical analysis update: VIX (11th August 2021)Upbeat economic data and further progress in economic recovery will lead to decrease in the market volatility over time. Because of that we would like to set our short term price target for VIX to 15 USD.

VIX vs S&P500 A simple correlation for buy/sell signalsVIX has been trading within a Channel Down since late April 2020 after the markets started to correct themselves following the COVID led March 2020 crash.
I have plotted the S&P500 on the chart and as you see from the comparison, the pattern is quite useful in determining when to sell stocks and when to buy. When VIX enters its Lower Lows zone, S&P500 starts to correct. If not immediately, then at least some days after it records a lower low from its previous price. Exception is August 6, 2020 when after the VIX hit the Lower Lows zone of the Channel Down, S&P500 continued to rise but still dropped lower than the VIX hit point even though it took it around 1 month to do so.
At the same time, when the VIX hits the Lower Highs zone of the Channel, it represents an optimal opportunity to buy stocks as it where S&P roughly makes its bottom.
Right now VIX is coming off a (near) Lower High and still has some way to go before hitting the Lower Lows Zone. This indicates that S&P should continue to rise, at least for the current month. Of course every pattern can be broken and this one will at some point but it is a fact that for over 1 year it has been giving the most consistent buy/ sell signals. Until it gets invalidate, the trend is your friend.

VIX Breaks Key Uptrend!? [BULLISH]This will be a quick post as today we are witnessing something in the market that could prove to be bullish for the S&P500 in the near future. Most importantly, this could be a move that FINALLY leads to a definitive direction for the markets and that is in the fact that the S&P500 Volatility Index today has broken its trend that we have been in and now appears to be heading down toward lower, less volatile areas.
The ultimate goal we would like to see is a retest and eventual breaking of the 15 basis point level. A breaking of this level would mean a return to the ultra bullish buy-and-hold area that we are accustomed to seeing the market trade in.
If this occurs it could be fun times ahead for S&P500 stocks.
VIX Decision Time. 3 month rally or -6% correction on stocks?VIX has been trading within a Channel Down since March 2020, which is natural as the huge volatility spike following the COVID outbreak as a global pandemic has been normalized gradually.
Every bottom on this Channel Down was in the form of a Cup and a spike to the Lower Highs trend-line followed. Every time that was translated into a strong correction on the stock markets.
Right now it is the first time (on the 1D time-frame) that the price broke below this Cup. A break below the Green Line will indicate in my opinion a strong stock market rally for Q3. On the other hand a break above the Red Line may cause a medium-term correction on stocks within -3% and -6%.
What do you think will happen?
