INDIAVIX EDUCATIONAL(1)What is India VIX or India Volatile Index?
-India VIX or India Volatility Index is a volatile index that is calculated by the NSE to measure the market’s anticipation for volatility and fluctuations in the near term.
-A lower VIX signifies low volatility and a stable range for the asset price.
-A higher VIX implies high volatility and a lack of confidence among investors to trade in the current market range. Usually, it is an indication of a significant directional movement in the market marked with the broadening of the current range.
-So, if the value of the India VIX index shows a rise, then the expectation of traders should be a high level of volatility. This translates to a considerable shift in the NIFTY index. If the value is low, this indicates a lower expectation of volatility, and that means hardly any change in the NIFTY index itself.
(2) What is Volatility?
-Volatility refers to periods of unpredictability when security prices go through rapid fluctuations. Often people associate volatility with price falls. But it can also happen in an uptrend.
(3) What is the reason behind this surge in INDIAVIX?
- The volatility is caused by Covid-related concerns as coronavirus cases have risen in foreign nations like China and the US and its consequent impact on India.
If we see on the basis of technical it's reacting from the zone which was held perfectly multiple times in past.
No, the VIX isn't riggedVIX at the weekly view.
I didn't have time to write this last week due to a hectic schedule. Better late than never, I guess.
The VIX broke the weekly resistance and bounced from the pivot zone (white line). A smaller VIX spike is in progress. No, I am not expecting above 40 at all. Maybe mid-30s at the higher end. It would be nice if I am wrong so more opportunities can arise... With the relatively big contango going on between VIX and VX, you would need extreme, precise timing in VX long entries and exits... I don't like babysitting trades at all - where there is no margin for error. I prefer trades were I am allowed to have plenty of margin for error (easier trades).
It seems that my red line still lives on which I am very surprised. It should expire in the next quarter... but it's hard to pinpoint. Even then, cash (or cash equivalents) is still still king. Why is that important?
The biggest VIX spikes were driven due to 1 particular reason: excessive demand for hedges in SPX /ES options. There is no "suppression" program as conspiracy theorists claim on social media. There is no mysterious group (often called "they") that magically pull levers to control all markets. That type of thinking is a losing mentality. That mentality means the person lost a lot and wants to blame someone else other than himself/herself. It's like a grown adult blaming all their problems on their parents. It's a very unhealthy coping mechanism.
As stated before, there are 3 reasons why the VIX won't spike hard despite big red days in the SPX or ES.
1) When short-term bond yields are high and in an uptrend (bond prices in a downtrend), cash becomes king (not trash). So, when positions are being sold, the money is then flowed into cash equivalents like treasury bonds and securities. That means there is less money going to hedges. VIX doesn't get a big spike if there less demand for hedges.
2) When the bonds are sinking (yields rising), there is also sector rotation from growth to cyclical stocks. More specifically, dividend value stocks become more attractive. That just means money is just rotating among sectors within the SPX /ES. There are little hedges being bought during this rotation... as it's just trading shares for shares.
3) Hedges were meant to protect gains in investments. If the investment is at a loss, then there is no need for a hedge since that would unnecessarily tie up more capital. When cash is king, it makes more sense just to sell for tax-loss harvesting (to offset gains for tax purposes) than to add more stress with hedges. Imagine if you had $1 million in gains this year and you then owe over $400,000 in taxes. Most likely, you would worry about how to lower your tax liability. Tax-loss harvesting is a common method. Hedges were meant to protect gains so the investments would reach the long-term capital gains tax rate (which is significantly lower).
It is NOT an inverse index nor some sort of fear index (which the media loves to label it as). Normally, if I see something who treats it that way, it's a red flag that they never bothered studying the VIX and VX. The VIX loves to punish anyone who is impatient or anyone didn't bother to understand its mechanics.
Imagine the VIX like piloting a commercial or transport plane. If you don't understand the flight control systems thoroughly, you will likely crash the plane.

This level on VIX can make the S&P500 finally break bullishThis is the S&P500 on the top chart compared to the Volatility Index (VIX) at the bottom. As you see, VIX rebounded on the 19.20 Support level that was formed by the August 12 Low and that made the S&P500 get rejected on its Lower Highs trend-line that is holding since the start of 2022.
If that upward trend on VIX continues, S&P500 should trend towards its previous Low and if VIX tests its October High, then most likely it will be translated into a Lower Low for the S&P500.
However, a break below VIX's Low, into the Green Zone, should make the S&P500 finally crosses above this 1 year Resistance. Further, a VIX break below the 16.35 Low (formed by the January 04 Low), should technically confirm the long-term bullish break-out. This can be as early as the start of 2023 if VIX's Channel Down is extended.

$VXX looks like it's about to explode higherSo far the selloff has been pretty orderly the entire year and trying to play volatility hasn't worked. I think that's about to change.
$VXX has been consolidating in these two channels and looks like it's about to explode higher. If we can see $VXX get above $21 or so, I think we're about to see a huge move in $VXX. Similar to what we saw in March 2020.
I've marked off key levels of resistance on the upside. Let's see if it plays out over the coming weeks.
Volatility S&P 500 Index, Daily, The Upcoming Market Crash?I think that in mid-November we may be dealing with a stock market crash. Let's take a look at the volatility index of the S&P 500 stock index. The analogy of 2008 has been fulfilling almost perfectly so far. If it continues, the price should completely fill the gap and rebound from the green zone. If we break the red zone, I would expect a rebound from the newly created flip zone (gray box on the chart) and a dynamic increase in volatility. Volatility means big drops or big gains. In the current macroeconomic situation, it is difficult to think about dynamic increases, especially this winter. The potential trade on VIX to rebound from the green zone and break through the peaks from March 2020 has as much as a 20:1 risk-reward ratio (SL under the zone). I am sure there will be even more great opportunities for this scenario on shorting, i.e., SP500, Nasdaq 100 or DAX.
Make or break. Elliot wave count for the capitulation eventUpdate on my previous idea. The C wave up ended up extending into 4 waves. But that has now completed.
It's make or break for the bear market right now. Personally, I don't see us breaking out of the downtrend. But a fake-out is always possible.
Note that this technical analysis is a small part of the bearish case. The wider macro-economic environment bear case speaks for itself.
I'm long volatility via VIX Call options and CFDs.
What do you guys think?

NASDAQ Volatility Looking to Come Down to a 1.13 ExtensionWe have an Ascending Broadening Wedge with a Confirmed Partial-Decline and Hidden Bearish Divergence and a Potential Bearish BAMM Shark that is targeting $10.2657 on the NASDAQ Volatility Index.
$VIX Can Rise Soon - Watch Out #VIXTraders and Investors, US Indices have had a good rally. Dow Jones has been the leading one which printed the one of the biggest 3M bullish engulfing candles ever. SnP500 is also creating 3M bullish engulfing bit has been lagging behind the US30. NASDAQ (NAS100) is the lagging behind at the last spot. Russell 2000 has been also printing a bullish engulfing candle on the 3m Time frame. On the other hand, in the UK, UK100 (FTSE100) also has been going really strong. US30 did not have a single stock in a bearish category since 12th of October 2022! This also has broken an important level and trend line. It is overextended at the moment and a correction could be due. This has a perfect confluence with VIX (Volatility Index) which currently is in a demand zone and an FCP zone.
VIX can still fall further down because a pattern before failed, and a trend line was broken which makes it more bearish. But for now, a bounce could be due because of the demand zone. This can produce a bounce to the upside which can also coincide with corrections across indices and possibly precious metals too.
As we enter the last week of November, we can expect some good moves in the market which can turn into short term trading opportunities.
US30: (3M Time Frame)
US500: (3M Time Frame)
US100 (3M Time Frame)
UK100 (3M Time Frame)

S&P500 and VIX Cycles say rally more likely from now onOn this 1W time-frame we look into the S&P500 index (SPX) and the Volatility Index (VIX) since 1990. We've used the Sine Waves on an (approximately) VIX bottom-to-bottom basis in order to identify what the S&P500 normally does at this part of the Cycle.
As you see from the current point and until VIX Cycle's next bottom (blue zone), the S&P500 in a total of three occasions, it has been on a Rally twice and the other time January 28 2022 - February 07 2005, it was on its way to the final drop of the Dotcom Bear Market, lasting 35 weeks and then a strong Rally followed.
If the above is anything to follow then the S&P500 has more probabilities of rising consistently for the rest of this part of VIX's Cycle and if the case is like 2002, then drop for the next 35 weeks and the rally aggressively.
Which scenario do you think is more likely?

VIX - The recent high to be taken out soonThe volatility index, VIX, has spiked again, with the market marking new lows for the year. With these grim developments, we continue to be bullish on the index and expect it to reach our short-term price target of 35 USD soon. As if it was not enough, we expect VIX to continue higher over time. Therefore, we want to set a medium-term price target for VIX at 37 USD. Our preceding articles are attached to this idea.

What do USD/MXN and S&P 500 VIX have in common?The Mexican peso (MXN) is one of the conventional high-beta currencies traded on the forex market, making it extremely susceptible to changes in risk sentiment on global financial markets. When MXN inflows occur, it usually signals that investors are willing to take risks. In the last three months, USD/MXN has lost 3%, making the peso one of the best-performing currency in 2022.
Much of the MXN's outperformance has been the result of a very hawkish Mexican Central Bank, which hiked interest rates up to 9.25%, the highest since 2005. Another 75bps hike is expected at November 10th meeting, which would bring Mexican rates to 10%.
Aside from the Banxico hiking cycle in Mexico, the Peso has a strong correlation with global risk factors, namely the stock market volatility. To put it another way, historically, the USD/MXN pair and the S&P volatility index ( VIX ) have behaved similarly.
What are we seeing now?
The USD/MXN 14-day RSI indicator has entered oversold territory, highlighting the need for caution for investors willing to take on more risk at this stage, as MXN valuations are beginning to appear rather stretched.
Therefore, the bearish momentum for both USD/MXN and the VIX might have reached a peak.
Aside from the results of the midterm elections, investors will almost definitely have to digest another strong US CPI data this week. Analysts predict 8% annual inflation in October, with core inflation at 6.5%.
If actual results match or exceed estimates, Fed interest rate expectations will likely be reassessed higher. As the U.S. and Mexican economies are highly interdependent, the anticipated cyclical weakening of the U.S. economy bodes poorly for the Mexican economy and adds to MXN downward pressures.

VIX - Will the FED spark another rally in the volatility index?On 18th October 2022, we warned investors that our short-term price target of 35 USD would be pushed further into the future if the market rallied until the FED meeting. Now, we are growing increasingly bullish on the index and expect it to return above 30 USD and then continue toward our short-term and medium-term price targets.
