VIX PARABOLIC means MAJOR DROP, we are on that zone now. After VIX's massive breakout this past few weeks -- rendering the market helpless bringing forth a bleeding season, VIX is bound for a major drop after tapping a strong resistance level. That parabolic move should warrant a weighty trim down ahead in the next few weeks. Expect markets across the board, from equities/crypto/fx majors/gold to bounce big from here on. Ideal opportunity to enter here relative to your preferred asset to trade. Spotted at 27.85 Interim target 20.0 Mid Target 15.0

Direct relationship between JAP 10 year yield and VIX?With reference to my previous posts on the inverse relationship between the VIX and USBTC, I want to give another instrumental relationship to monitor the trend of VIX in order to get some clues on the inverse trend of USBTC through that. The 10 year Japanese Gov. yield is in direct relationship to the VIX, though not too detailed but in line with its trends and major movements. As long we can expect the 10yJAP to increase - as it can be predicted right now due to rising inflation in Japan - we can expect the VIX as well to be elevated or rising. A break of the 10yJAP trend can be indicative of a change in the trend of the VIX and USBTC as well.

Harmonic Potentials On SPY & VIX Signal Huge ReversalUsing a harmonic pattern detection script developed by reees alongside RSI with a 15 minute timeframe, we see that AMEX:SPY has a huge upside potential to ~$588 while the TVC:VIX is showing that it has a high chance to sell off. With the RSI break above its moving average for AMEX:SPY and below the moving average for TVC:VIX , the patterns potential completion is strengthened. Usually, based on historical data, when both these instruments show an anti-symmetric pattern potential, it typically has a high chance of succeeding and reaching the potential price zone.

Backwardated Volatility Curve: A Thesis on Fear and OpportunityWhen the ephemeral grip of fear tightens, it often manifests as a divergence in the volatility landscape. Specifically, when the immediate dread, captured by spot VIX, surges beyond the horizon of longer-term anxieties, represented by VIX 3M, a unique market condition arises: the inverted, or backwardated, volatility term structure. Beyond a mere statistical anomaly, this phenomenon paints a vivid portrait of market psychology. The thesis posits that such an inversion reflects a market bracing for immediate shocks, a perception of heightened risk that overshadows longer-term outlooks. In essence, fear is front-loaded. The implications are profound. This surge in short-term implied volatility, driven by a desperate scramble for immediate protection via options, can trigger dramatic price swings. In its heightened state, the market often succumbs to panic, driving asset prices lower. Yet, the contrarian thesis finds its footing in this very panic, this acute manifestation of fear. The core argument rests on the dichotomy between panic and fundamentals. While short-term volatility spikes may reflect a visceral reaction to immediate threats, the longer-term view, as expressed by VIX 3M, suggests a belief in the eventual dissipation or moderation of these uncertainties. Thus, the inversion becomes a signal, a potential harbinger of near-term capitulation. Historically, when spot VIX eclipses VIX 3M to levels associated with market troughs, astute observers recognize an opportunity. The logic is compelling: once the immediate storm passes, spot VIX should revert, realigning with or falling below VIX 3M. This normalization and the potential for a stock market rebound form the basis of the contrarian play. The underlying principle is that volatility, by its nature, exhibits mean reversion. Extreme deviations, such as a significantly elevated spot VIX relative to longer-term measures, are often unsustainable. The expectation is that volatility will normalize, paving the way for market stabilization or a resurgence. However, a critical caveat remains. The backwardated curve is not a panacea. It can reflect genuine, persistent risks. Major unforeseen events can sustain or even amplify the inversion. Therefore, a contrarian stance is inherently risky. Yet, for those who believe in the market's tendency to overreact, the inverted volatility curve transcends a mere threat. It becomes an opportunity, a moment where the market's fear, though palpable, may be fleeting, paving the way for potential gains. This thesis invites a nuanced perspective, urging traders to discern between transient panic and enduring risk and to recognize the potential for opportunity within perceived chaos.

Vix Showing us Relief Ahead? The market volatility has taken a toll on many emotions over the last 2 weeks as we have broken many records for fear, panic, and short interest in the market. It is very clear that this drop has spooked many market participants out of their positions. However, statistics do suggest that these opportunities generally lead to rallies as the market reaches extreme oversold conditions. Above, I have illustrated a potential Bearish Harmonic pattern, with the key fibonacci retracement levels marked on the pivots. The VIX chart illustrates the nature of the Call / Put relationship, by representing panic levels above 20. As we can see , this harmonic pattern would suggest that a rally may be coming in the near future as panic begins to decline, or as the short traders start getting squeezed out of the market.

VIX/BTC Relationship up-dateFollowing up on my previous postings on the VIX/BTC relationship and possible conclusions from it on a successful trade, I up-dated my analysis as my personal view on the matter. From a cycle analysis perspective, we will get a VIX peak around 3/15 to 3/19, which means we will get a BTC trough as well around that time. The VIX might go into the 30th as we have not yet approached the SPX trough, though we might get a bear flag for a few days before it goes down again, bcs the market is oversold. Conclusions: watch IBIT, MSTR for a short/interm. term successful trade! Stay save ....

VIX/USDT.D - Is crypto the next volatility? I like to follow unusual ratios. I also regularly follow those that make sense for at least a few years. VIX/USDT.D is one of them. What I see when I examine the chart actually makes me think that no matter how positive I try to think, there is a high probability of a southward price movement for crypto assets. I predict that we will see more volatility in crypto assets than in the classical markets in the coming period and that this will be bearish for crypto assets. Good luck to everyone.

VIX going higher: Sector Rotation UnderwayTVC:VIX is the tool I use for market timing. It tells us a lot. When it spikes to a Resistance (often 50% of the last major high) that tends to be a market bottom. But when you see what it is doing the last few weeks: Closing sustainably higher each bar... you know the market is pricing in more volatility. VIX is known as the "fear index" and you can extrapolate that out to see that fear is increasing. The VIX is also the most forward looking indicator I have found for the stock market. All signs point to more broad market downside. Another thing going on in context is a clear Sector Rotation. I noticed this last week but today's look at the Sector ETFs make it more clear. Not everything is down; AMEX:XLP and AMEX:XLU are up even as AMEX:SPY makes new lows. What this tells me is that investors are fleeing into "quality" stocks with low volatility and that pay dividends. I'm currently sitting in cash, waiting for opportunities, and hedged some of my long term tax advantage accounts in AMEX:SH

Vix is predicting a Black Swan EventI believe contrary to common thought; TVC:VIX is chartable with definitive patterns it follows. The pattern in question? Basic double bottom consolidation phases followed by breakouts bull flags retest of the bull flag bottom and follow through from there. We are currently breaking out of 2 double bottom patterns on the chart; one double bottom is the consolidation being used as the stand in for retest of the bull flag bottom with the bull flagpole being the sharp rally back in March 2020. The 2nd double bottom the chart is simultaneously breaking out of is the huge double bottom consolidation with the first bottom being from '91 to '08 while 2nd bottom is from '09 to now. Based on all of the above evidence I believe Vix is predicting a black swan event of biblical proportions for the market

Is a Massive Surge to $100 Coming in March 2025?Understanding the VIX Index: A Comprehensive Analysis for Market Predictions The VIX index, often referred to as the “fear gauge” of the financial markets, provides crucial insights into market volatility. Since its inception, the VIX has been a valuable tool for investors and analysts seeking to gauge market sentiment and potential turning points. Historical Overview and Elliott Wave Analysis Our analysis traces back to the market bottom around November 2017, where the VIX index embarked on an upward trajectory in a three-wave pattern, identified as an ABC structure. The wave B was characterised by a triangle formation, and the concluding wave C terminated around the $85 mark. Following this, the VIX entered a corrective phase, forming a W-X-Y pattern. In this structure, wave W was a zigzag, wave X formed a triangle, and wave Y concluded around the 14.47 level. Potential Bullish Signal and Market Implications Looking ahead, we anticipate that a breach of the 22.51 level could trigger a bullish signal for the VIX, potentially driving it towards the $100 target by late March 2025. This projection suggests that the S&P 500 may experience further declines until this timeframe. Seasonality and Confirmation of Analysis Supporting our analysis is the seasonal pattern of the VIX, indicating a market bottom around mid-February and a peak in mid to late March. This seasonal behaviour aligns perfectly with our Elliott Wave Theory, Gann analysis, and Fibonacci projections, reinforcing our forecast of a significant market movement.
