Stocks and Yields Signal Trouble as VIX Approaches Key ResistancThe Volatility Index (VIX), commonly known as the market's "fear gauge," has reached a critical juncture, testing the pivotal 2-year support/resistance level at 18.80. Following a dramatic 40% decline from its recent high of 29.20 to 17.32, the VIX has established a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicative of an imminent breakout. Major U.S. indices, including Nasdaq, S&P 500, Dow futures, and the 10-year Treasury yield, are retreating from recent rebounds, which increasingly resemble a classic "dead cat bounce" rather than sustainable recovery. The alignment of these indicators suggests the market sentiment remains fragile, raising the probability of further downside momentum. Technical Breakdown Volatility Index (VIX) The VIX is testing critical resistance at 18.80 after rebounding from the 17.30 zone. A symmetrical triangle pattern has formed, signalling potential volatility expansion. Immediate Bullish Scenario: Holding above 18.80 targets an initial rise toward 21.25 (triangle midpoint). A break above this level significantly increases the odds of a climb to 22.80 and subsequently to the triangle's upper boundary at 25.24. Beyond 25.24, the VIX could quickly escalate toward prior resistance zones at 26.75 and the recent high of 29.20. Bearish Scenario: A decisive break below 17.30 would temporarily alleviate bearish equity pressures but remains unlikely in the current uncertain climate.

Go Long on VIX Amid Elevated Market VolatilityKey Insights: The current market scenario is characterized by significant volatility due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, making the VIX an essential indicator for investors. With the VIX priced at 21.77, close attention should be paid to support and resistance levels, as a breach could provide actionable trading signals. Maintaining a long position on the VIX could be advantageous amidst ongoing market instability and the potential for further fluctuations. - Price Targets: For those considering a long position, the following targets and stops are recommended next week: - Target 1 (T1): 22.60 - Target 2 (T2): 23.50 - Stop Level 1 (S1): 21.20 - Stop Level 2 (S2): 20.60 - Recent Performance: The VIX has experienced heightened activity recently, reflecting the market's sensitivity to various risk factors, including geopolitical issues and tech market fluctuations. The current level near 21.77 points towards a phase where volatility remains above average, suggesting ongoing investor concern. - Expert Analysis: Market experts suggest maintaining vigilance in the face of potential volatility spikes. The consensus indicates that despite recent fluctuations, there is cautious optimism for relief rallies. Taking a strategic and disciplined approach amid the current market conditions is suggested, focusing on long-term quality assets while using the VIX as a barometer for short-term volatility. - News Impact: The pending FOMC meeting stands as a significant event that could influence market volatility levels. Geopolitical developments and economic data releases, such as retail sales, are also set to impact market dynamics. Notably, volatility in tech stocks and companies like Tesla demonstrates market sensitivity to external events, highlighting the importance of the VIX as an indicator under current market conditions.

VIX structure is becoming like 2022 pointing to deeper dipThe VIX is following similar pattern to 2022 and gradually increasing. Using that pattern, I can compare current spx to 2022 and draw a channel to 2022. then we have a way down to go. I also agree with ContraryTrader's post on spy specially his observation on Wyckoff distribution. I have been following the news and I know that big investors like Warren Buffet and Michael Burry have been selling heavily last year because it was overvalued. So if they have sold off, would they buy back with 10% correction? They would be looking at at least 30% correction before they start buying back. Now combine that with tariff wars!

$VIX spike to $80-100 incomingI think there's a large spike coming in VIX despite most people turning bullish on the market and bearish on the VIX. Price has maintained elevated levels for the past few months, all of the RSIs are in extreme bullish territory and the move looks very similar to the spike that we got on August 5th. Have no clue what will cause it, whether it's the fed meeting, gov't shutdown or some other outside factor, but the chart is looking like we should see a spike next week up to the $80-103 level. Let's see how it plays out.

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.
