We are on the verge of a MACD sell signal on the VIX , after the VIX crossed the 30 mark. A sell signal occurs when the histogram crosses below the zero line or when the MACD curves cross from top to bottom. According to the logic from my book "Hedging mit Optionen: Crashsicher handeln", this constellation signals a calming of the market situation. With the exception of 2008, the triggering of this signal was a good time to reduce hedging positions and dare to re-enter the markets.
