VIX at the 4 hour view. The VIX had another short-lived volatility jump as expected. It confirmed a new wedge as a result. The volatility jump was short-lived due to the high liquidity according to the market's internal data. The high liquidity just drowned the VIX's potential jump. Currently, the VIX is doing the "volatility dance." That's when the VIX makes...
Chart show a nice move and seems getting strong today, currently at $8.80 approximately from $1.90 it's a huge volatility indeed and seems to run further in the coming days.
From the looks of it, I was right that there would be a volatility jump somewhere between 7/30 to 8/4. I was right that the high liquidity is drowning the VIX. I was also right that the VIX cannot sustain a volatility run unless the dollar strength bounces. Volatility got dampened when the dollar sank again. What I was wrong is that I was expecting the volatility...
VIX at the 4 hour view. It seems that my second support was off by 0.2 points. Close enough. The VIX is trying to fight back after reaching a medium-term support. It's projected to break that wedge no later than 08/05. It's more likely that the VIX will break the wedge earlier than that. If I were to guess, this Thursday or Friday would be a good catalyst....
A huge volatility happened today as it escalate to $9.32 approximately from $3.80 and seems going to run even further soon.
I hope the move here could possibly run well in the coming days.
A gradual movement after the down fall last March due to COVID-19 outbreak. Striving to make a positive movement and today might showing lead to possible move forward soon.
Hi Guys, here a comparison VIX vs SPX from the start of the pandemic on 20 Feb. The mantra "when the VIX is high, it's time to buy" played until the FED announced unlimited QE. Will the index also play the mantra "when the VIX is low, look out below!"? For additional information in respect of the these two mantras here some links for easy...
VIX - measuring the volatility over period of time of SPX . Why do I bring this to your attention? The more advance you get towards trading and the immense amount of passion I have towards trading, I get excited and explore various other charts support indices which for this instance it's the VIX - Correlates usually highly with SPX. What do I mean? We are in...
1. As can be seen VIX has once again formed a bullish wedge which is ready to breakout in the very near future 2. Another way to look at this is by combining the 2 wedges which is forming a triangle ( see attached line chart). This is also showing signs of a breakout. 3. 50d SMA for the PUT/ CALL ratio is at EXTREME lows; last seen in 2009 ! This is...
VIX at the 4 hour view. According to the market internal data, liquidity is pretty high. So high that it's drowning volatility as well as permabears' accounts. As stated before, last week's pullback ran out of time. Pullbacks will be limited for a few days. That said, the VIX refuses to go below 23. Why? It's because there are so many calls over puts that the...
As long as VIX is above this level, we are not out of the woods yet
Good Morning Mindful Traders, Started the day with a great meditation sesh, walking the dog, a roller blade for myself (Some ice under my eyes for the sleepy bags XD) Always remember these things - Are the important things that help us stay focused and trade well. Drop me a line in the comments for your self care tactics while trading. VIX - This is a great...
Update from Friday mornings analysis. If it goes just like June, then look for potential big gap up in VXX Monday, possibly Tuesday.
I want to discuss why I use the trend in the VIX index as an indicator for downside risk. When the VIX is trending higher, I interpret that as increasing downside risk for stocks. My reasoning is as follows. I use the VIX Index as an indicator for real put demand. I say real demand, because traders buying and selling intraday is not what I’m looking for....
