Instead of looking at SPX alone, looking at this ratio is better for shorting stocks/longing VIX, because it helps us distinguish between fearless crashes and fearful crashes. Watch the black/light blue/brown lines above. If this ratio breaks above those lines confidently, get out of shorts and wait for a better time to do so.

VSTOXX (Stoxx50 volatility index) is currently flirting with 4 months low level. STOXX 50 already started by touching top line of Bollinger band (20 days, 2 std dev). Comparing with S&P 500 and VIX (SP500 volatility index), we would also see +/- the same thing. Just be ready next week. Expecting at least 3% correction on STOXX50 in one of the days next week, as...
A simple comparison of SPX and VIX on weekly chart here. While the VIX index is pushing against the lower support, SPX is seems to be in a very good uptrend, The VIX could and has remained in the lower range for long duration ain the past but dynamics were different back then.

Another week of wasteland for premium selling, with EWZ again topping the volatility charts for non earnings plays, although I may go small with an IWM setup in the May monthly (it's the most volatile amongst the index ETF's, which ain't saying much). I've got one more short-term RUT/IUX setup on that I will need to address, but other than that, it's going to be...
Bounced up from the red support and now going back into the box.
Having exited a VXX short call diagonal setup today, I'm looking at further opportunities to get back into a long VXX or long UVXY setup, and -- as previously noted, I'll be looking to VIX for guidance, since both VXX and UVXY suffer from contango and their "bottoms" are slippery slopes that are gradually eroded by contango over time. In other words, what's a...
HS on spx500 everything else is falling apart. USDJPY, oil, triple C bonds, Biotech. Time to abandon ship or buy the dip around 1970.
Markets are under longer timeframe accumulation. Saw some smaller distribution overnight which should mark the final entry before trading higher to $208. Currently finding support at 50% Fibonacci retracement. BULL thesis intact above $2055.50
As we can see on the VIX daily chart here there needs to be a break of either support or resistance. Until then we wont really have a good idea of direction. My bet would be a a break of resistance but then it all depends on oil.
