$VIX - Wolfe Wave - Beware of Bull Trap... without full conviction, but but the VIX suggests another LL . The last week in February would be strange.
The situation on $XIV:

Short SVXY durring high VIX periodsSVXY pays a price when VIX is high (>16).... even when SPY is increasing (see arrows). This is due to rollover but not to be confused with VXX decay due to contango.
Did you catch inverse volatility?I was observing $XIV for a while, only to fall asleep and watch the train leave!
VIX index still poised for oversized move higher this summer.Despite briefly dipping below 12, based on this chart interpretation the VIX is still poised for a rather large spike this summer. First trigger would be a move over ~14 then a push through major resistance ~19.50 - 20 would probably see a rapid ramp towards the low 30's.
This would roughly correlate to a 20-30% correction in the SPX.
Watch to see if the VIX can break and close above the 50 sma (currently 14.08) and then the 250 sma (currently 19.35) for confirmation.
