$VIX target $88-103TVC:VIX looks to be bottoming here and I think the next move higher is going to be the big one I've been waiting for. We did well last month catching that move into April 7th via UVXY calls. I started buying calls again April 24th for 5/30 - 6/20 and have continued buying as VIX has declined. Now the chart is finally looking like it's bottoming and I'm getting short signals on a lot of the charts -- therefore my conviction is growing that we're close to a reversal here. I think this move will be a move that happens once every 10+ years and the gains have the potential to be massive if it happens. Let's see if it plays out.

VIX at Support: Are Stocks and Bitcoin in Trouble?The VIX Chart Breakdown I’m looking at a 4-hour VIX chart spanning late 2022 to today, May 12, 2025. The VIX is currently sitting at 20.41, right at a key support level within a long-term curved channel (around 20). Earlier this year, we saw a massive spike to 54, signaling major market fear, but it’s since cooled off. Historically, when the VIX hits this support and reverses upward, volatility tends to rise, which often means trouble for risk assets like stocks and crypto. What Happens If the VIX Reverses? The VIX has a strong inverse relationship with the S&P 500—when the VIX goes up, stocks typically go down as fear creeps into the market. We’ve seen this play out before: that spike to 54 earlier this year coincided with a rough patch for the S&P 500. If the VIX bounces from its current support at 20 and climbs above 28-30, we could see renewed pressure on stocks in the short term. What Should You Watch For? VIX Levels: If the VIX breaks above 28-30, expect increased market stress, which could drag stocks and Bitcoin lower. Stocks: The S&P 500 may face a short-term pullback if volatility spikes, but historical patterns show these dips often lead to market bottoms, followed by recoveries. Bitcoin: Despite today’s dump, long-term forecasts remain bullish, with projections of $100,481 to $136,438 by the end of 2025, driven by ETF inflows and adoption. A VIX spike might create a buying opportunity if you’re a long-term holder. The Bottom Line Right now, the VIX at 20.41 isn’t screaming danger, but a reversal from this support could bring short-term pain for stocks and Bitcoin. Keep an eye on the VIX—if it starts climbing, brace for volatility. That said, these spikes often set the stage for recoveries, so don’t panic. For Bitcoin, today’s dump hurts, but the long-term outlook is still strong. Stay informed, manage your risk, and let’s see how this plays out!

$VIX: Where does VIX go from here? Happy Tuesday. A new week, new market KPIs to look at. Since the ‘Liberation Day’ VIX spike to 50 it has been a bear market for VIX and has been going down since then. Since then, the S&P had more than 11 day of positive close for the day. This is which we would expect when VIX is making new lower highs and lower lows. But where does the VIX go from here? It has been a remarkable trade to buy the indexes NASDAQ:QQQ and SP:SPX when the TVC:VIX is at or above 30. And then unwinding the trade when TVC:VIX touches 15. We have more than 10 days of positive closes in SP:SPX and the TVC:VIX is at 17. So we might have some more positive return in the near term. And then we rinse and repeat the same trade. Sell the indices when TVC:VIX touches 15 or lower band of this upward sloping channel. Verdict: Stay long until TVC:VIX @ 15. Unwind trade and then wait for TVC:VIX @ 30.

VIX | Nov 19, 2025 Call Options | Strike $21TVC:VIX , the great "fear" index, has two looming price gaps on the daily chart. Every gap has always been filled in the history of the $TVC:VIX. Given the 90-day tariff pauses and forever world turmoil, there will (undoubtedly), be a spike in the TVC:VIX to close these open gaps. It's just a matter of timing... I've chosen to go 6 months out on the option date (November 19, 2025) as a hedge to my portfolio ($3.45 per contract). I plan to add more contracts if the TVC:VIX dips into the 13-14 area, too. I truly dislike timing the market, but such a position could be a nice 3x gainer of the TVC:VIX spikes to $36 in short time. Or... totally worthless if we are in a constant bullish market for the next 6 months. Time will tell.

Decoding the VIX Crab Head and Shoulders.The formation of the butterfly pattern mentioned in the previous idea is quite intriguing! As we discussed before, the VIX index level of 28-29 is as a crucial threshold for our Crab strategy. Currently, we are witnessing the development of a head and shoulders pattern within this butterfly formation, which adds an exciting layer to our analysis. It's fascinating to see how these technical indicators can guide our trading decisions, and I hope you're as enthusiastic about this potential opportunity as I am! Let's keep an eye on these patterns and see how they unfold in the coming days.

VIX | Stock Market Correction IncomingVIX is the ticker symbol and the popular name for the Chicago Board Options Exchange's CBOE Volatility Index, a popular measure of the stock market's expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options. It is calculated and disseminated on a real-time basis by the CBOE, and is often referred to as the fear index or fear gauge. The VIX traces its origin to the financial economics research of Menachem Brenner and Dan Galai. In a series of papers beginning in 1989, Brenner and Galai proposed the creation of a series of volatility indices, beginning with an index on stock market volatility, and moving to interest rate and foreign exchange rate volatility.

VIX: Risk On?As of May 2, 2025, TVC:VIX has broken another support level, currently sitting at 22.63 with a -1.61% drop on the 4H chart. It is trading near a demand zone (22.00–22.34), but price action shows no bullish conviction. With multiple Break of Structure (BoS) events to the downside and no significant bullish order blocks holding, volatility appears to be compressing further. Meanwhile, AMEX:IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) has broken out of a bull flag and reclaimed the 9EMA and anchored VWAP bands from the April decline. It's up 2.29% on the day and targeting resistance zones between 201.21 and 212.33. 🧠 **Interpretation**: - Market sentiment shifting risk-on. - Volatility compression aligned with bullish equity breakout. - Expect continued downside in TVC:VIX unless geopolitical/fundamental catalysts spike fear. 🎯 ** TVC:VIX Bearish Probability: 65%** 📌 Watch zones: 21.50 for next liquidity grab, 27–30 zone for potential mean reversion if market reverses. #VIX #IWM #Volatility #TechnicalAnalysis #SmartMoneyConcepts #LuxAlgo #WaverVanir

VIX stock Chart Fibonacci Analysis 042925Trading Idea 1) Find a FIBO slingshot 2) Check FIBO 61.80% level 3) Entry Point > 24/61.80% Chart time frame: B A) 15 min(1W-3M) B) 1 hr(3M-6M) C) 4 hr(6M-1year) D) 1 day(1-3years) Stock progress: C A) Keep rising over 61.80% resistance B) 61.80% resistance C) 61.80% support D) Hit the bottom E) Hit the top Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern. When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point. As a great help, tradingview provides these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved. If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks. If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day.

VIX Set Up for a Big Move: Aggressive Institutional Call BuyingSummary: The VIX has officially broken major resistance, and institutional players are making large bets on rising volatility over the next 1–2 months. The combination of the technical breakout and heavy call buying strongly suggests a potential VIX surge toward 30–35. 🔥 Technical Analysis: Key Resistance at 23.50 (red line) was cleanly broken and is now acting as support. VIX currently at 25.16, maintaining position above all key short-term moving averages. Price is sandwiched between the 50 EMA (26.22) and 23.50 support, suggesting coiled energy ready to break either direction — currently favoring the upside. RSI remains neutral at ~45, meaning plenty of room for volatility expansion without technical exhaustion. Past behavior shows that after VIX clears major resistance and holds, sharp expansions typically follow. 📊 Institutional Option Flow: Today's VIX option flow highlights aggressive accumulation of May calls: 12,000 contracts bought on 21 Strike Calls (May 21 expiration) — $4.08M bet. 8,000 contracts bought on 22 Strike Calls (May 21 expiration) — $2.28M bet. Significant accumulation at the 30 Strike Calls across multiple timestamps — over $3M total premium. Additional layering into higher strikes for June and July expirations (34C, 40C, 60C, 70C), indicating expectations for extreme moves. 💬 Key Insight: These are large block trades, aggressively executed at the ask, suggesting real conviction rather than passive hedging. 🚀 Projected Outlook: Level Importance 23.50 Confirmed support after breakout 26.22 (50 EMA) Minor resistance — currently being tested 29.41 (20 EMA) Short-term breakout target 30–35 zone Primary upside target if VIX momentum continues If VIX sustains above 23.50 and breaks the 50 EMA cleanly, we can expect a fast push to the 30–35 range, especially if external catalysts (economic data, geopolitical risk) align. 📣 Final Thoughts: The technical setup and the institutional option flow are both aligned — something that doesn't happen often. Volatility is coiling above support, and big money is positioning for an explosive move. Whether you're managing risk or looking for opportunity, it's time to pay attention to volatility. ✍️ Chart and flow analysis by @brownian.

VIX is a VIXjust having a little fun in a chat about how i chart the VIX. i say a VIX is a VIX. when we are spiking, we are spiking and we should become cautious if we don't know how to manage in that environment (intense bearish environment). this recent spike has proven that there are bullish moments that can be gleamed, but you have to be clear about your targets . if someone has more to add about VIX royalty, please do share. otherwise, pick one to monitor if that is even your thing. no need to clutter your toolbox with VIX concepts... says me. shout out to @BradMatheny. your work is amazing. thank you for sharing a bit here and there. i'm going to make time to learn more from you. tootles

VIX, the paroxysm of fear is behind us The international equity market suffered a bearish shock between the beginning of February and the beginning of April, against the backdrop of the trade war. The trade war known as “reciprocal tariffs” initiated by the Trump Administration caused the MSCI World stock index to fall by over 20%. Now, since the States have entered into a sequence of trade diplomacy, the equity market has rebounded and volatility has dropped one floor. Can we say that the paroxysm of fear is behind us, based on the prism of technical analysis of the financial markets? To answer this question, we'd like to take a look at two interesting charts. 1) Firstly, the implied volatility chart of the stocks that make up the SP 500 index, the VIX. The nickname of this index is “the fear index”. Its calculation is based on the price of call and put options on the stocks making up the SP500 index. Remember that the S&P 500 is considered the benchmark index of Western finance 2) The second chart of interest is a quantitative analysis of financial markets. Quantitative analysis of financial markets is one of the disciplines of technical analysis of financial markets, and here it concerns the percentage of SP 500 stocks above the 50-day moving average. It is precisely the application of technical analysis to these two charts that allows us to argue in favour of a selling paroxysm reached during the first fortnight of April. For the VIX, the fear index has been rejecting downwards since the 60 level, with a chartist “black cloud cover” structure (Japanese candlestick terminology) and a bearish resolution of the RSI technical indicator from its weekly overbought zone. This signal historically signified that the paroxysm of fear was over. For the percentage of S&P 500 stocks above the 50-day moving average, the quantitative bullish signal is very convincing. Historically, every time this percentage has fallen below the 20% threshold in an abrupt fashion, only to rise back up again, it has signalled the final phase of the bear market, and that's what's happening again this April 2025, as you can see on the chart below. CONCLUSION: Through the prism of technical analysis of the financial markets, a number of clues point to a paroxysm of fear reached in the first half of April. Of course, only the fundamentals and the outcome of trade diplomacy can confirm that the low point is well and truly behind us.

VIX – “Liquidity Pool Bounce & Reversal Setup”🟢 VIX – “Liquidity Pool Bounce & Reversal Setup” 📅 Date: April 22, 2025 ⏰ Multi-Timeframe Analysis (12h, 1D, 1h, 30m, 5m) 🔎 Global Context: The Volatility Index (VIX) is reacting to a clear institutional liquidity zone (blue area) across multiple timeframes (12h, 1D, 1h), aligning with a mean reversion move following the explosive rally earlier this month. We’re seeing multiple signs of a potential bullish reversal: Previous lows + demand zone confluence Multiple CHoCH (Change of Character) events on lower timeframes Implied divergence from equities (not shown here, but inferred) Strong rejection from the institutional block (26.345–26.600) 🔍 Technical Analysis & Justification: 📌 Wyckoff & Smart Money Concepts (SMC): On 30m and 1h charts, we observe several CHoCH and BOS events suggesting a transition from redistribution into accumulation. The latest bearish move failed to break the weak low zone (26.345), indicating a liquidity grab trap. 📌 Fibonacci & Moving Averages: Price touched the 78.6%–88.6% retracement from the previous bullish leg. EMAs 8/21 (Orange/Blue) are about to cross bullish on 5m and 30m – a typical trigger for a new impulsive move. EMA200 (White) still hovers above – likely target of the first bullish push. 📌 Volume Profile (implicit): Most of the recent consolidation occurred in the 27.00–27.40 imbalance zone, which now acts as a magnet for price during retracement. 📌 Liquidity & Order Flow Concepts: The 26.345–26.600 range served as a Weak Low and was swept clean – classic liquidity trap behavior. 📈 Trade Parameters: 🟢 Entry (Buy): 26.795 🔒 Stop-Loss (SL): 26.345 (below last liquidity sweep) 🎯 Take Profit 1 (TP1): 27.390 (inefficiency zone + EMA200) 🎯 Take Profit 2 (TP2): 28.150 (1h/30m order block) 🧮 Risk-Reward Ratio (RR): TP1: ~1.6 TP2: ~3.0 📊 Confidence Level: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (High-probability setup) 🧠 Strategic Summary: This is a classic reversal play based on liquidity absorption and structural shift (CHoCH), supported by multi-timeframe alignment. A bullish engulfing or strong reaction inside the blue zone confirms the entry bias. If price breaks above 27.00 with volume, momentum may carry it towards 28.00+ swiftly. ⚠️ Risk Disclaimer: Trading involves risk. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose. Always manage your exposure wisely. 💬 What do you think of this setup? Do you see confluence with your strategy? Let’s discuss below! 👇
