I'm a little late pointing this out but just something I'm watching is SPX - volatility movements.. The gray lines here are times I noticed where the prev 10d correlations between SPX and volatility products were all relatively strongly positive. When the price of SPX and the price of volatility move up together in an uptrend it has historically been a warning...
Imo this could be another indication of a topping pattern. Keep in mind that the majority of stocks are owned by "big players" who tend to buy in large chunks on high volume days. 70% of stocks in the S&P have been traded between the blue VA lines at any given point in time.

The way I see it it is a measure of...
