$VIX - 4 Years of Uptrend!

Volatility has continued to trend higher for four years since 2018. This will eventually lead to a massive spike in volatility. Volatility is increasingly expanding over years, and has already tested the 2008 level in 2020. VIX is likely to come down a little to test the trendline and then rise off the major trendline. Daily

  3. 'The Public Health Agency of Canada will begin testing wastewater for the polio virus in several key high-risk communities following reports it was detected in sewage in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

    The highly transmissible and sometimes dangerous virus can cause paralysis and death and was a silent spreader in the 1950s"

    1. Ah yes it is. Daily VIX will get a death cross soon.

      However weekly VIX made a golden cross in April.

  10. What's happened is that this summer we had markets float up in the absence of selling.

    We had selling into June with traders actively at their desks. Summer vacation came and the selling went away. This is because travel restrictions lifted for the first time in two years.

    In September traders arrive back from vacation and the selling returns.

    1. You know the old saying climb the Wall of Worry. I think SPX has more upside but yes all the concerns are valid for winter.
