Vix-Volatility

[Xymox]

Vix is telling us for the time being, all things are well in the world. Implies higher highs for equities, and selloff in bonds.

 

[Xymox]

fear still subsiding.

 

[Xymox]

All pretty fragile though imho, and as Im sure everyone knows v closely tied to measures of credit right now. Don't think we're out of the woods yet for what it's worth.

its just the calm before the storm, next few months, the alarm about the weakness, will be used to hit various markets.

, keep an eye for preemptive positioning by the bigboys before their sell orders trample everyone.

vol spike being engineered using oil to increase volatility in other markets.

what it is capable of. Looking at the Vix can you an idea of what kind of levels to look for in terms of fear at the cusp of a correction.

I don't think so. A hard down day can just as easily be followed by a hard up day. Volatility is two-way street, up as well as down.

Vix came down with the 40 point + rally.

 

[Xymox]

notice insurance was removed even though we made new low on index futures.... what its basically showing is that, the new index low attempts was engineered so that the insurance thats removed doesn't have excessive slippage..

then the next question is why is insurance being removed, when index futures are attempting to test lower levels, its basically preparation for the FED meeting..on Dec 11th..

the insurance levels..will be replaced after the FED meeting.

 

[Xymox]

look what happened...

 

[Xymox]

expecting test of 38 or so.

 

[Xymox]

this double top structure implies a creation of new highs on the VIX.

 

[Xymox]

tragedy averted swinging to 19.5

 

[Xymox]

low was around 19.5 on the vix...
