I'm starting to (many are) think about positioning for the next long vix (long uvxy etc.) market (short) cycle. Not saying it's here, yet but many are starting to put on protection. CNBC had a good segment on options action friday 4/1 it folds into this. Last bounce for the big cycle was when vix was lingering in the 12's and dipped quickly into the upper 11's. One of the analysts on cnbc made an interesting comment..something to the effect of "don't get caught falling into reasoncy..we tend to think whatever is happening will continue to happen".
For some reason you may have to pull the chart to the left to expose the arrows a coupld of text items on the right. Vix is red, aapl green, spy is black
