VIX seems to be preparing for another possible spike in volatility, dangerously hovering around 12.60 levels. This indicator is used by analysts to measure the state of buy-sell investors’ emotions, complacency versus the fear effect. In simple terms, a rise in the VIX would or could bring with it a sharp fall in Stocks and/or Indices. Last time the VIX spiked in early Feb 2018, Dow Jones, SNP500, DAX30 and most global indices shown big losses and bearish impulses.
