VIX - The recent high to be taken out soon

The volatility index, VIX, has spiked again, with the market marking new lows for the year. With these grim developments, we continue to be bullish on the index and expect it to reach our short-term price target of 35 USD soon. As if it was not enough, we expect VIX to continue higher over time. Therefore, we want to set a medium-term price target for VIX at 37 USD. Our preceding articles are attached to this idea.

Trade active:

VIX failed to reach our price target of 35 USD. Indeed, with the strong buying pressure in the past week, it started to decline. However, that does not change our belief that it will reach our price targets over time; merely, it will postpone them further in the future. For the short-term, if the market continues higher (before the FED meeting), then the VIX is likely to decline. Regardless, we do not abandon our price targets.

Trade active:

VIX shows some signs of decline, however, we stay committed to our bullish outlook.

Trade active:

The VIX index paused its decline shortly before the FED meeting. We will closely watch the index's reaction after the FOMC decision.

Trade closed: stop reached:

The VIX fails to follow through and fulfill our prediction. We abandon our price targets on the upside.
