TVC:VIX   Volatility S&P 500 Index
Vix had a big rise to the upside today, this move could signal a potential market correction on the stock market. Durring time of financial stress or high volatility VIX rises when it goes up shows as an increase investors fear. Today we have a big GAP to the upisde another gap that look like this one is on february 24 2020 when all the covid lockdowns started and stock market crashed, take a look at that as well.

In general i use VIX like that

Above 25% - market is in a risk off sentiment
Below 25% - market is in risk on sentiment and then i choose what to buy or sell in the markets.

Hope it was usefull
