The VIX today is falling to levels unseen since 1993.
Quote: "The VIX, Wall Street's so-called 'fear gauge', crashed to the lowest level in almost 25 years on Tuesday, as a raft of better-than-expected earnings reports boosted appetite for equities.
The VIX has been establishing trading ranges that continue to fall in recent weeks as the U.S. stock market has reached repeated records.
The index is based on options contracts on the S&P 500 30-days in the future. Its historical average is 20."

The DJIA is heading into the end of a 'rising wedge'. Extremely low VIX combined with a rising wedge pattern for the DJIA should indicating a market consolidation or correction pattern to occur in the next days or weeks. The VIX should rise if ever the uptrend is reversed into a countertrend (down).

FUNDAMENTAL VIEW: HISTORIC VIX NUMBERS UNDER
"10" EXTREMELY RARE
.
QUOTE:
.
Here’s what happened the last time the VIX traded this low
.
The CBOE Volatility Index dropped to its lowest level since December 1993 on Tuesday, and history shows it could mark a tremendous buying opportunity for stocks.
According to Brian Stutland of Equity Armor Investments, the so-called fear index has only closed below the 10 level on 24 trading days in history, with 15 of those days occurring in the last three months. Note, a close below 10 on Tuesday would mark the 25th time in history and 16th occurrence in the last three months.
But while Wall Street weighs whether the low volatility reading could signal a top for the markets, Stutland pointed out that it could actually foreshadow the next leg up in the rally.
"When we see this low, we look at the stock market and it has done fairly well," he explained Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now." "When we see the VIX trades below 10, usually in the last couple of times ."
He also noted that the last time the VIX saw a prolonged period below 10, in November 2006, the S&P 500 rallied 10 percent six months later, and 5 percent one year later.

Remark: Traders should remind the "lock up periode" for stock repurchase programs to start in 3-4 weeks from now. Stock buy backs may prevent right now US stockmarkets from more selling pressure. This is going to change within days by end of september if investors might continue to pull money out of US stockmarkets.

Quote: "The report also pointed out the turn away from U.S. stocks coincided with the late June surge in the euro against the U.S. dollar to its strongest in nearly a year, after comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi suggested higher inflation and tighter monetary policy soon in the euro zone.
The euro subsequently climbed to its highest in more than two years in early August, and traded slightly below those levels near $1.186 Friday. Draghi is scheduled to speak later Friday afternoon at an annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming."
