Vix back at a 30 handle and looking poised to revisit the recent high of 37. While CTA's potentially cover their shorts after the bond market convexity quake, retail seems to be taking profits, and remain spooked. Lot's of weakness across global markets today. Join us now as we discuss every move on the indexes with our live analysis.

Down goes the VIX as always, it drops after every single spike it has done. Chart sel-explanatory

I'm expecting fireworks today. Hard to have a directional bias from here. Remember, volatility doesn't necessarily just mean the market goes down. It swings wildly both ways. Light postion size and WIDE stops is the only way to really play in these kind of markets.

This could have been a nice mean reversion play off that pivot point. Plus, conditions were already starting to look pretty volatile anyways.. They say hindsight is 20/20, but, maybe not so much with this one lol.

You just can't make this stuff up.

Back in 2007 the Vix consolidated in a downward triangular formation and then displayed circular coiling. Currently the Vix is presenting the same pattern seen in the 2007 chart. If the coiling we are seeing is bullish there should be a massive move to the upside within the next few weeks.

I expect a market crash coming in mid feb, may start from feb 10th or later, and it shall end at the end of March.

She is attempting another strike at the triangular resistance wall. Will she breech and take back control of the market??? I would pay attention if it happens.

The current shape can be a leading diagonal rising pattern. Then it should be viewed as an artificially created pattern, not a natural pattern. However, when the low point is broken, the meaning of the pattern shape disappears.

I know that most people hate Bearish analysis, BUT I have to share this with everyone VIX - is the volatility index of the stock market. The higher it gets the lower the (overall) market gets. It basically indicates uncertainty in the Market. This graph above indicates that the market might continue to go down. As you can see the VIX is getting ready to set a...

I don't think VIX is coming back to new lows, and soon we will see the real market crash which will push VIX to 150 or above. I am convinced that three things will happen together (nearly tick-for-tick on the chart): - the crash in Treasuries - the crash in Stocks - the biggest short squeeze in DXY in history. Watch TLT drop to 70..80, SPX break below...

Higher lows on the price action, lower lows on the RSI. Volatility is building up pressure. Notice how we closed on the bottom of that ascending triangle at the bottom of the bull flag. Not buying yet. LONG volatility. SHORT market.

SLOPolarBear

Everything in this chart screams BUY... buy volatility. Expecting a breakout within the next few days. May break below the ascending wedge we're in right now, but I expect to form a higher low. If you look at the channel from its lowest low, we've been in this since about Feb 5. Just shortly before that the market gapped up. I'm expecting SPY to close the gap...

In terms of long term allocation, I wouldn't touch equities with a ten-foot pole! That being said, with the amount of currency being created every second, all prices will continue to rise exponentially, and the proximity of financial assets to the source of this inflation (the Federal Reserve) will continue to favor their valuations! Would a uncontrolled rise in...

Market volume is drying up and we're seeing historic put:call ratio's on the indices. We have the necessary ingredients in the cake for a another wave of volatility to hit the market. Please see my previous post about the VIX and the compression patterns that often occur. Volatility tends to get bottled up and then erupt. We are likely in a bottling-up zone...
