🔍 Current Signal:
VIX = 18.12, up +1.4% today → a mild risk-off signal.
It jumped sharply from ~17.8 earlier, indicating a short-term spike in volatility expectations.
However, values below 20 are still considered moderate — not panic levels.
🟢/🔴 Market Implications:
🔴 Slightly Bearish / Cautious: Rising VIX means traders are hedging or expecting some near-term weakness or uncertainty in the S&P 500.
🟢 Not Extreme: It’s still below crisis thresholds (20–25+), so overall market sentiment is cautious, not fearful.
💡 Possible Strategy:
Equity traders: Be cautious with new long positions; consider tightening stop-losses.
Option traders: Volatility may provide better premiums for selling options.
Hedging: Short-term hedges (like SPY puts) may be worth considering if volatility continues rising.
VIX It's going to fill the gap at 16.80
VIX Just going to hazard a guess that everyone selling premium on the VIX is going to go up in smoke at some point. Just a matter of time.
VIX expecting 20 to hold support for next week
