Watch For Tricks In The Vix

2:26cst, vix 10.11 and climbing, might even close green today with all markets up nearly 1%

 

Markets may zoom right out of the gate, then drift all day again just like today, this keeps the vix in check hehehehe.

 

I follow the VIX too and at the moment it is really stretched downside from it's 10day moving average which implies a pullback in the markets could happen in next 2-3 days. Pullback or sideways consolidation. This indicator used this way has not failed in the last 6 months http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

 

Simple question


Why does the volatility increase in a bear/down market, as in the daily range and intraday swings?

Thanks

 

Whaaaaa hahahaha look its about to go green now 10.25.
