Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 13.2 is now nearing -2 sigma (remember it’s the VIX’s vol pattern (its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and the inventor of original VIX, now called VXO). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
As discussed here two weeks ago, VIX pulled back and it was much faster than most expected, including but not limited to, yours truly & @Capt_Tiko!!
