DJ Transports (proxy for economic conditions 6 to 9 months hence) chart pattern is healthy again. It closed at very near +2 sigma on Friday.
Russell 2000 Small Caps (proxy for RISK ON/OFF) rallied first two days of the week and then went flat. RISK-ON is back.
A quick note from @Capt_Tiko: What is key to watch here is their CI Diffs.

Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 12.85 is now at its -1 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).
VIX had a relatively quiet week. For OVX (vol index for crude), that was a different story.
