Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 11.87 is 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).
All Vol indices had a fairly quiet week. ROMANs occupied every foxhole.
