Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX is currently is at its +1 sigma level at 16.19 (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).
Another shock wave appears to be brewing as we are witnessing the calm before the storm. Fasten your harnesses (Navy parlance for seat belts).

NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs are again in NEUTRAL zone.

SPX 2000 Analog for SPX 2016
The $64K question is not a matter of IF, but WHEN, the other shoe will drop. We think we are a lot closer to witness that soon, and of course, Maury is salivating at the thought of much lower prices for entry, even hoping to find some bargains BELOW COST. LOL.
