Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX is currently at its -1 sigma level at 10.85 (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).
The VOL Complex again moved LOWER this past week.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs are again NEUTRAL for now. No Signal here.

Next Wednesday is FEB VIX expiration so, per our standard protocol for this indicator, on Friday, we rolled forward our VX Spread. Our new 3-month VIX Futures Spread (LONG MAR & SHORT JUN) dropped further and closed at -3.37 near its -3 sigma on Friday. We are nearing OVERBOUGHT HERE.
