Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX currently stands at 9.5, right at its -1 sigma (remember it's the VIX volatility pattern ( its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and inventor of original VIX, now called VXO ). VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
Last week, VIX managed to trade in 9 handle. One more sigma will put VIX in high-8 handle.

Both NYSE & NASDAQ 5-day TRINs are in NEUTRAL Zone. No Signal here.
