VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
This past week both VIX & VXN sold off quite steadily from +3 sigma to almost -1 sigma.

The Yield Curve eased off tremendously this past week. This could be a big signal by the US Bonds Market about the pending global markets slow down. Maury is speechless and about to write a memo to Grumpino to vent out. LOL !!
