Vol of the Vols Chart
Spot VIX stood at 15.85 Friday night, at about its zero sigma (remember it's the VIX volatility pattern aka "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).
Vols of the Vols are collapsing. Keep your bet size in check. Long hot Summer days are here. Go to the Beach.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both NYSE 5-day TRIN & NASDAQ 5-day TRINQ are in NEUTRAL zones. No signal here.

US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
Last week our YTMs got killed. Maury calls this an outrage and a disgrace. Down here in FL, folks tend to agree with that.
