Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 12 is at its +2 sigma (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 future of current shockwave is very dubious.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both charts are still NEUTRAL here........

US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
The jump in YTM for the 5-year T-Notes (and to some degree the 10-yr T-Note) is worth watching this week.
