Vol of the Vols Chart
Spot VIX stood at 15.4 Friday night, at about its -1 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 flat here. Long hot Summer days are here. Go to the Beach & switch to iced tea or mint julep.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both NYSE 5-day TRIN & NASDAQ 5-day TRINQ are fast approaching a [big?] SELL SIGNAL very soon.

US Treasury T-Notes & T-Bonds Yields Chart
Last week the whole YTM Curve took a massive dive. History has shown us that when we have strong inverted yield curve, a [sizable?] recession is looming, may a year or two from now...... Maury & Grumpino (plus Trumpkins) are, for now, in eternal words of Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb.
