$VIX Red lines are the major resistances. I view them as buying points for equities. We are approaching the first one. Buy the fear.

Looks like the $VIX will close again today above the upper Bband. You know the drill, right? $SPX

$VIX 19 to 18 gave some nice bounces but now VIX held 18 As long as VIX holds 18 , market not going anywhere 💡

The old $VIX -- BBand signal hits again! If you took $SVXY as suggested last week, keep in mind that this signal is often short-lived. Can count on a couple days...after that it's gotta be checked.

$VIX $SPY 19,000 troops have been sent to the Middle East in the past 2 weeks. NYT report planned strikes by Israel and US will dramatically increase in intensity after the midterms. Something is brewing

🔮 DÉJÀ VU: October 2025 Is Repeating October 10 — $VIX spiked 32% making SPY drop 18 points October 13 — A little relief bounce, VIX dropped 12% making $SPY bounce 10 points October 16 — VIX bounced again 23% making SPY drop 4.5 points October 17 — VIX dropped 18% making SPY bounce 3.75 points October 20 — VIX dropped another 12% making SPY bounce 7 points Same script this year. Relief bounce first, which we might get on October 19th Monday before another leg down. But I ain't betting on it instead staying cash heavy.

$VIX back above 20 (20.09, +22% today, hit 22.31 intraday). Fear is rising. $QQQ -2.7% to ~708.50, slipping under its 3-week low (~710). $SPY -1.2%. Plan: smaller size, wider stops. No knife catching on $QQQ. Waiting for a higher low / reclaim of 710 before any long. Defensive names like $PG holding up better. Not financial advice.

Breadth looks great… really just the mega caps, market digesting more equity issuance (or maybe sooner) than expected, wild to see $VIX down indices off so much, but clearly strength under the surface masked by market cap weighted indices

$VIX >> Daily Chart >> Look at the July spike above the moving averages and the pullback that followed Notice the other 400 SMA resistance tests led to pullbacks $VIX was telling us the market could have a multi day bounce after spiking above the moving averages then dropping back below the 400 SMA $SPY $SPX $VXX $SVXY

The last 3 times $VIX approached backwardation, volatility backed off for the months to come.

That's what we saw on October 20, 2025 - The Failed $VIX Spike VIX bounced 2.4% to 21.02 and then failed to hold green and closed 12% down at 18.23 $SPY on the other end closed +7 points. When a VIX spike fails at the open, the bounce is real. Keep an eye 👀

$VIX back over 20s = Still a lot of uncertainty out there. Will use this week to accumulate more $QQQ for 1) long term and 2) Swing trade month to month into next year. We still have more possibility of market drops need a capitulation event to occur now.

$VIX Every couple years this thing touches 40. Everytime I pucker my arsehole, look the red in the face and go in massive on $SPY calls. Everytime I have made a killing. These are the greatest opportunities the market will give you. We're not even close to being there yet but if VIX goes above $40, you buy stocks. Backtest the strategy the returns are insane

$VIX Last week, when everyone was calling for a VIX spike, I said it would fall back toward 15 this week… and it’s almost there.
