The CBOE Vix index has bounced off of the 200 daily moving average and retraced over 70% from the march 2020 highs.
Looking at the news of shares fo bankrupt companies being bought and pumped, stock indexes making all time highs whilst there is zero fundamental reasoning makes me think this bubble will burst. Maybe not right away but quite possibly we will see...
I believe we will have a breakout from this structure before April. It could move in either direction but realistically the risk is to the upside.
I personally don’t trade this but a useful indicator for other related markets.

The VIX is called the 'Fear Index'. That's for a good reason. In times of high volatility what do you do? People in general stay out i.e. they sell off and keep their powder dry, or look for safe havens. They fear for their money, even if they don't admit it.
As a trader you're told 'volatility is good for traders'. But really - is it? It depends on how extreme...

This is not a cry to long VIX by any means, but it seems we are off the lows having had the lowest implied volatility in the first quarter of 2017 EVER recorded. Realized volatility was the lowest in 40 years.
