Volatility fails to hold minor gains

Despite a touch of weakness across the day, the VIX was itself weak, settling -0.4% @ 12.87. Near term outlook is for the VIX to remain in the 14/11 zone. It continues to look increasingly unlikely that the VIX will be breaking above 20 in the next down wave of late Jan/early February.

Summary

Next to nothing to add on the VIX.

If sp'1850s later this week..or early next, then VIX will surely drop into the low 12s/11s..at least briefly.
