Volatility remains.. volatile

With strong equity gains in the morning, the VIX was ground lower (intra low 15.94)... but with renewed equity weakness.. the VIX strongly rebounded, settling +8.4% @ 20.08. Near term outlook is offering the 22/25 zone, along with sp'2000.

Summary

*a notable fourth consecutive daily net gain for the VIX
--

Suffice to say.. a pretty dynamic day for the VIX, knocked lower... but with a very strong latter day rebound.

With a daily close above the key 20 threshold, secondary target zone of 22/25 is now likely, before the broader equity market begins a new up wave into early 2015.

On any 'fair' outlook though, VIX looks set to max out next week.. and then cool into the new year.
