11am update - VIX acting weird..again

Whilst the main indexes are starting to show the underlying weakness again, the VIX is -5%, and is once again the anomaly of the day.


VIX'60min



Summary

Not sure what to make of it, other than the issue that since 'no crash Monday', there is once again no fear.
--

There IS a clear bull flag on the VIX hourly chart, we'll need a close >19.50 to confrim it.

UPDATE 11.15

Hmm..so..VIX seems content to level out around -5% @ 17.50. If that the down cycle is complete, then VIX should crawl higher, with a potential mini-explosion later today.

As noted, bears should be seeking a close >19.50 to confirm much lower levels in the indexes.
