Whilst the indexes closed somewhat mixed, the VIX failed to hold the opening gains of 4%, settling -3.4% @ 13.75. Near term outlook is for the VIX to remain in a tight 15/12 zone. The key 20 threshold is probably out of range for at least another month or so.

Little to add. VIX is merely trundling around in a rather tight range, whilst equities continue to generally climb.
