With equities rising for a sixth consecutive day, the VIX was naturally lower for the sixth day, settling -0.45% @ 13.19 (intraday low 12.90). Near term outlook is for the VIX to trundle within the 15/12 zone until next Wednesday's FOMC.

Summary
*the daily closing candle was a reversal (hollow red) candle, but I can't take it particularly seriously. With 3 sig' QEs due across the next 5 trading days, equity bulls have just about everything in their favour.

It remains a market without any fear. Indeed, it remains notable that the VIX only reached 17.85 in the last cycle - well below the early Feb' spike high of 21.48.
Right now, the 20s look ever distant, probably until June.
