Summary

Suffice to add... the second consecutive net weekly gain for the VIX, with the highest close since late September.

The weekly cycle is offering 28/29 for the Monday open. In theory, the 32/33s would be likely if the sp' lost the 1900 threshold.

VIX 40/50s are unlikely in the current down wave, but they do look due in the months ahead, as the sp' looks headed for the 1600s.
