VIX continues to cool

With US equities closing significantly higher for the third consecutive day, the VIX remained in cooling mode (intra low 21.83), settling -7.5% @ 22.31. Near term outlook remains broadly bullish to the sp'1950/65 zone.. which will likely equate to VIX 20... if not a brief foray to the 19/18s.
