Summary
*a notable reversal doji daily candle to end the week... suggestive of renewed VIX upside next Monday.
-
Suffice to add, the VIX remains broadly subdued, but it would seem we have a key mid term floor of 13.00 - with sp'2075.
Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) on the giant weekly cycle is offering a key turn. At the current rate, the VIX will have strong upside potential no earlier than May.
