VIX'daily3
Summary
The past five days of price action are likely forming a small equity bear flag. As of late Friday, we'll have provisional confirmation of the flag, with a move <2140.
VIX opened in the 14s, and flash-printed a low of 13.87. Another increase in volatility seems a given within the near term, at least to the 17/18s... probably the 20/22 zone.
The ultimate issue is whether we see the very bearish sp'2050s.. with VIX launching to the mid/upper 20s. Right now, that still seems difficult.
Goodnight from London
