The Curl Before the Spike

14 Eyl 2021

I see this pattern going back for years
The lower level of the VIX curls in an upward trend until it reaches a boiling point and we get a big spike
Sometimes the spikes are big, sometimes they are small
The biggest spikes ( ie S&P crashes) usually happen when the VIX curl starts lower, around 11
The current curl started at around 15

Not

The VIX still has not dropped below the Curl
We may still be in for a big spike
