VIX Volatility Chart; Bull-Bear Battle is at 28.03-28.35


It is like the night before the start of the Gettysburg battle. A lonely harmonica softly plays Shenandoah in the distance, the solemn sound echoes along the dark hollow and into frightened minds. The battleground is set for tomorrow at VIX 28.03-28.35. VIX is at 26.41 in bull territory pumping the stock market higher, however, it is only a buck and a half from danger. Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!

The Keystone Speculator's VIX 200-Day MA Signal dictates a bull versus bear market in the short term. The bulls are winning right now with the VIX below the 200-day MA at 28.03. The Keybot the Quant algorithm remains long but is champing at the bit to go short for one day running. The quant is tracking VIX 28.35 as the key bull-bear line in the sand. Thus, the danger zone is 28.03-28.35 where the wheels fall off the stock market bus.

If the VIX remains below 28.03 the bulls are whistling dixie as stocks remain elevated. If the VIX moves above 28.03, the wheels will fall off the stock market. You will visibly notice stocks dropping like rocks. If the VIX moves above 28.35, turn out the lights, the party's over. All good things must end as Willie says.
