VIX Volatility Daily Chart

Two numbers bear watching for the VIX; the 13.83 and 14.15 levels. The VIX 200-day MA is a valuable signal line that dictates bullish versus bearish markets over the short term. The VIX is 12.25 at two-month lows well under the 200-day MA at 13.83 so the bulls are cruising. Market bears got nothing unless the VIX moves above 13.83.

Keybot the Quant algorithm remains long the market and the model is tracking VIX 14.15 as a major market directional force currently. So bears actually need to move VIX above 14 and above 14.15 to kick any market selling into high gear. If the VIX remains under 13.83, the bulls are gliding into Thanksgiving without a care in the world. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
