VIX Volatility 1-Minute Chart Flash Crash 11/24/17; VIX Prints Historic Low at 8.56

One minutes before the early closing bell at 1 PM EST on Friday, 11/24/17, the day after Thanksgiving, the bottom falls out of volatility. At 12:59 PM, the VIX flash crashes -12% from 9.68 to 8.56 an all-time record low. One minute later, the VIX rocket launches skyward directly back to 9.68 then price staggers sideways ending at 9.65. Trading volume in the VXX ETF spikes hugely higher (novice traders should not play volatility ETF’s or any 3x ETF’s since they will only take your money). VXX ends the session at 31.64.

This is a significant event in market history occurring in real-time. The VIX volatility fear gauge prints the lowest number ever at 8.56. The market behavior is becoming scary.

VIX ends the week at 9.65. The VIX prints an all-time low today at 8.56; an 8-handle!
