VIX is Climbing With the SPY

The VIX ended the day in the green with the other futures indices. This is a rare occurrence. A higher VIX indicates more a bearish stance by investors. Apparently, speculators are leaning slightly more bearish in the short term.

This could just be a fluke, but the fact that the VVIX index closed in the red shows that investors are less bearish towards the VIX. This is another indication that investors are growing more bearish.

The market is leaning slightly more bearish after the VIX closed the week in the green last week. Perhaps speculators are thinking that there will be a big profit taking moment after the massive rally in heavy weighted allocations of the major indices. After a very sharp rally, the selling that follows can be substantial sometimes.

Another fact to keep in the back of your mind is how February is not a good month based on seasonal factors. There is usually a correction in the month of February. I believe VIX traders are anticipating another one this year.

As always, I am not a financial professional, and this is not investment advice. Be careful and be patient. Dont anticipate the market. Rather, participate in the market. Don't invest money that you can't afford to lose. Give some of your investments time and know when to cut your losses.

Don't be greedy. Don't invest in anything you don't understand. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Don't listen to the hype. Don't fomo or panic into or out of trades. Do your own due diligence. And just follow the trends. A trend is your friend. Good luck trading.
