5 Global Charts For Active Investors – February 7

5.  VIX Volatility Index – A little too quiet… 

The CBOE VIX Volatility Index (INDEXCBOE:VIX) continues to test the lows.  Signals from the futures curve (VIX vs VXV), rate of change (ROC) and Stochastics (STO) and position vs 200 day moving average all suggest a low point is in and the odds for a move higher are rising.

The weekly equity sentiment poll is also continuing to show a divergence vs the VIX, and this is the kind of divergence that will usually close at some point or other.  Overall technical view: All signals point rising odds of a VIX spike.
