After creeping higher for much of the back half of August, the Volatility Index (VIX) reversed lower on Tuesday and kept going… nearly 5 points lower in 4 days. And with that, we have an equity breakout and new highs on the year.
That said, this breakdown looks sharp and fast, similar to the March drop that led to Spring equity highs/topping pattern. Enjoy the ride, but remember to trade with discipline.
