An Expansion on the Trend of $VIX Buy Signal (Preview)
By Lawrence G. McMillan
The new trend of $VIX buy signal is the third one in the last year. The $VIX chart from Figure 4 is reproduced here, without the “spike peak” buy signals, so we can discuss these trend of $VIX signals.
First some background: a trend of $VIX buy signal occurs on the first day when both the 20-day Moving Average of $VIX and $VIX itself are below the 200-day Moving Average. Conversely, on the first day that they are both above the 200-day MA, that is a sell signal.
