Here is a 3-year look at $VVIX with occurrences marked with vertical blue lines where it was as uncorrelated as it is now (-0.75 or greater). You can see that evcen when this occurred near a top in the market, it often didn't occur immediately. I marked the occurrence in Jan 2020 with a thicker line, because $VVIX price was about what it is now.
