    TimeBandit would you please give a short explanation of this chart?  I've seen Matt use it, but I don't remember the criteria.  Thank you

    If I remember correctly, the short version is If $VVIX CLOSES above 110, it usually leads to a decline in the market. Someone correct me if I am wrong. 

    That is the signal. But

    That is the signal. But it worked really well in a bull market. Not sure it translates here because we’re in a bear market, and I have no experience with it in a bear. I noted it, because it’s the first time in a long while that the signal has fired. Or will if it’s over 110 at the close

    That said, Steve’s advice is best: focus on price

    guys regarding the VVIX and the 110 vomma level - I've discussed this before many times. The Vomma level is not set - that 110 level was good for about 1.5  - 2 years. I commented on this in the past stating that when looking over the history the vomma level appears to shift - it will settle on level important level for months to a year or longer, then it will shift to a new level. In the past I noted that 95 was the level for example - probably because we are in a bear market, in the bull market 110 was important. Now maybe it's 90 or something

    The 110 was very useful and important for a while, but that went away early this year and it's now at a new level (I don't know what that is but obviously much lower than 110. There's probably some way to calculate this 'Vomma' price level or figure out what the new Vomma price is, but I don't know how. 

    a project for one of you guys to look up and figure that out.

    otherwise the VVIX, like the VIX, prices outside the Bollinger bands are significant and something to watch - it mostly mirrors the VIX with that aspect, most of the time both the VIX and VVIX mirror each other exactly by going outside the Bollinger bands and then back inside. sometimes they differ by 1 day where the VIX or VVIX goes outside or back inside the bands first,  which is why I monitor both

    $VVIX is over 116  currently

    $VVIX is over 116  currently and well over the upper bands of both the 20,1.5 and 20,2.0 Bollinger Bands. It’s move up since Friday has been extremely strong: up 25-30% in three days. I would post a chart but am not at my computer
