$VIX Red lines are the major resistances. I view them as buying points for equities. We are approaching the first one. Buy the fear.

$VIX $SPY 19,000 troops have been sent to the Middle East in the past 2 weeks. NYT report planned strikes by Israel and US will dramatically increase in intensity after the midterms. Something is brewing

$VIX >> Simplified setup: Bullish above 17 Bearish below 15 That said 14 is the buy zone 18 is the sell zone stuck in a range downside is capped at 14 / not likely to drop below upside above 18/19 gets interesting the next big market pullback will likely correlate with $VIX spiking above 19 $SPY $SPX $VXX $QQQ

$VIX >> Daily Chart >> Look at the July spike above the moving averages and the pullback that followed Notice the other 400 SMA resistance tests led to pullbacks $VIX was telling us the market could have a multi day bounce after spiking above the moving averages then dropping back below the 400 SMA $SPY $SPX $VXX $SVXY

🔮 DÉJÀ VU: October 2025 Is Repeating October 10 — $VIX spiked 32% making SPY drop 18 points October 13 — A little relief bounce, VIX dropped 12% making $SPY bounce 10 points October 16 — VIX bounced again 23% making SPY drop 4.5 points October 17 — VIX dropped 18% making SPY bounce 3.75 points October 20 — VIX dropped another 12% making SPY bounce 7 points Same script this year. Relief bounce first, which we might get on October 19th Monday before another leg down. But I ain't betting on it instead staying cash heavy.

$VIX back above 20 (20.09, +22% today, hit 22.31 intraday). Fear is rising. $QQQ -2.7% to ~708.50, slipping under its 3-week low (~710). $SPY -1.2%. Plan: smaller size, wider stops. No knife catching on $QQQ. Waiting for a higher low / reclaim of 710 before any long. Defensive names like $PG holding up better. Not financial advice.

$VIX at 15.68 continues to be the bull/bear pivot level. A hold below pushes $SPY higher and shares that have been outperformning on the session - $INTC a case in point. Solid all during the sell-off , thus one would presume it will be robust if $SPY gains some traction here. Lot's of overhead price structure however in $SPY.

The last 3 times $VIX approached backwardation, volatility backed off for the months to come.

That's what we saw on October 20, 2025 - The Failed $VIX Spike VIX bounced 2.4% to 21.02 and then failed to hold green and closed 12% down at 18.23 $SPY on the other end closed +7 points. When a VIX spike fails at the open, the bounce is real. Keep an eye 👀

$VIX $SPY The VIX appears to be transitioning from a prolonged period of volatility compression toward a potentially higher-volatility regime. Since August, repeated tests of the 14.2 - 14.5 area failed to generate sustained downside follow-through, while momentum troughs gradually improved and volatility floors began rising. Subsequent volatility spikes, improving momentum readings, and the recent move above the recent 17.8 resistance cluster region suggest a meaningful change in character may be occurring beneath the surface. While this does not guarantee a major volatility expansion, the evidence increasingly supports the view that volatility conditions are stabilizing at higher levels and warrant closer monitoring from a risk-management perspective.

$VIX >> Daily Chart >> On Friday I said $VIX was back in the 14-15 buy zone This has led to volatility spikes Yesterday I said $VIX gets interesting above the 100 SMA @ 16.42 & to look out for a volatility spike Today's close above the 100 SMA does make things interesting The 200, 300, & 400 SMAs have been the top of bounces When u see a break above the 400 SMA @ 18.64 & $VIX closes above the market could experience a major rug pull Once above the 400 SMA the key 🔑 is to short volatility once there's a drop back below If there's a drop back below the 100 SMA it would signal possible market bounce and reversal $SPY $SPX $VXX $QQQ

This is fair. But $VIX hasn’t surpassed the 20s yet. $ASTS’s price could potentially drop in the 30s range if the feds bring the rates up at the end of October. There’s also a strong chance rates are kept steady, so don’t fucking panic sell. Maybe panic buy if volatily is up? All it’s going to take is for a successful launch to help $ASTS rebound. As for their earnings in November? $ASTS is a speculative stock w/ a large capex. Earnings won’t mean shit until $ASTS can sell more of their services to their customers which is the launches are, so damn important.
