What to look for in the week to come... the $DIX closed quite elevated at 47.5%. ⬇️
Over the next week the S&P500 returned 1.46% on average compared to anytime returns of .31% in the past ~decade. A elevated $DIX did not preclude short term risk capping out at about -5%, historically. ImageImage
In the intermediate term this has been overwhelmingly bullish with the S&P returning 9% over the next 60 trading days with the 5th percentile return at 0%. Image
It's should be considered that $DIX is usually elevated during period of high realized volatility (1) and usually after large drops, and we are miles from that currently with monthly realized vol at 12% and actually declining on the week despite ending lower (2). ImageImage
Moving on.... $VIX index term structure remains near flat, closing the week exactly the same spot as last week and nearly flat at (.9)... Meaning we should expect more volatility than usual.
And Implied-realized spreads remain high but haven't really "spiked" yet on this move as we saw occur many times in 2020. Shown is $VIX-YangZhang Realized vol with the 5 period Rate of Change Below filtered between 5 and 8 points change on the week. Last week close 1.7pts. Image
Lot's of people have now covered this week seasonal tendencies @QuantifiablEdgs @SJD10304 and have highlighted that it is a pretty terrible weak seasonally, ending the week down the overwhelming majority of the time.
Taking a look at the sectors, $XLK was one of the weaker sectors trading higher only 8 of 22 years for trading week 38 for mean and median returns of -2% and -.22% respectively. Image
Thanks and have a great week all. All charts, backtests, etc produced with tradewell.app

The ratio of $VIX: 3M VIX is in steep contango, closing .80 on Friday [1] and dropping clues to the next market moves. Historically when contango has been this steep, $VIX has gone⬆️over the following month by 15% Vs. anytime $VIX returns* of 3% [2] ~Super~ Bearish right? ImageImage
*Sorry if $VIX % Returns make you mad.

Over the following month $VIX ended higher 75.9% of the time. So what did $VIX futures do...

$VXX returned on average -5.27% during the same time period compared to it's anytime return of -3.55%. Contango at work.
And how about the S&P500 ETF $SPY?

It was consistently some of the least volatile action over the following 1 month compared the anytime $SPY returns.

So if you were looking to get all bear'd up, you might have to look elsewhere! ImageImage
