The Most Likely Path Forward
Hey, Ross here! This chart reveals how the Volatility Index (VIX) typically behaves after a major spike—like the one we saw on Wednesday. Historically, the VIX tends to settle down in the days following such jumps, and a calmer VIX often signals better days for the markets. We saw this play out after the August 5 selloff, and it could happen again. No guarantees, of course—but the odds seem to favor us. I break it all down in today’s insight.
