$VIX hit 16.50 as the highest close all month—now tracking toward the lowest monthly close since November 2024.
Volatility crushed. Complacency mode activated. Everyone's betting on smooth sailing, which historically means we're due for a shake.
When $VIX gets this quiet, it doesn't stay quiet. Watch for the snap back—vol spikes are vicious when they come. If you're long tech or AI names, hedge accordingly. If you're a vol trader, this setup screams mean reversion play.
Low $VIX = market thinks nothing bad can happen. That's usually when something does.
