I am looking at the XIV because I find the SPY gives too many whipsaw signals.

Recent retests of bottoms have led to retracements greater than 61.8% of the rally up.  Maybe 186 on the SPY as a minimum target?  That's the 61.8% retracement.  If it goes beyond that like the other ones, it should get down to around 185 which is the body of the daily bar when the SPY bottomed in January.

This is a chart of a bunch of volatility indices combined together with some EMAs to show crossovers up and down.  It still shows that volatility is being bought which is bad for the market.
