I think it might be headed back up.  VIX went down with the Dow down over half a percent which means put sellers are back.  TLT went up 1% today.  I would think it would sort of back down a little.  1% up day for treasuries is pretty significant.  VIX backing down to around 11 with TLT backing down with low volume would be a tremendous setup for entering positions for another bearish phase in the stock market.

VIX contango from May to June is now around 1.5%.  I think this should increase while the market does this bounce.  VXX's decline should slow in the coming days.  When the VIX contango gets to 5% with spot VIX around 11-12, I think things will get interesting.
