The FANGs were up yesterday and sharply into the close by 2 points in the last hour.  They comprise a good percentage of the market's capitalization.

A low relative VIX is bullish - for the VIX. Low would be .60-.75 or so. High meaning buy stocks has traditionally been over 1.7. Its around 1 now which I think is inconclusive. I did a study of relative VIX (which I used to swear by) and I found no reliable correlation.

 

But the current VIX trend lines, those are of interest. In the chart below the main line of interest is a declining one that used to be a line of resistance, when it was broken to the upside, we got the market dump. Now it is a line of support as you can see. 

 

Also of interest are the MACD trend lines, we now seem to be paying attention to the long parallel lines. Before it was a set of converging lines.

Or the VIX is about 10 points above actual volatility or 3-4 standard deviations outside the bands.

Mark's observation seem to align with my call for much higher prices from here... just saying.

 

Small caps leading the way... RUT weekly making new ATHs again.

Relative to it's own 200-day SMA. It's an old indicator. It's one of those things that doesn't give a signal for a coon's age, and then it does. For what it's worth, I've done well with it, in context with other indicators. A relatively high VIX is motive to rally the market, unless we're in a complete panic.
