Since the tsunami V bottom, the slope at which the VIX oscillates has been steadily expanding. Since then, the market has increasingly become more bipolar.

It's interesting. We saw the opposite behavior at major lows.

Either way, we are way oversold by any bull market measures. Get ready for a massive 1 day rally :o

Hi Orange, Been thinking if you closed your longs from the 1270 area somewhere along the trip down, or if you are still holding? Just trying to figure style :)

Best to you.

Took my biggest one day loss ever the following day. Ditched any and all longs on the range breakdown.

You still thinking this is a bull market? If so, what do you use to measure a bull and a bear? Thanks in advance
