I lost confidence in VIX a few years ago... but SentimentTrader has good stuff, may be right:

The fear gauge triggered a buy signal for stocks
Key points:

The Volatility Index (VIX) reversed from the upper end of its 84-day range, triggering a buy signal for stocks
Similar shifts in volatility preceded a rally in the S&P 500 with above-average returns across several horizons
Precedents that occurred in October or in a long-term uptrend show similar bullish outcomes
A bullish shift in expected volatility

Over the course of a typical stock market correction, volatility, sentiment, and price-based indicators generally follow a repeatable pattern. Volatility surges, sentiment indicators reflect pessimism and price-based measures become oversold.

As the corrective phase wanes, the pendulum...

HOUSING STARTS could be much lower...and - most importantly - a jittery unstable MidEast on the verge of military escalation:

My FF is lower, possibly below ES 4200... then rally.

Adam Mancini (@AdamMancini4) posted at 11:12 AM on Sat, Oct 14, 2023:

After 5 red weeks, #ES_F has put in its 1st green week; caused by reclaiming its bull market trendline from Oct 2022 at 4320. Now, bulls must hold

Plan: 4345, 4320-25=support. As long as 4320 lowest holds the next leg targets 4400, dip, 4477. 4320 fails, new lows to 4230 likely https://t.co/890SYIZdTg

"...But here is an index that represents the median stock, closing last week at the lowest levels in a year.

If you want to be a subpar investor, then own the median stock.

It's simple.

The median stock, according to the Value Line Geometric Index, has made zero progress in 25 years.

So if you're focused on the median stock, then of course you think it's a bear market.

But when you understand how the best strategies own more of the best stocks and little or none of the worst stocks, you'll quickly see how this is just a perfectly normal bull market.

Is it one of the strongest Year 1s of a bull market? No, it's actually one of the worst Year 1s on record. But a weaker bull market doesn't necessarily make it a bear market.

Also, I encourage you to go back and look. There's no evidence that a weaker Year 1 of a bull has any impact on the performance of Year 2.

So at this point, it doesn't even matter.

We want to look forward. And so we want to own the best names as we get ready for the strongest time of the year to own equities"
