tim - candlestick on the VIX. At first sight, this is an abandonned baby or morning star.
In order to be bullish,this formation should appear at the end of a downtrend. Which it is not.
We had a one week rebound (Oct 3-10).
So this lessens the reliablity.

I prefer to analyze volatility on the volatility stockcharts.com[S,A]DACLYYMY[DA][PD20,2!A30!A20][VC60][ILD20!LO20] . ( lvlamb.itgo.com
VIX touched the 20 DMA of the Bollinger band and closed lower.
(VXN also did, btw stockcharts.com[s,a]daclyymy[da][pd20,2!a70!a40][vc60][ild17!lo17] ).
CCI and StochRSI left the buy zone (inverse to market = sell ) and are in my "abstain" zone.

Summary, my $0.02 is: wait for the VIX to price significantly above or below the 20 dma to have a trend indication. This confirms, for what I am concerned, the lesser reliability of the candles.
