it possible that an increase in prices will actually spike the vix/vxn?

Sure why not.
Personally I think the VIX VXN is going down to purposely suck time premium out of options. Perhaps the "intent" is to kill all options right into April expiry. I doubt we remain that non-volatile for another month however, but who knows.

Almost wondering if some sort of straddle is the way to go.
A sharp move down then back up could lead to a profitable position on both sides.

Options are cheap right now, except unfortunately for some stuff like ACF that I would like to buy long term puts on.
I hope they decrease or stay flat regardless of wich direction we go.
