Right, but it is likely to drop significantly today. We could see a breakdown of VIX this week below the triangle - a fake move? This is a mega manipulative effort by the Fed, so I'd give it some time, as long as a few weeks, perhaps.
However, when it fails, a total melt will be on the way, because the Fed is almost completely out of ammo, both on the interest rates front and on their account facilities, exactly why we are seeing such a desperate effort. Note that decreased volatility in currencies will contribute to carry trade, which will now sell the dollar.
The big rally is risky and will be event-prone. Get on it early, and exit early. The easy trade was probably last week, as VIX will likely print 24 this morning -g- This is not the end of the crisis. We may see even more manipulation, but it will be very hard to stop the derivatives melt, even for Central banks. |
