CBOE VIX Volatility Index approaches two-month high amid pullback in equities.

The CBOE VIX (NYSEARCA:VXX) surged on Tuesday, as stocks posted their biggest drop of the year, a sign the Trump-inspired rally was coming unhinged.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index rose 10% to 12.47, the highest settlement since late February. The so-called "fear index" took off as the equities rally transitioned to a selloff during the morning hours.

Gains pushed the VIX into a more advantageous trading range, with the Relative Strength Index climbing to the mid-50s and the MACD returning to positive territory. The fear index has failed to generate consistent momentum following the November 8 election.



The S&P 500 Index (NYSEARCA:SPY) declined 1.2% on Tuesday.
