Interesting divergence. It could mean increasing demand for puts, even though the market was moving up. Usually, it works the other way. The demand for puts moves higher as the market moves lower.

In other words, many were skeptical about today's rally -- maybe due to nervousness about the expected earnings reports after the close.

Only one guess.

You're still paying the same premium for volatility as at 7/2 top. 7/2 VIX was about 20 and OEX 21-day volatility was about 15. Today, VIX is about 25 and OEX 21-day volatility is about 20.
