WLD: Okay, let's dress up your 1996 chart and slap on some bollingers and a 14 day rsi. Now find what happens after we twice both hit the lower bollinger and 30 rsi during that year: stockcharts.com[w,a]declynay[d19950418,19960418][pb200!d20,2][iUe1,200,1!Ub14]&pref=G That is exactly where we are now.

the VIX trades in ranges, both up and down. it is actually fairly predictable when support and resistance levels are breached. it should trade to 19 from here. if that is breached, 17.5 is next to fall. historically, the VIX is still quite high. in fact, when extreme upside readings are obtained, it is typically followed by some flatline behavior. given, the multiple spikes seen in the recent past, is a prolonged period of flatlining next? that's where the trading "art" comes in to play.
