November Vix futures found new lows, after failing at the highs it saw the day after the Nov. FOMC announcement
Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles New lows here found yesterday, after the daily bounce topped out just under the Nov 3rd highs (day after the Nov FOMC announcement, like Nov. Vix)
22ish then 20 look to be the next "levels of support" but the daily RSI is still at levels where it historically bounces. Possible signal of changing of the guard to a lower vol environment though?
$DXY 3 months, daily candles
Big follow thru down , after getting crushed yesterday. Just like that, king dollar is now almost oversold on this daily timeframe. Daily and weekly downtrends now in play here.
TLT 3 months, daily candles
Massive volume, as big as what we saw around the recent lows from 10/21-10/24. Pushed above the 10/27 highs and broke the daily downtrend, but watching for some follow thru today.
