Summary

Pretty incredible to see the VIX having been crushed from a high of 20.05 last Thursday afternoon, to the 11s.

This market sure can get super complacent extremely quickly.

Best guess... a moderate VIX pop to the gap zone.. at least to 14.75/15.25. The big 20 threshold looks out of range until late August.
