VIX'daily3
Summary
It was naturally an exceptionally subdued day in equity land, ahead of the three day Christmas break.
Its notable that the equity underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle continues to tick lower, and that increased downward pressure should present itself in lower prices, when the market re-opens next Tuesday.
VIX remains broadly subdued. At best.. if sp'2240/30s, that might equate to VIX 13s. Even the 14s look a stretch before end year. The key 20 threshold looks out of range for at least a month.
Goodnight from London
