How the VIX Volatility Index Could Key Trading Decisions in May

Your Chart of the Day is here! [image] April 17, 2023 How the VIX Volatility Index Could Key Trading Decisions for May The VIX Index, which tracks market volatility, is at an interesting spot heading into what is expected to be a volatile week filled with earnings and other economic news. Typically, in the area shown on the bottom right of this chart, the VIX makes a turnaround to the upside around this level. The question I have is whether or not the VIX will return to the pre-COVID levels shown on the bottom left, or if it will continue to bounce in the post-COVID area shown in the middle. Either way, a bounce in the VIX generally spells a move down in the S&P 500. The key to me is that we’re two weeks away from May, a month I project to see volatility pick up and knock the S&P 500 down, at least temporarily. This means I’ll keep my eye on VIX levels this week and throughout May. Maybe this will help you, too. [image] Think and win!
