VIX all-time low?
Right after the bell the VIX notched 8.56, and then jumped back up immediately. Not sure what causes that, and unless they retract it as a bad tick, it’s a new all-time low.

VIX is up today while SPX is also up. This has not been too unusual in the last year of soaring indices. If we can stay below 10.17 today, it will mean Upside Warning. That said, I feel comfortable with this distance OTM, as it will be easy to roll should the rally be strong.
