What is VIX?

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) measures 30-day expected volatility of the S&P 500. Known as the "fear gauge," it rises during market uncertainty and falls during calm periods. Track VIX in real-time for market sentiment insights.

VIX Trading Levels

VIX below 20 indicates low volatility and market confidence. Levels 20-30 suggest moderate uncertainty. Above 30 signals high fear, while extreme spikes above 40 occur during market crises. Monitor these thresholds for trading opportunities.

VIX ETFs & Futures

Trade volatility through VIX futures and ETFs like VXX, UVXY (leveraged long), and SVXY (inverse). Note these products track VIX futures, not spot VIX, leading to contango decay over time. Best suited for short-term volatility plays.
