​​The Situation

​

​​​​In times of almost zero confidence from investors and speculators, it is interesting 
​to check the relationship between the VIX index and the SP500.

The spot VIX closed On August 24 at 40.74, well above the average 
​long term​ volatility level​( the 200 DMA is at ​15.11 ) ​but ​coming from the 
​almost the lowest level ​of the past year ​reached on August 5 at 
​10.88 ( from a low ever reached on​July 3rd 2014 at 10.28 ).
The Market shift from a Fearless to Panic very quickly.​

​​Take note that seasonalities was for a stronger VIX getting into August. ( Seasonalities - see 2nd chart below ).
​​
​​At those level, there is Extreme Fear being priced into the Market and into the Market Participants sentiment.
The ​​​​ Fear and Greed Index from CNN Money as of August 24 is at the Extreme Fear Level and also fully reflected by the VIX Index...
​
​But the most interesting factor s is that the VIX broke a Major Resistance Trendline from a Falling Wedge Pattern that started back in December 2014.​​ ​( See 1st chart below - bottom of the chart - red trendlines - ellipse)


Also observe that the SP500 index is broke a Major Support Trendline from a Rising Wedge that started on February 25 2015.
​( First Chart Below - Bottom Blue Trenlines ).
