Volatility Index (India) breaks Mar 08 Low
What does this mean? This means that complaceny has reached an extreme and markets might be ready not to just make a multi week top, but multi month top for 2010.
The last update was done on 18 Oct . Nifty vs Vix India.
Investopedia explains VIX – CBOE Volatility Index. The first VIX, introduced by the CBOE in 1993, was a weighted measure of the implied volatility of eight S&P 100 at-the-money put and call options. Ten years later, it expanded to use options based on a broader index, the S&P 500, which allows for a more accurate view of investors’ expectations on future market volatility. VIX values greater than 30 are generally associated with a large amount of volatility as a result of investor fear or uncertainty, while values below 20 generally correspond to less stressful, even complacent, times in the markets.
