VIX SD Level

VIX SD Level — 20Y Daily Close by Day

Signal Start
VIX 35+ is treated as the start of a stress signal. It sits just below +2 SD in the fixed model.

Higher SD bars indicate stronger volatility stress: +3 is panic, +5 and above is crisis-type volatility.
Fixed Model
SD = (VIX − 20) / 8. The chart is capped from −2 to +10 so extreme volatility spikes remain visible without clipping.
S&P Realized Vol vs VIX
Compares the option market's expected 30-day volatility with realized S&P 500 volatility. High positive premium means fear is priced above recent movement.

VIX above realized volatility means the options market is pricing future stress above recent S&P movement.
Signal Zone
Signal when VIX − RV20 is above 10 and VIX/RV20 is above 1.25. Stronger after selloffs when realized volatility starts cooling.
Model
RV20 uses 20 daily log returns, annualized by sqrt(252). Premium = VIX − RV20.
Signal Logic
Best setup is a high positive premium after market stress: VIX remains elevated while realized volatility starts stabilizing. Negative premium means realized movement is larger than implied fear.

Upper-Tail Spike
A daily VIX jump above the selected percentile marks a volatility shock. It often appears near equity stress or forced hedging pressure.

A daily VIX drop below the lower percentile marks a sharp volatility unwind. It can confirm relief, but after extended rallies it may also mean complacency.

VIX + S&P 500 Same Direction Streak
Counts consecutive daily closes where VIX and S&P 500 move in the same direction. Normally VIX rises when equities fall; repeated same-direction days flag unusual cross-asset behavior and a less clean volatility/equity relationship.

VIX Term Structure — Contango / Backwardation
The relationship between VIX (30-day) and VIX3M (93-day) reveals the market's near-term fear regime. Contango (VIX3M > VIX) = calm. Backwardation (VIX > VIX3M) = fear/panic, often marks a local bottom.
CONTANGO — CALM REGIME
VIX Term Structure — 3Y History · Spread Below
VIX
VIX3M

Contango — Normal
VIX3M trading above spot VIX. Market expects future uncertainty is priced further out. Favorable for trend-following and long exposure.
Backwardation — Fear
Near-term vol spikes above longer-term expectations. Often marks a local bottom as panic peaks. Contrarian buy signal when extreme (<−5).
Signal Use
A rising positive spread usually supports trend-following. Negative spread signals stress; deeply negative readings often appear near panic lows.
VIX/VIX3M Ratio — Contango vs Backwardation
VIX divided by VIX3M. A ratio below 1 means normal contango, where 3-month implied volatility trades above spot VIX. A ratio above 1 means backwardation, where near-term fear is higher than the forward curve.

Backwardation

Contango
Ratio below 1 means the curve is upward sloping. This is the normal volatility regime and generally supports trend-following conditions.

20D Breadth Thrust — Stocks Above 20-Day MA
% of S&P 500 stocks above their 20-day moving average. A Breadth Thrust fires when this reading jumps from below 15% to above 80% within 15 trading days — indicating explosive broad-based buying across the entire market, not just index-level moves.

Explosive breadth expansion. Market participation surged across all sectors. Avg 3-month forward return after confirmed thrust: +12%. Very low false-positive rate.
Setup Zone (Below 15%)
Deeply oversold breadth. If a thrust initiation occurs here, watch the next 15 trading days closely for a push above 80% to confirm the full signal.

Method
Uses current S&P 500 constituent histories and closing-price 12M highs, so older history is survivorship-biased.
New 52W Lows — S&P 500 Breadth
10-day average of the percentage of current S&P 500 constituents trading at 12-month closing lows. Red background marks periods above the 4% stress threshold; green marks normal breadth regimes.

Narrow Leadership — 52W Highs vs Lows
S&P 500 breadth divergence model. It flags periods where new 52-week lows are elevated while new 52-week highs fail to confirm, especially when the index is still holding up. This captures narrow mega-cap leadership and weakening participation beneath the surface.

Narrow Leadership
New lows expand while new highs fade and the index remains supported. That usually means fewer large-cap winners are masking broader internal weakness.
Contained Breadth Stress
New lows below the stress line or balanced new highs/lows indicate the divergence is not yet strong enough to flag narrow leadership.
Signal Logic
Signal requires new lows at or above 5%, new lows exceeding new highs, and S&P 500 price not materially breaking down over the prior 10 sessions.
Hindenburg Omen — S&P 500 Breadth
Breadth divergence model using S&P 500 New 52W Highs and New 52W Lows. A signal requires both highs and lows above 2.2%, new highs no more than 2x new lows, and a rising S&P 500 50D trend.

Large groups of stocks are making both 52W highs and 52W lows while the index trend is still rising. That divergence warns of fragile market internals.

Contango (Spread >0)
Normal/oversupply regime. Futures trade at premium to spot. Bearish WTI price direction. Bearish CAD, supportive JPY. Watch for CADJPY reversal on Hormuz opening.
Near-Zero Spread
Market in equilibrium. Transition zone — watch for breakout. Near-zero spread often precedes a move to one extreme or the other within 2–4 weeks.
Backwardation (Spread <−1)
Front month trades at a premium to the second month. Below −1 signals tight near-term supply; below −3.5 is historic stress and should be treated as an extreme backwardation regime.
FX Impact (Apr 2026)
Hormuz closure → extreme backwardation → CAD strongest G10 since Feb 28. CADJPY up 12% past 12M. EIA peak forecast $115/b Q2 = further CADJPY upside if sustained.
