🚨📈🔥 Volatility Spike Fades, Bulls Hold the Line 🔥📈🚨$VIX jolted awake this week, hitting its highest levels since April. U.S.–🇨🇳 flare-ups, $ZION and $WAL loan jitters, and a certified gold rush stirred the tape, yet major indexes held firm with solid weekly gains. The weekly candle suggests October’s volatility burst may be fading; historically, spikes topping in the 28.30–30.80 zone have reversed, with August 2024’s surge to 65.73 the lone outlier.
VIX has slid from 29 to 21, $SPX is holding above 6650, and $QQQ remains above 600, reinforcing market resilience. With FOMC on October 28–29 and no fresh data this month, I’m sitting 95% in cash, keeping my powder dry to avoid unnecessary drawdowns. Today’s Nasty VIX Crush Friday™ perfectly sums up the tape: fear spikes are being sold hard.
👉❓Are we seeing a seasonal fake-out setting the stage for a Santa melt-up, or the calm before the next fear leg?

- Tui Jude·2025-10-20TOP📈🔥That VIX crush from 29 down to 21 was wild. It’s exactly the kind of washout that forces hedges to unwind fast. I’m watching how $QQQ trades into the FOMC window because staying above 600 here could be the key to a Santa Rally kicking off early.2Report
- PetS·2025-10-20TOP🚀💰That Nasty VIX Crush Friday really shows how aggressively traders are fading fear spikes. It’s smart sitting mostly in cash right now. I’m watching $ZION and $WAL for any follow-through next week since those jitters added fuel to the spike earlier in the week.3Report
