TVIX, daily


Summary

First, a look at the daily VIX



VIX has conclusively broken outside of the down channel, and looks like it has a pretty secure floor in the low 13s. Daily VIX chart offers the 17s as early as tomorrow, that's a good 25% higher.

For TVIX, VIX 17s would probably equate to at least $3.40/50.
