TVIX, UVXY - just another major fail

Summary

First, an update on how the VIX closed the week...

VIX looks set to remain in the 15/11 zone into mid/late January. Only then, is there the small chance that we might briefly see the low 20s - via the next debt ceiling concerns.

As for TVIX/UVXY..and indeed...the VXX, all look set to decay into January.

Seasonally, the equity bears/volatility bulls..simply have everything working against them.
