Summary

*first, an update on the weekly VIX chart...

-
As for TVIX and UVXY, it remains the case that with the VIX still broadly subdued, both instruments are suffering from the usual decay problem.

My guess is that VIX 20s are still some weeks away.. and for now, TVIX/UVXY both look problematic for holds longer than a few days.

*I am long VIX from 12.98... seeking an exit in the 16/17s next week.
