Summary

*first, an update on the weekly VIX

-
VIX looks set for a very powerful upward move into September. The 20s look a given, the only issue is arguably how high might a capitulation spike be? 25s look possible, the 30s look a tough challenge.. and even if hit.. will likely last mere hours.

As for TVIX and UVXY.. as almost always remains the case.. holding for more than a few days rarely works out well.
