Summary

*first, an update on the VIX, which saw an extreme net weekly gain of 64.7%.


--
As for TVIX/UVXY... the bearish multi-week run comes to an abrupt end.. with massive gains.

With equities breaking below the Nov' low of sp'2019, TVIX and UVXY both broke above their mid Nov' high.. as should be the case.. even with the underlying decay problem.

--
Best guess... VIX to climb/hold the mid/upper 20s.. .but then rapidly cooling into quad-opex.. and probably all the way into early 2016.
