--
As for TVIX and UVXY, whilst the VIX remains stuck in the mid/low teens, the underlying issue of decay is causing serious problems for those holding across multiple weeks.

The month of June does offer VERY high threat of renewed equity downside (if only to the mid sp'1900s), with an associated spike in volatility.

On any basis, the VIX remains on the very low end of the cycle, and so TVIX/UVXY have a fair chance of sig' upside across the coming month.

Long term of course, both will see further reverse splits.. as is inevitable for almost all leveraged instruments.
