Signals are mixed. 感觉就像回到了周五收盘的原点。原油、VIX和国债，没有很强烈的空头信号。 但是下跌指示中比较强烈的信号是动能板块表现疲软，例如存储、芯片制造和加密货币等都表现疲弱。

各位下午好☺️ 期货已经开盘啦🌚 周五盘后的全部涨幅果然已经全部回吐，并且小幅下跌了0.6%，重新回到6500点以下。 令人担心的是 VIX开盘很高。这可能预示着进一步下跌的可能。 https://t.co/SlpHfODIKk

指数基本小低开，没有什么很大的波动。 那我们就看GTC，美股大盘可能在适应油价的波动。只要VIX没上去，可能没什么问题。看个股的情况。 https://t.co/BbaN08LkDp

每次你看到那几个vol house出来卖vol，你就知道vix要tmd去新高。

RT @ZeeContrarian1: 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐨𝐢𝐥, 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 $VIX 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤. This week will likely mark the peak of Iran-related fears. By n…

RT @labubu_trader: @KevinXInvest LOL, I have a similar chart to yours. Yes, VIX is in a rising channel like before. I'd wait for it to dip…

Fortunately, today we are not seeing a similar pattern to Wednesday. The VIX dipped and never recovered, losing the major level of 20. ES reclaimed 6920, and NQ was very close to the safe level. I closed most of my SPY/QQQ put hedge before the market close. https://t.co/4BRkgEsKdG

Great note. Robert did a much better job explaining VIX expiration and OPEX than me. His note is more predictable and actionable, while I’m only reacting to the volatility change passively.

As expected, the VIX dipped post-VIX expiration this morning. If there is no rebound by the end of the day, it will be a safe environment, meaning the market's fear has been released to some extent. If it rebounds from here before the market close, I will add my puts back. https://t.co/wUjplFNgKv

We need to watch the PM price action for VIX next Wednesday (02/18) and Friday If Feb vix expiration and OPEX can’t clear the vol, then I think VIX hits 25 and above is a very high probability event in the next few weeks.

VIX is very bullish today, after the NFP/CPI print this week, vix didn’t crash which means the market is still in the risk off sentiment. This is abnormal and you don’t even know what the market is fear of. So we might need a crash to clear the vol. https://t.co/vRLAIIAQlo

恭喜大家，股市又要开门哦🤤 期货市场VIX大幅走低，明天基本又是绿开。 https://t.co/Tjduoo98En

不乌鸦嘴了～ 两种交易仓位你们考虑觉得会不会平仓 1. long Semi short software 2. long goog short OAI 然后，关注vix，因为systemic position (vol control + cta)其实挺满的 “抗打”的下限高，看到其票稀里哗啦破位，有时候也挺爽的 btw 我是死多头，等goog“拯救”大家

大佬们，周末让你们茶饭不思的市场又开门了！ $VIX好高，有点虚弱.. https://t.co/XZTSpvL1ha

ok one hour passed and no sign of VIX bounce back. The alert is clear now. @david88lee
