The Quiet Climb in Volatility 📈 The Chart Report

Chart of the Day   

🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Jason Leavitt. 

Since the start of the year, the Volatility Index (VIX) has formed a series of higher lows, with upside capped near 23.

This has coincided with a choppy market, as each burst of volatility has preceded sharp equity pullbacks.

Just two weeks ago, the VIX snapped its longest consecutive weekly advance since Covid, reinforcing the persistence of elevated volatility. 

The Takeaway: The VIX continues to press higher, with a move above 23 increasing the downside risk for equities.
