"Comparison is the thief of joy."

Since I posted this chart of VX3M:VIX ratio, warning clients Mon & Tues that I was expecting it to fall and pull down markets, I wanted to share some thoughts on how it differs from the August 5th low, even if it ultimately fell to the same place.

From Monday:

“My VIX3M/VIX ratio is forming a bearish head & shoulders pattern that will trigger as it falls/stays below 1.20.”

To now:

They may look similar, but they couldn’t be more different… and please notice how SPX hasn’t caught down to this ratio, yet.
