$VIX closed the last week below 12, something not happening since 2019
Can it go lower? Sure it can, $VIX All Time Low was 8.56 on Friday 24 Nov 2017… Few months before Volmageddon that triggered in February 2018 ⚠️
Beware, $VIX is like a spring, the more and the longer is… https://t.co/f29dYyuaZh pic.twitter.com/2JZz8TidRh

The $VIX index has plummeted below 12 for the first time since November 2019.
In other words, an appetite for hedging against stock market drop is the LOWEST in years.
