60-Day Point of Control (POC)

Volume-profile midpoint — the VIX level with the most time spent over 60 trading days.

How to Use VIX Levels

Reading the Levels

  • Support levels (below spot) are where VIX tends to bounce. When VIX approaches support, volatility is likely near a short-term floor.
  • Resistance levels (above spot) are where VIX tends to stall. A rejection at resistance often signals a volatility peak.
  • The POC (Point of Control) is where VIX spends most of its time. Price tends to revert toward this level — it acts as a magnet.

Regime Playbook

LOW <15 Complacency. Markets are calm. Consider hedging — cheap options, low VIX ETF prices. Surprises move markets fast from here.
NORMAL 15-20 Healthy range. Use levels to time entries — buy equities when VIX hits resistance (fear peak), trim when VIX hits support (complacency).
HIGH 20-30 Elevated fear. Watch for VIX to stall at resistance — that's often where equity bottoms form. Contrarian buying opportunity.
EXTREME >30 Panic selling. Historically the best time to buy equities. Wait for VIX to roll over from resistance before going all-in.

Equity Plays on VIX Spikes
SPY S&P 500 ETF
Core
QQQ Nasdaq 100 ETF

TQQQ 3x Nasdaq 100

VIX spikes = equity dips. Buy SPY/QQQ when VIX hits resistance and rolls over. TQQQ for aggressive plays on VIX mean-reversion.

Leveraged and inverse products decay over time and are for short-term trades, not buy-and-hold. This is educational, not financial advice.
