VIX declined 13 days in a row after topping out on Dec 24. Yesterday was first Green Day. Friday could get ugly.

I looked at your chart recently and I agree that it is breaking out from what you described. Someone else in here though said that an ascending triangle was a precursor to sell off, so wasn't sure which of you was right.so noone else sees the upside breakout from ascending triangle ? could it be a fakeout ?
put most simply - daily trend is still decidedly up for now..
