Not necessarily, VIX will usually go down Friday and up Monday to account for the market makers pricing in the weekend over the trading day. A VIX over 40 is very high historically and while we are stuck in this recent narrow trading range there is no reason to push up option prices. The VIX was higher than it should have been yesterday in fear of a large move today.Quote from razf1:
Can someone explain to me how VIX is down 1.3% when ES is down 1.5%? Isnt this bearish for remainder of the day?
