$VIX, the CBOE Volatility Index, is expected to reach a 10 handle by the end of the quarter due to Vanna flows and upcoming holidays. VIX futures are down, potentially leading to a crush in implied volatility. The index is close to breaking under 12, hinting at a positive gamma environment and a possible dip-buying trend. It is nearing a new closing low, last seen in November 2019, with the potential to drop below 11 for the first time since August 2018.
$VIX is just a few pennies away from making a new closing low last seen on November 2019. And if it closes below 11, would be August 2018 since that happened. Fwiw.
