VIX DID NOT LIE SO FAR: The VIX chart we warned about in yesterday's IMT http://chart.ly/94xpw7 showing a BULLISH Gap DOWN (bullish means that close was higher than open and down means the open was lower than the previous days low) led to further gains today, translating into falling equities and a rising JPY. USD did end little changed vs EUR and GBP but was able to drag down GOLD, to 1,124 after yesterdays failed rally above the 61.8% retracement of 1,168. Gold vulnerable to 1,110, followed by 1070.
