What's the point of using fancy indicators ratios such as the VVIX/VIX ratio, when you can simply use the VIX, or the S&P itself?

As the WhatsApp snapshot shows, the idea is to observe the higher lows in the VVIX/VIX index. This means the VVF low from this week is higher than the VVE low of mid-March. This is similar to the lows in March and May of 2021, when VVB and VVD coincided with crucial bottoms in LowB and LowD respectively.
For a detailed overview on how to use the VVIX/VIX, watch this video.
Tying the fundamental rationale to the aforementioned thesis, could be supported by Beijing's latest vow to stimulate the economy ahead of May Day Holiday, a dovish 50-bp rate hike from the Fed and propagation of forward-looking optimism by Apple and Meta Platforms.
