Yes, the Russell 2000 has been the leader of the indexes on certain days lately, and the TF contract has been a pretty viable contract to trade.

Now S&P/VIX is about 69.80 at 1:20 pm(ET), as i write.....hu i think Other indices pulled S&P into overbought area. So, now im looking at Russell 2000 index.

I've seen VIX mostly as a sentiment indicator for that particular day as well. As soon as the evening session starts it is often ignored, and then goes the other way for a day, two or three. Lately the market has pretty quick mood swings fairly often--choppy.

SPX/VIX should be around Level 70 or something like that.

Callum, I like Birinyi's frecasting - he's been very bullish and made some good calls but we can't ignore that when the VIX is low like now then sentiment is overly optimistic - I'm looking for a pullback in the equity markets shortly and agree with Ashraf that the markets are overextended. Also RSI above 70 - could hit 80 before a pullback occurs (based on last 2 years' chart of S&P)

@Ginger, the SPX @1170 looks pretty achievable.

VIX down another 5% today as I write - now at 16.88 close to the Jan 10 lows. Ratio climbs relentlessly, now at 69 - surely this rise can't continue much longer

The ratio has now broken above 66 and bulls are in full command it seems - I was expecting a sell-off today in the S&P but may be the next few days (Friday? with options expiry) will be the start of a rise in the VIX towards 20 level and beyond (VIX only needs another 3% fall to be at its Jan 10 low of 16.9 - equates to S&P of c. 1170)
