Re: [RT] VIX Low - Reprise

Unfortunately I only have data back to 1995 on this setup.

Top is VXN, middle is NORMALIZED MACD which is a proxy
for VXN adjusted for average volatility over 104 weeks, and
bottom is SP cash.

Draw your own conclusions but mine say there ain't no screaming
crash coming.

There has typically been very low NormMACD values at minor
and major peaks and the NormMACD values here do not come
anywhere close to that phenomena.
