In this chart we can see the pattern formed year to date where the time between VIX spikes is decreasing.
With each spike the VIX is taking less time to return to above the 15 year average to the 18%+ range.
Measured from peak to peak, each of the three spikes has been about 126 trading days apart.
The average number of trading days measured from dropping under 18% to return to 18%+ is only 21 trading days.
With less than 75 trading days remaining in 2019 is there any reason to assume this pattern won't continue into year end?
