VIX: Your Guide to Spotting Temporary Market Bottoms Amidst Chaos
•Shubham Agarwal explains how India VIX, the 'fear gauge', can indicate temporary market bottoms.
•VIX measures market volatility; high VIX signals fear and uncertainty, while low VIX indicates a calm market.
•VIX and market prices typically move in opposite directions: VIX rises during market falls and drops during uptrends.
•A falling VIX amidst declining prices suggests easing selling pressure and a potential temporary price bottom.
•To use VIX: In a falling market, wait for VIX to hit a new high, then for its first closing lower day, which often coincides with a temporary price bottom.
