MARKET HEATMAP

VIX

The Volatility Index, or VIX, measures volatility in the stock market.

When the VIX is low, volatility is low. When the VIX is high volatility is high, which is usually accompanied by market fear.

Buying when the VIX is high and selling when it is low is a strategy, but one that needs to be considered against other factors and indicators.
