About VIX Positioning
The fear trade. VIX futures positioning tells you whether the big players are hedging for a crash or selling insurance because they think the coast is clear. Extreme short VIX positioning — everyone selling volatility — is one of the most reliable calm-before-the-storm signals in markets. When everyone's selling insurance, nobody's prepared for the fire.
