The volatility record

VIX back to 1990. The nine-day-to-six-month term structure, vol-of-vol, and how much the tail is being paid for. Every level ranked against its own full history — not a one-year window.

Right now

Is this normal?

A number on its own answers nothing. Each of these is placed against every session NoVo holds for it, and against the last two years — because those two often disagree, and the disagreement is the point.

Term structure

Is the front stressed, or the whole curve?

VIX9D measures nine days, VIX thirty, VIX3M ninety. When the front sits above the back the market is paying up for the next few sessions specifically — which is a different regime from a curve that has lifted all along.

The long view

Every month since 1990.

Monthly closes. The spikes are the ones you remember — 2008, March 2020, February 2018 — and the long flat stretches between them are most of the record.

Volatility is the backdrop. The dealer map is the foreground.

These indices tell you what kind of market you are in. NoVo’s dealer map tells you where it is likely to stall or break today — the gamma flip, the walls and the expected move, recomputed every 60 seconds.
