VIX exceeds all futures contracts indicating an oversold market, Tom McClellan notes — VIX oversold signal hints at bottom

Market analyst Tom McClellan highlights a notable oversold signal as the VIX Index rises above the price of all its futures contracts. This development results in a negative reading for his indicator, which he associates with historically meaningful price bottoms.

McClellan notes that while this setup can appear early before a true bottom is set, it has consistently been linked to significant market turning points.

But we saved everything 🙂.

McClellan’s perspective on oversold market conditions aligns with his previous observations regarding the persistent gap between realized inflation and the Federal Reserve’s zero inflation mandate, highlighting the broader context in which these indicators operate. His analysis of how commercial traders have recently positioned themselves against speculation of a $200 oil price further underscores the complexity of interpreting market sentiment during periods of heightened volatility.
