  1. An inverted VIX (1m > 3m) means investors are paying up for protection on near term volatility (1 month). They expect a crash. Usually, this is the sign of a bottom.

  1. Institutional investors can’t imagine the market going up. The last time they were bullish was the short-term top in 2021. Total contrarian indicator.
