By Jeff Clark, editor, Market Minute The S&P 500 closed Friday at 4181. That’s pretty much where it closed the Friday before, and the Friday before that. In other words, despite some intraweek moves above and below that level, the stock market hasn’t really done anything for two weeks. So, energy is building. There’s a big move coming… | Recommended Link | | New Investment “Craze” Hits All 50 States In the past two years, over 100,000 people from all across the world have joined a new investment “movement.” The strategy they’ve discovered has nothing to do with diversification… Buy and hold… Or anything you might hear from a broker or financial planner. But if history is any guide, you could have the chance to see double- and triple-digit gains over and over again – sometimes in a matter of days and weeks. | | | -- | And, my guess is that big move will be to the downside – at first. Take a look at this chart of the Volatility Index (VIX)… 
(Click here to expand image) The blue lines on this chart are the Bollinger Bands (BB) for the VIX. For most stocks, these bands show the most likely trading range. But, for the VIX… It’s a little bit different. When it comes to the VIX, periods of low volatility are always followed by periods of high volatility, and vice versa. So, the BB helps us spot periods where volatility is likely to expand. For example, whenever the BB pinch together – a condition caused by a period of low volatility – we often get a surge in volatility soon afterwards.

And, that spike in volatility coincided with a short-term decline in the broad stock market. The S&P 500 dropped 8% in one week during the VIX spike last September. Then, it fell 6% in a week last October. And, the volatility spike this past January coincided with a 3% drop in the S&P 500 in two days. This one stock could be the game changer you’re looking for As you can see from the chart, the BB is pinching together again. We’re likely to see another spike in the VIX – perhaps as early as this week. And, that means we’ll likely see a decline in the stock market. The good news, though, is that all of the previous spikes in volatility led to a good time to buy stocks. So, once we get through the next week or two, traders should have a chance to buy stocks in anticipation of a summertime rally. Best regards and good trading,
