Why This VIX Super Week Could Change Everything

In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: Why This VIX Super Week Could Change Everything After a quiet summer, we're about to get hit with a perfect storm. The busiest week of the year just arrived. And we’re about to see a trifecta of big moves coming at us all at once. We’ve got a whole wave of megacap earnings from giants like Amazon and Apple hitting the tape… Another Fed decision is on the books for Wednesday… And we’ve got another jobs report and tariff deadlines weighing on markets this week. Any one of these events could shake the markets. But all four happening in the same week? That's a recipe for explosive moves. And all we need to consider is the latest VIX reading. Many of you are familiar with this chart already. Think of it as the market’s “fear gauge.” It simply reflects expected volatility over the next 30 days based on S&P 500 options. Right now, the VIX is hovering around 12–14. That’s historically low—even with known storm clouds on the horizon. Not only that… But the VVIX (which measures volatility of the VIX) is ticking higher. That’s often a leading indicator of where the VIX itself will run. A rising VIX means the market is finally waking up to the scale of this week's uncertainty. And when that happens, the moves will come fast and furious. Now, this is where my Masters in Trading Challenge really shines. Instead of guessing which way these catalysts will push the market, we follow the institutional footprints. We track where big money is placing their bets before the headlines hit. When you know how to read real market flow – not the news, but the actual options activity that reveals institutional positioning – you can position yourself alongside the smart money instead of chasing their moves. This could be the week that breaks the summer doldrums and kicks off the next major market cycle. Make sure you're positioned for whatever comes next.
