Volatility Breakout As Indices Successfully Test 200-day MAs
The story of volatility has been overplayed the past week but this has as much to do about the general lack of volatility since the market lows of 2009. February has the potential - although there is plenty of time left to change this - of marking a shift towards a period of high volatility comparable to that of 2008. It doesn't necessarily mean markets will crash as they did in 2009 but it could be a rocky ride for those over trading their accounts.
