Market Traffic Light
A first market layer for risk and volatility
The first block starts with volatility indices because they often show market stress faster than many other signals.
Signal 1
Volatility indices
The first version focuses on VIX, VVIX, GVZ, VXSLV, and OVX.
Right next to the current quote we show a rough historical rating based on the latest value inside the past 12 months.
Conclusion
- VIX US equity risk and 30-day implied volatility on SPX.
- VVIX Nervousness inside the volatility complex itself.
- GVZ Gold volatility as a macro and uncertainty barometer.
- VXSLV Silver volatility, often more dynamic than gold.
- OVX Oil volatility around geopolitics, growth, and supply.
First reading logic
Calm VIX plus calm VVIX usually points to a more relaxed market environment.
If both VIX and VVIX rise together, the market regime often becomes less stable.
If GVZ, VXSLV, or OVX jump early, that can be a warning signal outside equities.
