What is VIX?
VIX aka Fear Index is the most commonly used method to measure expected volatility.

VIX is a calculation by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) to show the market’s volatility expectations for the next 30 days through tracking put and call options of the S&P 500.

How to Use VIX?

VIX below 20 indicates low volatility. It means prices are not changing very quickly.
VIX above 30 is a sign of high volatility. It means uncertainty and there is fear in the markets.
