What is the trend of VIX?
Historically, when VIX was in the Bull Critical zone, the market moved up to a higher zone 32% of the time and down to a lower zone 68% of the time (across 175 observations).
Where is the market within its current zone?
The Bull Critical zone spans 60% to 74.5%. The market is at 63.57%, 10.93 points from the upper bound and 3.57 points from the lower bound — closer to the lower bound of the zone.
How are these statistics calculated?
Each closed candle carries an energy state. A transition is counted when the next candle carries a DIFFERENT state; moving up means a higher-energy zone, moving down a lower one. Percentages are frequencies observed across the full sample.
Where does the data come from and how many candles?
The sample contains 3,634 candles from 2012-03-21 to 2026-10-21, computed with 2AiTrading's proprietary Market Energy model. Data is captured at candle close and locked immutable over time to keep the statistics stable.
Are these numbers a prediction?
No. These are historical frequencies describing VIX's past behavior — not future probabilities and not buy/sell advice. Investors should combine them with their own trading method and do full research before applying.
What are the 7 market energy states?
Market Energy measures the market on a -100% to +100% scale, split into 7 zones from Bear Extreme to Bull Extreme; every closed candle belongs to exactly one zone.
