Panic Selling Ahead for Equities?

By -

As of 2:00 pm today (Wednesday), and further to my post of October 9th, price in equities has plunged to the next major support level of 60.00, after failing to hold a critical level of 100.00, as shown on the 20-Year Daily ratio chart of SPX:VIX below.

Price on this ratio chart now sits at levels seen during the 2008 financial crisis. A break and hold below this level could, indeed, cause some panic selling in equities…one to watch very closely over the coming days/weeks!

I’ll post an updated chart after the market closes today…check back here for the update.
