The CBOE SKEW Index has decisively broken its downtrend, surging 4.1% in a single session to close at 154.34, which marks a critical inflection point above both the 50-day (143.49) and 200-day (144.30) averages. This aggressive move pushes the index to 95.4% of its 52-week high, signaling that equity market fear is evaporating rapidly despite lingering geopolitical tensions. The recent price action shows strong momentum with three consecutive closes above the 50-day average, confirming a shift from defensive hedging to risk-on sentiment. While the statistical forecast model offers only a marginal 0.11% directional lean with moderate confidence, the technical breakout and proximity to yearly highs suggest the primary narrative is now driven by a relief rally rather than short-term noise. |
