How Day Traders Read the VIX 95 Level for Mean Reversion

Today, Lucas and Luna unpack a specific VIX level that active traders watch closely: 95 on the VVIX. With the VIX sitting at 18.65 and the VVIX at 102.82 as of July 20, 2026, they explain what happens when the VVIX breaks above 100 and what it signals for mean-reversion strategies. Lucas walks through a real trade setup from last week's Russell 2000 move, showing how a spike in the VVIX above 95 often precedes a snap-back in volatility. Luna challenges whether this level still works in a market where the S&P 500 sits at 7443 after a 1.3% weekly drop. They discuss position sizing, stop placement, and why the VVIX 95 level is more reliable than the VIX 15 for short-term mean-reversion trades. No fluff, no filler—just actionable insight for day traders. #VVIX #Volatility #MeanReversion #DayTrading #VIX95 #Russell2000 #IntradayStrategy #OptionsTrading #ShortTermTrading #MarketStructure #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ActiveTrading #SPX #TradingPsychology #RiskManagement #VolatilitySpike #StockMarket Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
