Nobody tells beginners this about the VIX.
A VIX of 18.39 means $SPX is priced to move 88.9 points today.
Same number. Same screen. Almost nobody turns it into points.
The VIX isn't a mood. It isn't a guess. It's a daily move you can count.
Here's the full breakdown 👇
Turning one number into a day's range:
→ Divide the VIX by 15.87 to get the daily move in percent.
→ Today: 18.39 / 15.87 = 1.16% a day.
→ Multiply that percent by the SPX close to get points.
7,676.77 x 18.39% / 15.87 = 88.9 points
Where today's lines land:
→ Priced range, close plus or minus the move: 7,588 to 7,766.
→ Halfway lines, half the move each side: 7,632 and 7,721.
→ Modeled floor, the strike with the most puts: 7,630.
→ Modeled ceiling, the strike with the most calls: 7,725.
→ Both sit right on the halfway lines, so price can stall there first.
→ This week the priced move is plus or minus 198.8 points.
What to do tomorrow morning:
1. Before 9:30 AM, divide the VIX by 15.87, like 18.39 into 1.16%.
2. Multiply by the close, like 1.16% of 7,676.77 into 88.9 points.
3. Skip new calls near 7,721 and new puts near 7,632.
