Auto-generated from the price series — no named events, just what the chart did.
On net, ^VIX went almost nowhere over these 67 days (-5.6%) — yet the ride between is full of climbs and drops. It opens at 16.90 and closes at 15.96.
The standout move is to the upside: off its low near Jul 2026, ^VIX put together a 37.5% run-up into Jul 2026 — the longest climb in the game. It isn't all one way, though: the sharpest pullback along the route is a 31.2% drawdown, the deepest valley you'll drop into.
Day to day the terrain is violent — closer to a roller coaster than a road: 32 up days against 34 down (an almost even split of up and down days). The steepest single faces are a +14.2% jump on Jul 13, 2026 and a -17.3% drop on Jul 30, 2026 — near-vertical walls you'll need to boost up or launch over. Its longest unbroken climb runs 5 days; its longest slide, 4.
If you want a breather, the calmest stretch sits around Sep 2026–Oct 2026; the roughest, most technical section runs Jul 2026–Jul 2026, where you'll earn most of your air. Put together, this chart rides as a brutal, all-or-nothing run — ★★★★★.
