Risk sentiment cooling down—VIX drops below 15 following the latest CPI reading. Market participants are interpreting the inflation data as a positive signal, easing the fear gauge that traders closely monitor. This kind of volatility compression often signals a shift in market psychology, with investors regaining confidence. The move could potentially support risk-on positioning across assets, including crypto markets, as lower VIX typically precedes increased appetite for alternative investments.

VIX drops below 15. Is this really just another false alarm? The inflation data is positive, but I still feel like this rebound is a bit too quick...

VIX drops below 15? Is it time to buy the dip or run away? I really can't figure it out.

VIX drops below 15? Trying to trick us into entering the market again, huh? Is this time really not fake?

VIX drops below 15, and this time the inflation data is finally a positive signal... Is the crypto market about to take off?

VIX drops below 15? That's not right, I need to take another look at the data. It feels like a reversal is coming again.

VIX has fallen below 15, but I still feel this rebound is a bit too fast... --- Wait, is the CPI data really that optimistic? Or is the market just comforting itself again? --- The crypto market is about to take off, low VIX is a signal --- It’s always like this, when volatility drops everyone starts to go all in, and then they get proven wrong again --- Hey, the fear index is down, which means investors are really recovering --- How long can the current "risk appetite" last? Don’t let it be a flash in the pan again --- The crypto market has more room for speculation, this is going to be lively

VIX drops below 15. Can we really hold this time? Feels like it's always the same cycle.
