Alphagbm Vix Status

AlphaGBM VIX Status

The single VIX number, translated into the 5-tier framework that options sellers actually use to size up and down. Use this as the market-wide backdrop before any per-ticker analysis.

What This Skill Does

Maps the raw VIX value to one of five strategy zones:

Also returns:

• mean_1y — 1-year mean VIX for comparison
• percentile_1y — where today's VIX sits in last year's distribution
• distribution_1y_pct — % of last year spent in each of the 5 tiers

How to Use

Input: No parameters — market-wide indicator.

Output:

• vix — current close
• level — one of calm / normal / sweet_spot / caution / extreme_fear
• color — one of blue / green / yellow / orange / red
• label — zh/en short name (e.g. 卖方甜蜜区 / Seller Sweet Spot)
• strategy_hint — zh/en actionable guidance paragraph
• percentile_1y, mean_1y
• distribution_1y_pct — fraction of the past year in each tier

Example Queries:

• what's VIX right now — Current level + tier + strategy hint
• is this a good time for BPS — Check if VIX is in the "sweet spot" (20–25)
• should I sell premium today — Seller-view classification
• market fear gauge — VIX with contextual interpretation
• how often has VIX been in extreme fear this year — 1-year distribution
