Volatility roars back: VIX tops 20 amid tech and crypto sell-offs
Seeking Alpha News (Thu, 5-Feb 11:47 AM ET)
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is a widely followed measure of the expected volatility of the S&P 500. Since the VIX is not directly investable S&P 500 volatility exposure is often achieved through VIX futures. Each of the VIX futures indexes measures the movements of a combination of VIX futures and is designed to track changes in the expectation for VIX over a specific time window in the future. As a result the S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures Index and VIXM can be expected to perform differently than the VIX.
ProShares Vix Mid-Term Futures ETF trades on the ARCA stock market under the symbol VIXM.
As of February 5, 2026, VIXM stock price climbed to $15.64 with 407,283 million shares trading.
VIXM has a beta of -1.13, meaning it tends to be less sensitive to market movements. VIXM has a correlation of 0.61 to the broad based SPY ETF.
VIXM has a market cap of $67.45 million. This is considered a Micro Cap stock.
In the last 3 years, VIXM traded as high as $29.84 and as low as $13.68.
VIXM has underperformed the market in the last year with a return of +8.0%, while the SPY ETF gained +13.8%. In the last 3 month period, VIXM fell short of the market, returning -5.9%, while SPY returned +0.6%. However, in the most recent 2 weeks VIXM has outperformed the stock market by returning +4.6%, while SPY returned -1.1%.
VIXM support price is $15.23 and resistance is $15.57 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that VIXM shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
