Spike Volkov
The Fear Feeder
🐺 Reversal 📅 96 years old (Born 1930)"Fear is the best entry signal money can buy. When VIX is above 25, people are making emotional decisions. Three consecutive down days in that fear environment? That's not a rational selloff — it's a gift wrapped in panic."
A Russian-named wolf of the volatility markets. Has a sixth sense for fear. When the VIX crosses 25 and stocks have bled for 3 days straight, this trader knows the herd has stampeded too far. Calm, calculated, lethal.
