FYI, all the articles about the end of volatility, implies it is about to explode upward.
I remember all too many times the experts claiming the end of something, only for it to come back with a vengence soon after.
Bottom line: Still no typical signal of a major top, so if you are foolhardy like me and keep shorting, dont hold for long! When i do see the bear has started (and when the fed stops pumping, the end will be near), will hold shorts for longer time periods.
