Here is the Vix daily chart live and should remain live whenever check back to this post. It suggests a possible Inverse H&S formation. I trust this the least of the three possibilities.
Here is the US Dollar chart and it will update end of day, so this at the moment is showing trading through yesterdays close. This has a wedge look to it but I didn't put any lines on it. If anything this a long horizontal consolidation from the start of this year. We may have bottomed with today's intraday bounce, after a 12 day slide.
