volume surge, hopefully a pullback here but this rebound may have small legs at least.

Long time lurker, love to keep an eye on this board during the day.
I am curious if anyone is watching the increasing delta between VIX and VXX over the last week or so. Today it is quite pronounced.
I realize VXX is looking at mid term futures, but this only complicates the issue from what I can tell.
The VIX term structure appears to be steepening, which is effectively increasing the apparent delta between VXX and its target.
Does anyone have any idea why VXX is down today, while VIX is up sharply today? This looks like a good opportunity, but I don't want to make a move based on faulty analysis.

Yup watching it all day...somebody knows something?.. or just wanted to blow out the stops/weak hands on the VXX, UVXY, etc... to pick them up cheaper? ..closing action maybe interesting....or not.

VXX holds a long position in first and second month VIX futures, rolling on a daily basis. Therefore it may not track VIX on a day to day basis.
3 legged rebound already, not much up, so bears still have last hope. wait.

I might be wrong but that doesn't seem feasible. The VXX is tied to the VIX term structure. Imbalance is made up for on a nightly basis. If this was a one day (intraday thing) no problem it is resolved overnight. However were not seeing that. I am assuming this is simply lag from the recent dip and rise of VIX. If this is the case, VXX is a good buy here.
we're here. good bull bar and follow through, looks like bears are over.

volume surge, resistance, so may see pullback here first which likely would be bought.

Yes, but there is more On the close of the day before VIX option expiration, VXX will hold only near month futures contracts. Each day after that, VXX will sell 1/23 of the front month and buy the second month, so that there will always be a maturity of 30 days. As long as they have a similar price, then the daily rebalancing won't have much of an effect.
Edit:
I should add, that most people are looking at quotes for $VIX, which is an index. What is needed are VIX futures quotes to be able to accurately calculate how VXX will track day to day.
