Bloomberg: The Fed-induced market rebound has resulted in a dramatic decline in the volatility factor that now looks overdone, which may have implications for broader market performance. The 10-week RSI of long/short volatility hit a reading of less than 30, a relatively rare oversold condition that suggests recovery is likely. The decline in the volatility factor is largely driven by extreme price appreciation of high volatility shares, in which the long/short volatility factor maintains short positions. A reversal into lower volatility shares would likely imply a substantial slowdown in stocks' appreciation rate in general. We calculate the volatility factor using an equal weight, sector neutralized, Q1 (low vol.) - Q5 (high vol.) portfolio using the average of trailing six- and 12-month standard deviations on the Russell 1000.
