For two months SPY was sleepy - with VIX at 12, Vol is coming

Updated
For two months SPY has been trading within a 1% range - Once on July and later on August - Total of 36 boring days that made the summer a nightmare for swing traders.

Now, with VIX at 12 and SPY just below a daily downtrend line, Volatility is expected to rise as the markets prepare for Sep FOMC on the 21st.

Another push towards 220$ (2200 with SPX) is definitely an option but the focus will be on the markets reaction to the ECB meeting on Thursday - A close below the Fast SMA line can send SPX back to test the previous record levels - near 212$
