The Vix Volatility Index, a measure of investor expectations for market swings over the next 30 days — known across trading floors as Wall Street’s “fear gauge” — was elevated.

The issue was centered on a couple of exchange-traded funds that track the market volatility index known as VIX.

Call options that would make money if the volatility index nearly doubled to 25 by July 19 were the most actively traded VIX contracts.

The VIX volatility index hovered just above 14, well off Monday's highs.

Bitcoin's volatility index is near 64, well below the 2023 peak of 116.5 touched in January, according to CryptoCompare.
