Often referred to as the “fear gauge” or “fear index,” the VIX measures the market’s expectation of volatility based on SPX500 index options. It is an invaluable tool for investors and traders to gauge market sentiment and potential risk.** #### What is VIX? The VIX, or the CBOE Volatility Index, tracks real-time market expectations for volatility over the coming 30 days. Unlike traditional indices that measure stock performance, the VIX is a forward-looking indicator derived from the price inputs of SPX500 index options. It serves as a barometer for market uncertainty and investor sentiment. When considering [how to trade VIX](/how-to-trade/VIX), traders must understand its relationship with the stock market; typically, when stocks decline, the VIX rises. The SimpleFX platform offers traders, including beginners, the opportunity to engage with this unique market indicator, providing demo accounts to practice trading strategies without financial commitment. #### How does VIX work? The VIX calculated volatility by averaging the weighted prices of SPX500 put and call options over a wide range of strike prices. This calculation measures market risk and investors’ sentiments about future volatility. For those exploring [how to invest in VIX](/how-to-invest-in/VIX), it’s essential to comprehend its role as a market temperature gauge, particularly in unstable times. The VIX tends to spike during market downturns, reflecting increased investor anxiety. The SimpleFX platform provides tools for analyzing VIX movements for investors interested in making informed decisions in the market. #### VIX market cap VIX, as an index, doesn’t have a traditional market capitalization since it represents the collective value of certain companies. Traders can consider monitoring the market cap of the individual companies within the index to gauge potential price movements. #### VIX price history The history of the VIX is a reflection of market sentiment over time. Since its introduction in 1993, the VIX has recorded significant spikes during periods of financial crisis or market turmoil, such as the dot-com bubble burst, the 2009 financial crisis, and other global events. Studying the VIX price history allows investors to understand better how market volatility has unfolded in past scenarios, providing context for current market conditions and potential future trends. #### VIX current price The current **VIX price** is subject to fluctuation due to the volatility of the market. Investors can check it on the chart, the SimpleFX Webtrader platform, or the mobile app. [Read more Close](#) Similar instruments [IBEX 35 ES35 17 800  \-79.00 (-0.44%)](/instruments/ES35)  [SMI 20 CH20 13 084  \-31.50 (-0.24%)](/instruments/CH20)  [FTSE 100 UK100 10 228.1  \-11.50 (-0.11%)](/instruments/UK100)  [USA 30 US30 49 772  \-34.00 (-0.07%)](/instruments/US30)  [Euro STOXX 50 EU50 5 869  \-8.00 (-0.14%)](/instruments/EU50)  [USA 2000 US2000 2 874.8  \-5.50 (-0.19%)](/instruments/US2000)  [Euro Bund BUND 125.14  \-0.04 (-0.03%)](/instruments/BUND)  [USA 100 US100 29 386  \-61.70 (-0.21%)](/instruments/US100)  [ASX 200 AU200 8 688  \-49.00 (-0.56%)](/instruments/AU200)   ##### Trade Volatility Index the Simplest way.
