Notice something striking here? Compare the VIX futures charts from 2008 to 2026 and you'll spot some eerie parallels. The volatility patterns look strikingly similar—same spikes, comparable trajectory shifts. Whether this signals another market shock or just cyclical behavior worth monitoring is the million-dollar question. Either way, it's hard to ignore when history seems to be writing itself again. Keep an eye on those volatility metrics.

The theory of historical cycles is back; it feels a bit like mysticism.

Is history repeating itself? Can we avoid it this time?

Is history repeating itself? The recent movement of VIX is a bit unsettling.

History repeats itself, huh? The current VIX trend really can't hold up anymore.

Historical cycle theory? Nonsense. I didn't buy the dip during the 2008 wave and still regret it now.

Is the historical cycle true? Feels like this time is different.

Is history repeating itself? The VIX trend from 2008 to now really looks similar, but the big players have already been laying out their plans, while the retail investors are still just looking at charts [thinking]
