Forecast frame

If signals persist, the cleanest market read is long VIXY over hours to days.

Watch for
  • Geopolitical news flow confirming the aviation signal
  • On-the-ground deterioration from unrest, humanitarian, or hazard feeds

Risk cools if the country loses independent confirmation for 24h and priced-market stress stops widening.
