Sum
TLT low on 2HP so far. VIX held Q3P - 2HP area as resistance, showing no panic in the market XIV recovered YP after 2 day break. VI1 futures also Q3P exact on the high. Per my last total market view, the move in VIX so far is quite supportive for stock indexes.

TLT
Look at that, 2HP exact on the low. So far despite the drop no long term damage to TLT (ie below a long term pivot 2HP or YP. Holding YR1 as support also looks bullish.
Daily chart looks bit less impressive, small blue bars on the lows could be weak oversold bounce. Q3P still may act as resistance. Lastly, only pivots on the 2016 high and recent low so far, no Bollinger bands or MAs.

GLD
Weekly chart between levels. Daily chart high on SepR1 and down from there.

GDX for kicks
Below YR2 for the second time, along with SepP break and resistance. Earlier bounce of Q3P was nice but mostly gone.

VIX
Weekly chart is a thing of beauty if you consider August 2015, January and February 2016, June and now September. VIX pivot resistance or pivots on or near the turns.
Daily chart shows no close above Q3P and resistance for 2 trading days. So far no real panic in the market and ordinary pullback.

XIV
More bullish to hold YP. 2HR1 still maybe resistance.

VI1
Also confirming volatility high & stock likely pullback low with high on Q3P near exact.
