The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) surged past 28 on November 5, extending its intraday gain to 67%, according to Bitget market data. The spike coincided with a broad selloff in U.S. equities, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 2.38%, the S&P 500 dropping 3.57%, and the Nasdaq Composite tumbling 5.35%. The move signals a sharp jump in investor anxiety as volatility repriced across major risk assets. Market participants will be watching whether the VIX holds above the 28 threshold and whether equity losses deepen in the next session.
