The stock market's fear gauge just hit its lowest level in 3 years as a new bull market kicks off

The S&P 500 is also on the verge of kicking off a new bull market, sitting less than a half percentage point away from closing above 4,292, which is the threshold that would mark the bullish milestone.Nasdaq 100According to DataTrek Research co-founder Nicholas Colas, the decline of the VIX to pre-pandemic levels signals that both economic and market conditions are closer to pre-pandemic levels than they might seem.

Carson Group's chief market strategist Ryan Detrick told Insider on Monday that the breakdown in the VIX is a signal that should be embraced by investors, rather than fought. And such a decline in volatility, at the same time as the stock market jumps to its highest level since August, suggests to Detrick that there could be more upside ahead.

And while a low VIX can suggest that stock market investors are not paying enough attention to potential risks, Fairlead Strategies founder Katie Stockton doesn't think we've arrived at that threshold yet.
