I'm wondering if the VIX, which is often seen as a measure of 
market volatility, could possibly drop to zero. Is such a scenario even feasible?

    VIX futures and options are financial instruments that should not be treated as long-term, buy-and-hold investments.

    Volatility has its limits and cannot continue to rise indefinitely.

    It is also impossible for volatility to reach zero, as it is an inherent characteristic of financial markets.

    Historically, volatility has never fallen below a certain level, specifically nine, which sets it apart from equity prices.

    The behavior of volatility is distinct and differs significantly from the trends observed in equity markets.
