VIX is severely in backwardation here per the term structure. Will go short vol overnight and sell at open, let's see what happens.

I am that's why
@sajidnizami was saying long vol, but that's not account for the fact that you already detected the move went long vol and have not flipped the position short. ideally you'd do something like ratio (or calendar) so you can come out the other side if wrong
Going long/short VIX futs based on contango/backwdtn is the kind of dumb shit that quant funds do when they think they’re smarter than they are and it eventually blows up on them. At minimum you need to account for expected spot drift (I think @bennpeifert wrote about it once..)
