This tech ‘fear gauge’ is nearing a two-decade high. Investors should worry.

The "fear gauge" or VIX is hitting levels not seen in nearly 20 years, signaling heightened anxiety among investors. While the VIX is traditionally used to measure market volatility, some experts argue it may not fully capture current tech sector turbulence. This surge in fear levels suggests investors should be cautious as tech stocks, which are often a leading indicator of market trends, face significant pressure, potentially foreshadowing broader market shifts.
