Meaning of this chart:
As a general rule, once the market does its 'range' -- the odds are that price will recover by the close to something significantly less than which VIX implies. But beware, this is a frequency distribution -- meaning that while you have odds of recovering back towards the previous days close, when it does not -- you could have a large move relative to what VIX implies (fat tail risk). Notice the more symmetrical shape (though still skewed) of the relationship of Range and VIX Implied Vol vs the fat-tailed 'close to close return' relationship with VIX Implied Return.
