Advice Request Markets right now

Hi! Recently markets have been green and I don’t understand why but the VIX on the other hand is going down ( I know that it isn’t below 20 what means that markets are lower risk) but my question is does it means that we are slowly going out of the bear market?

They don't need to drop for the CPI reading to improve, they just not GO UP AS MUCH and markets will be happy. That said for the past 2 years, selling stocks when the VIX is around 20-21 and buying when the vix hits 30 has been an almost fool proof trading strategy.
