410.64 the recent lows as the most important are for bulls to defend and stay anywhere above 435.90 that declining 12ema

March Vix futures 3 months, daily candles Volatility still really elevated - if broad market bulls are going to make any progress on changing the charts, we'll need to see this start to crush. Slight higher high made earlier this AM with no follow thru, but still currently trading in the upper end of yesterdays range.

Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles Still above 30 here so not much calm to be had with it that high; Trading in the upper third of yesterdays range with 32.31 being the low so far today and 34.41 the high so far.

35.19 was yesterdays high print, with 29.44 being yesterdays low print. Get back under there with some follow thru and broad market bulls should start gaining some traction.
