SPY / QQQ / Vix
SPY 5 days, hourly candles S&P futures consolidating yesterdays big move, testing yesterdays RTH lows 422.52 the corresponding futures low
428.31 the after hours high before futures opened
SPY 3months, daily candles Daily bounce underway, watching for follow thru today. Tested up to the 12ema yesterday (white line). A sustainable push/hold above that level will show more bullish momentum than the oversold short term bounces we've been seeing. 429.51 the high from yesterday and first resistance
429.99 that daily 12ema
432.30-433.37 after that
433.80 small open gap
Anything under 441.11 on this current bounce is just the next daily "lower high" 422.82 the low from yesterday and first support, breaking those lows w follow thru would mean this bounce has already topped out
415.12 next support, bulls looking for a "higher low" above there whenever this bounce does top out, for a chance to eventually flip the daily trend back in their favor
410.64 the Ukraine invasion lows, bulls hoping for the double bottom look
QQQ 5 days, hourly candles Nasdaq futures also pulling back to test yesterdays RH lows, ahead of the CPI data at 8:30 et 329.75 the corresponding futures low so far
337.05 the after hours high, before futures opened
QQQ 3 months, daily candles Reversal doji confirmed yesterday, looking for the double bottom against Ukraine invasion lows; Follow thru today would provide bulls with more confidence, at minimum holding well above yesterdays lows and avoiding this bounce already topping out/a break of those lows 336.38 the high from yesterday and first resistance
337.81 the daily 12ema
341.31 next
350.04 the previous daily "lower high", anything under that level keeps the current downtrend on this timeframe in place 329.09 the low from yesterday and first support
319.94 after that, bulls looking to find a "higher low" above there whenever this bounce does top out
318.26 the Ukraine invasion low, go down to test that level again and it's less probable to hold on the next pass
March Vix 3 months, daily candles
Saw the start of some back off the last 2 days, but today is already regaining half of yesterdays pullback so far. This refusing to back off still is a big caution flag.
Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles So far this is still holding above 30, which is also a big caution flag for any sustainable equity rally.
Wide intraday ranges and movement will be the norm, both directions, until this eases off. Testing yesterdays high currently (34.12); get over that and 31.39 (yesterdays low) becomes the next daily "higher low" in this uptrend.
We'd then look for a test of the recent highs - 37.52-38.94. Break yesterdays low of 31.39, and daily consolidation continues, looking for a "higher low" compared to 29.31

The S&P 500 futures trade 45 points, or 1.1%, below fair value after a third round of ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine ended with no real progress. Oil prices are rebounding modestly while Treasuries trade little changed in front of key consumer inflation data.
After the talks, Russia confirmed a ban on exports of certain technology, auto, and agricultural products, among other items, until the end of 2022, in retaliation for Western sanctions on Moscow, according to Reuters. On a related note, the UK expanded sanctions against Russian oligarchs on Thursday.
Staying in Europe, the ECB recently left its key interest rates unchanged, as expected. The central bank said it's on pace to conclude net purchases under the APP in the third quarter of this year, and it extended the Eurosystem repo facility for central banks (EUREP) until Jan. 2023 because of the Russia-Ukraine situation.
