April Vix futures 3 months, daily candles
(March expires today) Long vol funds like VXX and UVXY will primarily be moved by this April contract now, and each day the May vix futures will creep into the calculation.*Note, VXX is experiencing tracking errors as of yesterday, and is trading higher than where it "should" be based on the Vix futures. More info in the link below. Seeing some upper wicks of selling today, but heading up to test recent highs, and refusing to back down still. A broad market rally won't sustain until this starts seeing some consistent giveback.
https://twitter.com/saqibreports/status/1503372554584694787?s=21 Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles The break under 30 from Friday saw no follow thru and a quick move back higher, which saw follow thru yesterday and some more today. Its very hard to sustain a Vix this high, but so far all the wide intraday ranges and consistent weakness have been able to. If this were to take a meaningful leg higher from here, the broad market indices would take another large leg lower.
Until this backs off consistently, that's a very plausible scenario.
Futures edge higher as oil prices extend pullback

Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +7.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +50.50.
The S&P 500 futures have recouped overnight losses and trade eight points, or 0.2%, above fair value as oil prices fall to $95 per barrel ($95.02, -7.99, -7.9%).
Stocks in China weren't so lucky on Tuesday, plagued by COVID-19 lockdowns, de-listing concerns, and the potential for U.S. sanctions if found to be helping Russia's invasion. China's Shanghai Composite dropped 5.0% (-7.4% for the week), and Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 5.7% (-10.4% for the week).
The Chinese lockdowns are being cited as factor driving oil prices lower due to reduced demand. European stocks, meanwhile, are trying to recover, but the Europe Stoxx 600 is still down 0.9% right now.
