QQQ 3 months, daily candles Big push over all recent highs yesterday, on heavy volume, off the 12ema(white). Not far from testing 3month highs. 4hr RSI starting to push into overbought territory, so some short term consolidation of these big recent gains won't be a surprise when it hits; No sign of that so far though. (resistance)

307.18 the high from yesterday - trading a tad above there currently for the gap up open possibility

309.27-309.50

March Vix futures 3 months, daily candles Big vol crush yesterday; Pushed under yesterdays lows earlier this AM but pushing back above those lows currently as morning fears of banking turmoil creep back in. Will this bounce be reversed or will it look more like the action from 3/14-3/15 and surge back to recent highs? Stay tuned.

Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles Seeing some bounce off the lower 20s area, and the spot where it broke out from last Friday

XLF 3 months, daily candles Reversal doji candle from Wednesday confirmed yesterday, as the daily oversold bounce got underway.
