SPY / QQQ / Vix
SPY 5 days, hourly candles S&P futures drifting back upward, and cooling off the extreme oversold hourly RSI from yesterdays late day flush, ahead of the March jobs report at 8:30 et 451.44 was the after hours low before futures opened
454.57 is the corresponding futures high so far

SPY 3months, daily candles More convincing daily consolidation on heavier volume, tapped the 150 day MA (orange line)(support)
451.16 the low from yesterday and first support
451.02 the 150 day MA (orange line)
448.85 the 12ema (white line) - if consolidation stays above there it stays healthier for the bulls, much more than that the probabilities become higher we stay in this recent range awhile longer, and would look for a "lower high" on the next bounce
443.71 the last daily "higher low" and spot for bulls to pivot anywhere above to keep the daily uptrend in their favor
440.03 the 50 day MA(resistance)
458.76 the high from yesterday and first resistance
462.07 after that

361.68 the low from yesterday and first support
358.07 next
356.88 the 12ema (white line)
351.59 after that

368.93 the 200 day MA
371.34 the 150 day MA
371.83 the high of the recent bounce

April Vix futures 3months, daily candles
Daily bounce underway, watching for any follow thru today

Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles Back above 20 (though back-testing it now from the upside) Daily bounce underway here also off the RSI areas where historically we see some type of bounce; Still a potential daily bear flag if this move cant get above the 23-24ish area. Inside bar day so far today, 21.48 needed for the upside bull break
19.54 needed for the bear break
