SPY / QQQ / Vix
SPY 5 days, hourly candles S&P futures trading sideways in the middle of Fridays range
413.83 the corresponding futures high

Doji candle Friday as it peeks up to test 3 month resistance areas. An open, and more importantly a close anywhere under the 412.46 area would be a reversal doji confirmation and cause some shorter term concern for bulls. Holding above the 12ema(white) and daily uptrend still in play though, so bears will need to play defense and then go back on offense to gain any ground. (resistance)
