Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles Attempt(s) to push over that recent 18.31 high have been resisted so far. A bit of an inverted head and shoulders look on the daily here.
Would need to push over that 18.31 with some follow thru to confirm; then the next levels of interest are found at the 19.35 50 day MA(blue), 19.63, 20 psychological, and the 21.33 May high
