SPY / QQQ / Vix
SPY 5 days, hourly candles S&P futures trading just above the lows from yesterday, after a break of those lows overnight that saw little follow thru 425.75 the corresponding futures low
427.21 the pre mkt high
SPY 3 months and 1yr daily candles Flirting with 1 year highs and seeing some initial defense from bears around those levels; they'll need to go on offense and push more meaningful consolidation though, if they're going to negate the daily bull flag look. Plenty of room for a "higher low" to be found, in the context of this daily uptrend, even if bears are able to see follow thru under the last few days of lows. (support)
425.99-426.11 the last couple days of lows
423.95
422.92 open gap
422.05 the daily 12ema(white)
416.22 the last daily "higher low" (resistance)
429.62 yesterdays high/Mondays high
431.73 the 8/16/22 1 year high
435-440ish next weekly volume profile resistance zone after that

349.45 the pre mkt high
QQQ 3 months, daily candles More meaningful daily consolidation got underway yesterday on increasing volume, as the overbought RSI starts to cool off. (support)
348.18 the low from yesterday
346.58 the daily 12ema(white)
346.51 the last daily "higher low" and the spot for bulls to stay above to avoid losing the steep uptrend they've established over the past 6 weeks. (resistance)
357.12 the high from yesterday
357.50 the recent high
June Vix futures 3 months, daily candles
The bleeding from the past couple weeks has paused, with a doji candle yesterday/today so far, just above Mondays low. Breaking above 15.85-16 area would get the daily bounce going. How high that bounce gets can then help us judge if it's just a bear flag, or a meaningful low.
Spot Vix 3 months daily candles
Hanging out near 3 year lows and trying to hold above yesterdays low; Needs to break 14.29 with some follow thru, to see a daily bounce get going.
