Nov vix futures 3 months, daily candles
Reversal doji candle yesterday, inside bar so far today. Watching for which way this breaks - 27.91 to the upside for the bull break (and more equity weakness) and 26.75 to the downside for the bear break (and the next "higher low" found on the indices)
Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles
Hanging out near recent lows still, even with the equity pullback we're seeing. Mainly due to the S&P holding up better than everyone else, buoyed by XLE and XLV.
$DXY daily bounce underway not doing equities any favors. We are looking for a daily "lower high" on this bounce, however.
