QQQ 3 months, daily candles The daily bounce here tried to push thru the 12ema (white) on Friday but wasn't able to close above there. Potential daily bear flag here as well; a break below last weeks lows would confirm a new daily downtrend. CPI tomorrow and FOMC Wednesday will either see that set up negated or confirmed.

December Vix 3 months, daily candles
Started to peek thru last weeks highs on Friday, trading up near those highs still currently. Watching today for any further breakout ahead of CPI tomorrow and FOMC Wednesday.
Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles Different look here which is interesting - a gap up, and that's with no S&P gap down look (S&P futures have seen some bounce off Fridays lows).
