SPY 3 months, daily candles Mondays low broke by a tad yesterday before seeing a tepid bounce; "Lower high" every day for the last 5 days, the bulls will need to break that pattern and get over the high of yesterday/close over, before any daily bounce can get underway. Futures shaping up for a small gap up open, so a bit of a head start on that goal so far. Plenty of work and resistance overhead after that, with the 50 day MA (blue) and 12ema (white) looming above.

QQQ 3 months, daily candles "Lower high" here for the past 5 days in a row as well, first step for the bulls will be to break that pattern. Yesterdays low rested on the bottom of that volume profile shelf, so we'll see if the bulls can muster a defensive effort off that, and get a daily bounce going. Lots of resistance overhead and wood to chop after that.

Jan. Vix futures 3 months daily candles Daily consolidation of this recent bounce has been underway since Friday, right alongside the broad market continuing the decline. Heading back to test the recent lows, so we'll see if the easing can provide any support to a broad market bounce.
Whether due to seasonality or other factors, the action here has been pretty disjointed the past couple months it seems.
Spot Vix 3 months, daily candles Heading back to test the psychological 20 area once again, right along with the continued weakness in the broad market.
Not sure if we should take that as a tell that a bigger downturn in the broad market isn't in the cards in the very short term; Or as a worrying sign that something is not "working" the traditional way.
