Technical Outlook:

  • SPX sported a nice rally in the final 45 minutes of trading to pop the market 20 points more into the close. Strong day on the charts. 
  • However, SPX needs to get above 1993 to establish a higher-high and and a new uptrend is in place. 
  • VIX dropped 17% down to 26.09. The VIX is setting  up for a bigger sell off in the coming days. 
  • T2108 popped 27% up to 15.2%
  • Right now China is on holiday, so it is difficult to say whether this bounce is simply because of China not having to trade right now. 
  • SPY volume was very average. 
  • Inverse head and shoulders pattern confirmed on SPX 30 minute chart. 
  • Trade nimble, be careful about holding positions overnight, because the volatility is still at extreme levels and much of the daily moves are happening before the market ever opens.
