VIX Volatility Daily Chart; Battle at the 200-Day MA


The stock market drama continues with a new battle on tap at the 200-day MA at 16.46, a critical bull-bear line in the sand. The VIX is at 17.04 creating market angst. In addition, the Keybot the Quant algorithm is tracking 15.97, call it 16, as a critical bull-bear line in the sand. Thus, taking a broken blue crayon from the Crayola box, a thick line is drawn across the 16.0-16.5 level.

Stock market bears win big-time if the VIX tests 16.50-ish and bounces higher; stocks will be falling like rocks. Market bulls will rejoice if the VIX falls below 16.00-ish since equities will be catapulting higher with green screens everywhere. Between 16.0 and 16.5 is noise. Who will win? PPI is Tuesday, 10-Year Auction and FOMC Minutes are Wednesday, CPI is Thursday and Sentiment on Friday. So inflation, or lack thereof, will be a big theme in the week ahead.  This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Do not invest based on anything you read or view here.
