SPX - daily


VIX - daily


Summary

US equities opened a little weak, with choppy cooling to 4429. There was a not surprising latter day recovery, but underlying price action remains weak... as some of the mainstream recognise...

Krinsky of BTIG... touting sub 4K

Supports... 4222, psy'4K, the 38% fib' of 3815, and then the 3500s. Lower monthly bollinger is currently in the 3100s... if rising each month. Even if Russia doesn't make a move on the Ukraine, the market is going to struggle with CPI soon to print >8.0%. 

Volatility cooled back, the VIX settling -5.5% to 24.29. Tomorrow is a Thursday, and the past two haven't been so green.
