February 27 Stock Market Preview:Thursday saw a drop right to the important support areas we mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter, and so far, those areas are holding. Conflicting signals from the VIX and some encouraging signs for bulls with IWM deserve more attention, so let’s take a closer look.

February 26 Stock Market Preview: Indices aren’t moving a lot following NVDA earnings, with futures slightly lower and NVDA also lower after tagging 203 in the after hours session. Overall today, indices continued higher, though the VIX crush that continued right down to the high 17s was not met with a continued rally in the stock market, which topped out relatively early in the day. Does the VIX reaching the weekly/daily support area we’ve been mentioning constitute a negative divergence worth noting?

February 25 Stock Market Preview: The big picture for indices is mixed, with all of the major indices staging a rebound while the VIX still holds above key areas maintaining its trajectory higher. Is IGV giving us early signs that a bounce may be near? Let’s take a look at the GEX picture across the board with special attention to IGV’s GEX and volume picture.

February 24 Stock Market Preview: Today’s action was persistently negative, yet on the surface, no clear decision has been made as to the markets next move. Can we find any clues by evaluating GEX? Let’s take a look, as well as a look at the VIX and VVIX.

February 23 Stock Market Preview: As we enter the March OpEx cycle, let’s take a look at some potential technical areas of interest as well as the GEX picture to see if we can find some clues as to the most likely scenarios for the markets next move.

February 20 Stock Market Preview: Let’s take a look across the board at SPX, QQQ, IWM, and the VIX as we enter OpEx Friday.

February 19 Stock Market Preview: With VIX expiration behind us, we now look toward Friday’s OpEx, with SPX rejecting key resistance today and the VIX bouncing off of lows. Will we get some kind of resolution, or will the “chopfest” continue?

February 18 Stock Market Preview: Today’s action seemed indecisive, and net GEX actually moved more negatively for several top indices, including SPX and QQQ. With the VIX hugging 20 as we enter VIX expiration in the morning, what clues do we have as we look toward Friday?

February 16 Stock Market Preview: Indices may be approaching an area where we might see a bounce, particularly during OpEx week…But maybe not before we see more downside. What does the big picture look like? Let’s take a look at GEX and the charts as we approach VIX expiration Wednesday and OpEx Friday.

February 13 Stock Market Preview: Thursday’s intraday breakdown led to another test of key levels for indices, with indices not yet testing their lows from last week, except for DIA, which sat out of last weeks decline. DIA had its biggest down day since November, finally joining in the stock market pity party (pity for the unhedged?). Can we bounce?

February 12 Stock Market Preview: Wednesday marked the first test of key support areas since indices bounced off of last week’s lows, successfully holding daily support. The VIX and VVIX saw divergence today, with VVIX higher, so we await clarity regarding the markets choice of a break lower or higher following this test. What does GEX have to say?

February 11 Stock Market Preview: Tuesday saw an intraday pullback that may be the beginning of a larger pullback, but we’ll have to wait and see how Wednesday unfolds. The VIX bounced where it needed to in order to maintain the trend going back to December, and indices rejected where QQQ tested key overhead resistance, setting up the next question: Will the current pullback be very shallow, or will we retest lows (or worse)?

February 10 Stock Market Preview: Indices continued bouncing Monday, with QQQ testing key resistance noted as an important decision area in yesterday’s newsletter. The VIX also tested key support, so we appear to be at a key decision area. What is GEX telling us about tomorrow?

February 9 Stock Market Preview: Friday saw a huge bounce, in line with Thursday’s newsletter topic and bringing indices back to key resistance, right along the lengthy consolidation trendline for QQQ and SPX. What is the most likely outcome from here? Let’s look at some possibilities.

February 6 Stock Market Preview: Indices saw a change of character today, with a gap down seeing follow-through lower, instead of the rebound attempts we saw the last two days. The VIX continues its spike toward 25, and IWM has reached 255. What’s next? Crash or rebound?

February 5 Stock Market Preview: The VIX continues maintaining the trend of higher highs and higher lows, and this week we also see an important technical indicator turning that may suggest more downside ahead. With QQQ hitting the important 600 GEX cluster today and rebounding, will the rebound continue, or is this about to be a very dead dead cat bounce?

February 4 Stock Market Preview: Weakness persisted today, with the VIX spiking to 20. IWM showed early strength but reversed, maintaining a higher low compared to yesterday by .20. With indices rebounding off of lows into the close, and the VIX fading back to 18, what is most likely looking ahead?

February 3 Stock Market Preview: A wild overnight drop was nearly recovered by Monday’s cash session open, with indices turning solidly positive by mid-day. The rally brought indices to key resistance, and the VIX testing key support, so the next few days might be very telling in terms of a possible break in one direction or another.

February 2 Stock Market Preview: A picture is starting to emerge of a market that might have more downside in store after the initial tag of SPX 7000. Let’s look at the VIX and major indices to get a sense of where we might be headed, as well as a discussion surrounding where we might look first for signs of reversal.

January 30 Stock Market Preview: Indices dropped today, and the VIX spiked to almost 20 before fading into the close. Huge candle wicks were created as indices rebounded, but are we “out of the woods” yet?
