SPY / QQQ / Vix SPY 5 days, hourly candles S&P futures pushed over Thursdays/Friday's RTH highs over the long weekend; Currently testing a breakdown area from pre market Thursday 373.06 the corresponding futures/pre mkt high
Sunday evening futures action low corresponds to about 365ish
SPY 3 months, daily candles After more new lows were found last Friday, we saw limited follow thru and a close around the breakeven level, with a doji candle signaling a potential short term reversal. An open, and most importantly a close above 365.86, would confirm, and start shaping up a daily bounce. Lots of work for bulls to put in with daily and weekly downtrends in play, and plenty of resistance overhead. (support)
362.17 the low from Friday and first support on this timeframe
If that area ultimately fails, the weekly volume profile really thins out and until 340-345ish, and we're talking about testing the pre-Covid highs area (resistance)
369.38 the high from Friday - trading over there now for a small gap up open that's shaping up
370.94 the high from Thursday, trading right around there currently
372.12 small open gap
383.90 was last Wednesdays post-Fed high
386.04 the daily 12ema (white line)

QQQ 3 months, daily candles Bit of a different look here on Friday than SPY; held Thursdays low, and saw a brief push over Fridays high that filled the small gap from Wed/Thurs. Daily and weekly downtrends in play so lots of resistance and work for bulls ahead. (resistance)

286.83 last Wednesdays post-Fed high
287.20 the daily 12ema (white line) (support)
