$QQQ Nasdaq Composite with Support Levels from $VXN spikes
Updated
Each time there is a panic selloff and recovery, the buyers who stepped up to the plate and accumulated shares at a discount show that they are in control of the market.
What happens when VIX or VXN spikes when the market falls? Well, sellers of options demand higher prices to compensate for higher risk or higher costs of taking a trade. Also, buyers of options pay UP and take offers for options which gives them protection from declines in stock prices (or a big rise in stock prices). 90% of the time VIX rises when the market declines, which makes people think VIX or VXN only rises when stocks fall. But that isn't the case.
The nervous sellers sold into the stronger hands of the buyers. The sellers now sit comfortably in cash and HOPE to buy back their shares at the discounted prices that they sold them "in a panic". But, as you see, the market doesn't accommodate those nervous sellers very often.
SO...
What happens is the market finds support just above or just at the levels where sellers jumped-ship.
Take a look.
See the pattern?
Good.
Now - don't tell anyone about it.

Note
Click "Update" and see where the bottoms have been so far. It is idea when the market holds the high end of the accumulation range. It is common to find support at the mid-point of the accumulation "box".
Either way, I hope you understand this important concept and are using it in your market timing/allocation strategies.
