Recap: The SPY/VIX bounce played out as we expected on somewhat lower volume. SPY touched the downward trendline, after a false channel break. The VIX also bounced nicely after reaching the lower channel limit.
This bounce was not based on any material changes - No major Russia/Ukrain update. No additional Fed guidance. No major other news. This bounce is mostly due to the rebalancing of gamma by dealers.
New: - CPI today (important to the FED - Next week the Fed should hike 0.25%. The market has priced this event at a 98% probability. Volatility should be expected around their forward guidance for the additional speed of QT.
Moving Forward: - SPY on the 4H touched the 0.50 retracement and the 20D MA. - SPY 1H touched the downward trendline and CCI showed divergence into it which is a good sign for the bears - VIX bounced on the lower channel on the 1H after CCI was oversold.
Targets - Should this materialize the SPY should push previously lows of 412 before making it down to the psychological level of 400 - VIX should continue to rise and push 38
If any major news comes from Russia/Ukrain these targets will quickly be revised.
