The SPX sold off 8 points on Monday following last week’s 40 point gain. VIX +1.05 closed at 24.25.  Bottom line is the SPX, NDX and RUT continue to trade below their short-term horizontal resistance levels of the past three weeks.  As long as the stay in the sideways channel, expect VIX to remain elevated.  When they break above their resistance levels is when the VIX will drop off.  If the markets are waiting for the FOMC announcement on Thursday, then the markets are waiting.  Do you want what the market wants?


Trade with the trend of the chart you are trading and continue to move your profit protection stops.  Continue to follow your rules.

SPY =...199.13
