VIX Goes Violent — Investors Still Treat Protection Like It’s for “Suckers”

SPX technicals

SPX has reversed near the top of the range and is now breaking below the short-term trend line. Zooming out, the market still lacks a clear medium-term trend, with price sitting right on the 50-day and RSI suddenly at its most oversold since the December shakeout. First meaningful support comes in around 6,800 (futures).
