The Technical Take

Premarket largely unchanged heading into the week

Technical Snapshot Key Takeaways

The S&P, Nasdaq, and Russell finished Friday's session higher, while the Dow closed slightly lower. The S&P and Nasdaq closed at new all-time highs, while the Dow and Russell finished beneath their respective overhead resistance ranges. Downside support ranges remain unchanged. Daily downtrends in all four indices have terminated and are now neutral. Momentum readings on the S&P and Nasdaq are making new lows as price makes new highs, while those on the Dow and Russell are holding below resistance alongside price.
The Volatility Index (VIX) finished Friday's session lower, closing above its initial downside support range from 17.75-17.10. A continued move lower into this range and a break below 17.10 would likely lead to a test of the 16.60-15.75 support range below. A move lower in the VIX would likely align with continued buying pressure in equities. Conversely, a move higher from support would likely lead to another test of the 22.15-20.85 resistance range, followed by 28.00-25.90. A move higher in the VIX would likely coincide with renewed selling pressure in equities.
