Fundamental Analysis of VIXVIX Key Takeaways

• US stocks fell: US stocks hit their lowest level since Obama took office in 2009 during the global financial crisis. Since Trump was elected US President on January 20, the S&P 500 has fallen 6.4%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index has fallen more than 10%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 3.6%.
• Increased risk of recession: When Trump was asked last week whether the United States would have a recession this year, Trump said he did not rule out the possibility of a recession. And just last Friday, the new US Treasury Secretary Bessant told CNBC directly that there were some signs of weakness in the US economy. He warned that the US economy will slow down and go through a “detoxification period” to get rid of growth dependence on government spending.

• Stochastic oscillator : After exceeding the 50 median line, the indicator slowed down and fluctuated for a period of time. Last Thursday, the bullish signal was once again clear, making it clear that the current VIX Volatility Index will continue to rise, and market panic began to spread.
• Resistance area: The horizontal price of around 22.7 has long been the key resistance of the VIX Volatility Index. Yesterday, the volatility index officially broke through this price and is currently blocked by the upward channel line. There is a probability of a short-term decline, but the market price does not fall below the 22.7 support price, and the bullish idea is still the main one.
