"Mr. VIX"...on the edge...

Below is a Daily Year-to-date chart of the VIX. It has closed below December's TPO Profile POC (red horizontal line)...it is sitting on a 38.2% Fibonacci fan line and its lower Bollinger Band, and is just above its 200 sma (dashed pink), as well as price support of 25.00. A break and hold below 25.00 could be all the ammunition that the bulls need to send the S&P 500 up above near-term resistance...otherwise, we may see more range trading, or even a sizable pullback in the S&P.
