The Jan'20th low of sp'1812 saw VIX hit a peak of 32.09. Today saw the VIX max out from the very open at 29.26, for now... there is a rather clear divergence... with the VIX suggestive equities are still set to rally... despite there being no real capitulation.

Summary
*the VIX computer is a little twitchy, there have been a few sporadic 'rogue prints' today and across the last few weeks.

I am disregarding the recent spike high to 29.71... its a rogue print.

Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) on the equity cycle is on the low side.
Equity bulls should be seeking >1825 by the close to give some hope that we've a double floor in the sp'500.
Again though, it is notable that the Nasdaq and R2K have already broken below their respective Jan'20th lows.

notable reversal... DIS, daily
DIS is one to watch as earnings were unquestionably fine. First bounce target would remain the $96/98 zone.... which is a fair way up.. and might equate to sp'1920 - where the 50dma will be end month.
