The stock market experienced significant volatility with $SPY and $QQQ facing resistance at the 1-hour MTF clouds, particularly around the 34/50 EMAs. The $VIX, a measure of market volatility, fluctuated around 20, reaching as high as 20.70, indicating choppy market conditions. Despite the initial drop due to war news, the market showed resilience, holding PM lows and curling into the chop zone. Sellers failed to break below the key $SPY level of 565.16, maintaining a healthy consolidation. The semiconductor sector led the market, and upcoming jobs data is expected to increase volatility. The $VIX is weak now, and $SPX is 1.2% from all-time highs.
