En route lies the May low at 26.31.Source: ProRealTimeThe last five times the 200-day SMA has been touched, in early and mid-January, late March, as well as early and late April, the VIX index rallied. It will be interesting to see whether a rally will happen again this time round, were it to be revisited.For the VIX index to spike again, a bullish reversal would need to take it above the late June and early July highs at 28.92 to 30.00, in which case the March, May and June peaks at 33.23 to 34.43 would be back in the picture while US equites sell off once more.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9078397797,"gmtCreate":1657632710719,"gmtModify":1676536036662,"author":{"id":"4112410321254552","authorId":"4112410321254552","name":"blessed_1","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/71622697830d9517eb67a61917d8a95f","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4112410321254552","authorIdStr":"4112410321254552"},"htmlText":"Just monitor.
