Summary
Suffice to add... equity bulls should be content with ANY close >1910. As it is.. the 1920s looks possible.. which would see the VIX turn red.

As for 'an indirect signal'....
I try to keep a few dozen individual company charts in mind.. some can offer underlying bearish/bullish signs of where the market is really headed.
This morning, I had eyes on QCOM. It had already rallied from the $42s to 51.
QCOM, daily
I'd considered picking up a micro long... but.... option call spreads were terrible at 10/15% wide, even for front month. Then there is the issue that I'd be buying into a broader downward trend... in a market that is liable to much lower levels this spring.
So.. I held off.
Anyway... the point is... QCOM looks set for the gap zone of 56/60.. where the 200dma is lurking.
.. a hit of 56/57s would (in theory) equate to sp'2K by mid March.
.. and that is just one reason why I'm not getting hysterically bearish in the near term.
