FAANGs: Back in Business?

It was another potential ugly day that turned into a barn burner as VIX followed through on its bearish 10/20 cross and broke below a trend line dating back to November.The day was also about expectations. AMZN, for instance, which had broken down after establishing a pennant pattern dating back to Sep 2 and hasn’t been able to top its SMA10, surged a whopping 4.57%. The departure of Jeff Bezos’ nemesis, perhaps? In any case, it wasn’t the only major component of the S&P 500 to spike higher.
