Volatility Index Breakout Rejected: A Bull Market Boost?

The Volatility Index (VIX) surged out of its downward wedge on August 5. On that day, it briefly broke through the lower boundary of the macro channel, only to be sharply rejected by weekly algo-driven shorts and the channel's median line. Currently, the VIX index has fallen back below the lower boundary of the macro channel, which once acted as support and now serves as resistance (indicated by the white arrows). Strong algo and geometric resistance levels are reinforcing the ongoing bull market in stocks.
