Market attempting recovery from Feb selloff — VOO/QQQ stabilizing near SMA (RSI 42-48), GLD breaking out to new highs (+5.6% 30D, RSI 58), VIXY elevated at RSI 62 signaling persistent fear. No all-clear yet.

Quick Snapshot

Signal Reading
Overall 🟡 STABILIZING — VOO RSI 48 (was 40 on 2/16), QQQ RSI 42 (was 37). Index ETFs bouncing but still below prior highs. Recovery attempt underway.
Risk appetite 🟡 Mixed — VIXY still elevated RSI 62. GLD breaking out (RSI 58, ATH territory). TLT bid (RSI 64). Flight-to-safety rotation ongoing alongside equity bounce.
Key insight Bounce off Feb lows but no conviction: VOO/QQQ near SMA (within ±1%), VIXY not collapsing. Gold and bonds still catching bids = market not fully risk-on. Oversold growth names (META RSI 26, AMZN RSI 25) offer highest upside if risk appetite returns.

Metric Feb 16 Feb 22 Change
VOO RSI 40 48 🟢 +8 pts — recovering
QQQ RSI 37 42 🟢 +5 pts — still lagging
VIXY RSI 62 62 🟡 Unchanged — fear persistent

Bottom line: Index ETFs bouncing off Feb lows but no decisive breakout. VOO essentially at SMA, QQQ slightly below. VIXY unchanged at RSI 62 — the fear hasn't resolved. Gold and bonds still catching bids. This is a tentative recovery, not an all-clear. Best opportunity: oversold growth names (see AI scan) if VIXY starts declining.

The Gold

Key Discoveries:

  • VOO/QQQ at or just below SMA — the Feb selloff appears to have found a floor, but no decisive reclaim yet
  • GLD breaking out with RSI 58 — momentum still intact, +5.6% 30D with room before overbought
  • VIXY stubbornly at RSI 62 — market is not pricing in a clean resolution; protection still being bought

Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Don't interpret the VOO bounce as a trend reversal until VIXY drops below RSI 50 and QQQ reclaims SMA
  • Don't chase EEM without acknowledging the data is 2 weeks stale

Open Questions:

  • Will QQQ reclaim its SMA or fail and re-test Feb lows?
  • Is VIXY elevation driven by geomacro concerns or just residual tech weakness?
  • Will GLD RSI reach 70+ before consolidating?
