Weekly Roundup

Blog and Report Highlights

 

Week of March 30, 2026

As we move deeper into spring, markets are revealing a mix of resilience and fragility, with sharp divergences as breakouts fail and quickly test key support—reinforcing that discipline matters most in transitional environments.

At the same time, constructive setups are emerging as bases build and relative strength improves, and while macro headlines continue to drive short-term volatility, that same volatility is creating opportunity—with STS helping you stay disciplined, focused, and one step ahead.

We have received several questions regarding the CBOE Volatility Index (aka the VIX).When the VIX begins to move above 30 on a daily closing price basis, it suggests increased uncertainty, fear, or risk. If the 200-day moving average (DMA) on the S&P 500 maintains a rising trend, this spike in the VIX above 30 could prove short-lived...

Software (IGV): Back to must hold support

We highlighted climactic selling and downside capitulation for the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) in the March 4, 2026, The Chart Check. Unfortunately, IGV did not achieve much upside follow-through from this contrarian bullish signal. GV's strength stalled at 88.58 prior to a drop back toward a must hold support from 76.25 down to 74.17 (lows going back to May 2024 and the 61.8% retracement of the October 2022 into September 2025 rally)...

HON: Retests a big base breakout zone

HON is an industrial conglomerates stock with a potential bullish breakout and retest from an April 2021 into January 2026 big base pattern.
