Not much has changed from previous weeks in terms of market outlook. Traders and investors should maintain a non-bearish (neutral to slightly bullish) bias for the overall market until proven otherwise. The major indexes continue to slowly pull away from their 200-day moving averages. The VIX (CBOE Market Volatility Index) closed at a level not seen since February 2020. Is a pullback for the market imminent? There are no relative economic reports on Monday or Friday, but they are packed in tight on the days in between.

The $3,295 level looks to be potential minor support and possibly a good area for a bull put spread. CAT â The stock moved dramatically lower this past week and below some previous support at $225. A potential call calendar around that level may be considered if the stock does not gap a lot lower on Monday.
