Friday, the S & P 500 sold off 6.77 points, giving back the gains from Thursday.
For the week, the market was down almost 25 points.
The VIX ended the week spiking up to a high of 22.89, before settling at 19.41.? It was up 13.98% for the week.? Having
said that, the price action formed a shooting star, which is a bearish candle.
Because the VIX could not hold the 21.88 line, it sets up a scenario where it will most likely retest 15.63.
All this movement in the VIX seems to be a reaction to the "Brexit" vote, which is to happen on June 23rd, which is this Thursday.? Great Britain will be voting to decide whether to stay in the European Union.
Quite frankly, I am not sure what the outcome could be if they decide to leave, but the one thing that markets absolutely do not like is uncertainty.
Having said that, the market are trading well to the upside pre open this morning.
The calls on DNR expired Friday and profits have been booked.
Here are the key levels for the markets.

Friday's low was 18.71, just under the 18.75 level. The VIX should open under 18.75 today, so expect that level to act as resistance.

After hitting the objective of 137.50, the TLT sold off .85 on Friday.
But we were looking for that based on the overbought condition and hitting the 137.50 level.

Major level - 62.50
A close today above 66.41 and the XLE should move up to 68.75.
Minor support is at 66.41.? 66.80 should also act as support.
67.19 should be minor resistance, so watch how the XLE reacts around that level.
