Market Trend Overview for VXX

One model, two time views: what the market looks like right now, and where the larger trend is heading over time.

Longer-Term Market Trend (Mid to Long Term)

Shows the bigger market trend, how strong it is, and where risks may start to build over the next few weeks or months. — Updated as of 2026-03-25 (ET)

As of 2026-03-25, VXX is starting to move higher. Over the longer term, the trend remains bearish.

VXX last closed at 34.25. The price is about 2.1 ATR above its recent average price (30.98), and the market is currently in an early upward move. Price at 34.25 is holding above light support near 34.09. If price continues higher, it may face light resistance around 35.17. View Support & Resistance from Options

Short-term strength is developing against a weaker long-term trend, which increases the risk of downside reversals.

Trend Alignment Summary

Trend score: 55 out of 100. Overall alignment is unclear. The market is currently in an early-stage uptrend. The longer-term trend is still negative, but short-term signals are not yet confirming it.

Pullback Risk

Price is far from its recent average (about 2.1 ATR away). Chasing the move at this level carries a higher risk of a pullback.

Key Risk Level

A key downside level is near 24.81. If price falls below this area, the current upward trend would likely weaken or break.

Recent Trend Signal

A systematic trend-activation signal was most recently triggered on 2026-03-09, reflecting a technical shift toward positive directional alignment.

Unusual Price Movement

[2026-02-24] Price moved quickly and looked strong, but participation was limited.

Recent Price Behavior

Overnight Positioning

What the model sees

The model stays neutral because the setup is not clear enough to justify a directional deployment.


Why the model says this

The model does not deploy this setup because predictability is still too low and price is still close to a gamma transition zone. Predictability is 30%, agreement is 62%, and reversal risk is 31%.

NOTE: This next-day up/down probability forecast module is still being tested for accuracy. Please do not rely on it for investment decisions. The model does not account for black swan events or company-specific fundamental news, and its estimates are based solely on technical conditions, capital flow, and market sentiment.

Recent Cost Distribution Last updated: 2026-03-25 (ET)

This reading is based on the last 20 trading days of 15-minute price, volume, and VWAP data. Price is modestly above the recent estimated cost basis of 33.62, so the recent structure is still on the firmer side. Price is in the lower half of the main cost band (33.94 to 34.79), so price support and pullback behavior matter more than immediate upside follow-through. Recent positioning looks fairly balanced, with 58% in profit and 42% under water. Recent trading is fairly concentrated, so the nearby heavy zones may matter more than usual. From a trading point of view, the most useful read is to compare price with the main cost band first, because there is no especially clear nearby support or overhead cluster right now.
