Using VIX and pivots, 8/25/2016 was the most threatening day for the market since 6/10/2016. The reason? 6/10 jumped above the VIX June pivot, and 8/25 closed above the August pivot. But I submit there is a difference in the explosion higher with clear look of support in June compared to the tepid range bound day in August.

SPY managed to hang on to its YR1 by .07, and ES1 kept the look of support from its YR1 as well. Let's see if those hold tomorrow.
