VIX futures in particular have drawn a pattern that is especially dangerous for the broader markets, and which I think should be respected, a right-angled ascending triangle with a possible target up around 38. This is a very big deal!

If we reach this chart target on VIX futures, than it is safe to say that the 1867 SPX low will not hold, and neither will expected support at 1820. Rather, I think we could go as low as 1740 SPX this week on this kind of surge, triggered with crash-like moves on tomorrow's early morning data releases.
A low of 1740 would be an extremely ominous event here. First, it would mean that it is highly unlikely that we regain the 1900 level on the SPX; recent dip buyers would be stranded with losses, which would become more severe as the new Bear continues.
Second, 1740 SPX would become a neckline for a vicious head-and-shoulders pattern, one that would drop us to the 1346 SPX level as early as the first week of October.
The VIX chart is screaming danger for the short-term. Do be careful.
