Join Larry McMillan as he discusses the current state of his option-oriented stock market indicators.
McMillan Volatility Bands are an alternative approach to John Bollinger's "Bollinger Band" study and developed by world-renowned options trader and author Lawrence G. McMillan. Given his background in options trading, it was natural for Lawrence to approach any volatility-based study in the same manner options are priced – using Black-Scholes definition of volatility.
Stocks continue to rally, as they have been since March 23rd. There was a rather sharp pullback about a week ago, but it merely pulled back to the rising 20-day moving average. After having touched it, $SPX is rallying again.
There is resistance at 2955 -- last week's high -- and it appears that might be challenged again soon. Above there, there are a number of resistance areas near 3000, including the declining 200- day Moving Average.

$SPX managed to climb above the 2880 level this week and moved above 2900. Our initial estimate of resistance in the 2850- 2900 area was thus overcome, and the declining 50-day Moving Average was overcome as well. Now the next resistance level seems to be at 3000, which is where the declining 200-day Moving Average is.

The oversold rally that began on March 23rd has run into some resistance in the 2850 2900 area. The declining 50-day Moving Average of $SPX has, so far, acted as a hindrance towards further upside progress as well.

Stocks have continued to rally, for the most part, although the rally was beginning to break down a bit technically until a positive news report about an antiviral for the coronavirus sickness spurred an 80- point rally in S&P futures overnight.
We continue to feel that the 2850-2900 range on $SPX represents some resistance. There is more or less resistance all the way up to the next significant level, at 3010 (which is also where the 200-day moving average is).
