Volatility Compression Supports a Bullish Open — June 8, 2026

Published pre-open at 8:00 AM ET. Outcome reviewed 2026-06-16.

Monday's report leaned bullish because volatility compression was the clearest signal: VIX dropped 12.55% while NQ, RTY, ES, and YM were all positive. The equity-index move had broader participation than today's tape, with NQ and RTY leading risk appetite. The weak spot was confirmation risk after the open, especially if buyers could not hold the premarket range once cash liquidity arrived.
