The VIX spiked above 30 last week. It's still sitting above 20, where market fear tends to dig in. S&P 500 companies told a different story. 54% of Q1 EPS guidance came in positive, against a five-year average of just 42%. Only 51 firms went negative, the fewest since Q4 2021. Semiconductors and tech are leading the bullish charge. Earnings season starts April 13. Right now, fear and corporate reality are pointing in opposite directions.

Trade US SP 500 CFDs on Deriv MT5. A $200 position controls $100,000 of index exposure, spread from 0.36 points.
