Market shows signs of building fear with VIX above 25, multiple panic headlines matching keywords like 'worst week since' and 'market crash', and broad indices down today. However, consecutive down days are only 2, short of the 3 minimum, and S&P 500 drawdown is -3.32%, below the 5% threshold. Overall, this aligns with a soft buy signal amid elevated volatility but not full panic.
