Most people think that because we had a vix spike in early August and that stocks are now near all-time-highs, we're going back to a short volatility and long equity environment. However, I think this time is different. From a technical perspective, we've been consolidating in falling wedge since the move higher in March 2008 and the move on August 5th setoff the...
With reports that Mideast mediators are advancing towards a cease-fire deal, the TVC:VIX could experience a sharp decline on Monday. 📉 This reduction in volatility might lead to increased market stability and potential gains across equities. How are you positioning your portfolio in response to these developments? #VIX #MarketVolatility #Equities...
S&P pulled back 78% of the fall Nasdaq pulled back 61% of the fall Dow pulled back 78% of the fall IWM pulled back 50% of the fall Impressive rips for 2 weeks of trading for the "buy the dip" community. This week's direction was steady in futures, and gaps higher in indexes from opening to closing bell. I'm keeping the charts as clean and simple as possible....
Monday - UP Tuesday - UP Wednesday - UP Thursday - UP SPY has put together 2 weeks with 20+ points from low to high eclipsing the averaging 14/15 point average true range for the week - it really is wild stuff!!! I try to make some sense of everything today with an inverse cup & handle pattern on the SPY/SPX/ES levels. I dive into September/October seasonality...
This the ETF that shorts VIX. I bought this on Friday. Still a good entry point if it doesn't open with a big gap up on Monday, which I don't it happens. SL at 28, tp 35 or even more.
3 straight weeks of setting from mid-July crescendos with a crash August 2. But the "crash" was met with a vicious buying spree that now places the major index 50% of so from the large high to low swing. In this video, I breakdown the technicals and scenarios trying to make some sense of where we could be heading. We are mostly through Q2 earnings. PPI and CPI...
Bought some calls here expire 08/23. Strike 25. Let's how it plays out. SPY hitting a major resistance.
I was trying to load up more NQ shorts, and VIX was a pretty good signal when you are looking for a bottom. The 17-18ish level is compelling for bears, and the recent declining in traded volumes further substantiates a real bear market is around the corner. I am adding up more shorts post-CPI with less IV. And let us see what happens next!
CBOE:VIX ░▒💀▒░ VIX FORECAST| WW3 MARKETS COLLAPSE ░▒💀▒░ MAJOR OPPORTUNITY TO TRIPPLE UP (OR MORE) Hello Everyone, I trust you all are doing well and hope that many of you took the opportunity and bought that bottom of $15K for BTC that I called a year in advance. If you did then you're sitting pretty with BTC holding around $60K. This sideways action...
#vix index is accumulating for another impulsive wave. Huge volatility is at the door, beware.
Check out the VIX, just landed on the 20 level. I think is going to retest t he 30 level soon. Tomorrow Core PPI numbers are out. This could be the trigger. You can buy calls of VXX or UVXY if you want to play this one. I have my shorts well loaded. Don't need options.
VIX call inflows were huge today! Support held. There is also a bullish reversal doji candle on the close. Watch for the strong reversal to come next
good eve' over the last 4 weeks the es1! has seen a bit of a shakeout which has scared a lot of people out of the market. whenever these things happen, i always wonder what it is that they're afraid of? --- the es1! completed 5 waves up on a weekly timeframe from the 2023 low which we predicted, to the 2024 top which we did not pinpoint this time around. i'm...
Many traders were looking for answers this week. What just happened? The quick summary is the JPY carry trade was quickly unwinding and as the Nikkei 225 was dumping with the largest 2 day move (EVER) the JPY volatility increased. On top of that, the FED didn't cut rates in July (as expected) and elected to punt to September (with likely 25 bps cut forecasted)....
VIX vs SPX, monthly chart. Large spikes after a sustained and controlled downside wedge end up with big crashes on the stock index
Broken the long term wedge (since 2020). These breakouts normally come with big corrections on the SPX
#VIX 1M chart; The VIX (Volatility Index) is an indicator that measures the expected volatility of the market and is often referred to as the " fear index ". In short, low values indicate a calm market, while high values indicate a tense market with higher stress levels. By the way, this chart is mainly used by those who trade in the options market. So what's...
In my previous #vix ideas i highlighted " something big is cooking" . Yes something big is happened in #nikkei , but i warn you now " something huge is cooking" . NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
