Hey guys, If any of you have seen, I was calling a 500 point (conservative) dip in the Nasdaq a couple weeks ago and we seem to have got around that (A 900 point dip, even better). Correction seems to be over for the most part. We have a positive slopping 5 Day Moving Average, the Ichimoku cloud seems to have some good readings here indicating a strong uptrend....
This is a commonly used calculation that many traders use, I believe it's also part of the CMT.
Support for S&P 500 Futures was just broken. Aggressive downtrend is expected. Most probably market should open with a gap down tomorrow. This downtrend should take the VIX to new 2018 high. This would be wrong, if the market turns back and go over the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $2745.00.
P announces earnings on 2/21 after market close; HLF on 2/22 after market. Any vol contraction plays you choose to pull the trigger on should be put on shortly before the close before which earnings are announced, when the background implied volatility is likely to be at its highest. With background implied volatility over 100%, the obvious play in P is a...
Bold move, over exposure. You ready? Short VXX which tracks the VIX. Buy XIV which is inverse to the VIX. Buy SPXL which is a 3x levered SP500 ETF Short SPXS which is a 3x levered short SP500 ETF If this isnt just a correction were screwed, if not, then congrats.
Vix spikes over the past year been sold off rapidly. But with Short Vix ETF under liquidation .. The current rally may have lags similar to May 2010 and Aug 2011.. Where we see couple of months of high readings supported by rising moving averages.. This also indicate further selling in markets
You can see the company has the biggest volume probably ever, or in a long time at least. It is shorts covering. They revealed the previous day that they would be divesting from their VAR project, which accounted for 93% of revenue. They just diluted shares signifantly, then did a reverse split. They even tried a vote in December, which failed, so had to hold...
Wait VIX 10MA touch 200MA to buy the dip
The March S&P 500 Futures contract (ESH18) has finally had a pullback after months of no volatility. We had a -65 point pullback in ES and the VIX spiked up to 17.86. Where do we go next? The technicals are pointing sideways to lower, after smashing through 2805 which was the 20 Day SMA coinciding with the 0.236 Fibo retracement. Support Levels: 2755 - .382 Fibo...
VIX broke out of triangle
VIX Higher Highs Swing Up Color Green Number 6
Eth btc and Neo have now returned to critical areas. They are all at resistance. I believe that all markets are connected to some extent. We saw what happened with US equities over the past few days. Volatility was very low (reflected in VIX ETF ) . Many were profiting from XIV the inverse ETF. When one side of a trade gets too crowded then opportunity presents on...
Some thoughts and harmonics on the current state of the vix.
If this doesn't look like a #proshares inside job, I don't know what is. Everyone lost huge, even though we are seeing VIX decline today. Noone deserves this. Lawsuits soon for sure, especially due to the fact #proshares decided to resume trading, unlike XIV. What a mess.
With equity and debt markets at all time highs, coupled with slowing growth and a prolonged bull market it may be time to start hedging your portfolio. One way to do this is through the VIX index-tracking ETF:VXX. Attahched is a chart of the actual index and you can see that in times of market pullbacks, the VIX spikes to unbeleivable levels. Good luck! I will be...
BB>KC that is. $XIV, $SVXY inflows destroyed yesterday
Greetings to all other contrarians and bears out there. The moment you have all been waiting for has given us a small taste of how dangerous the markets can really get. I just want to leave by saying that: "Beauty has a name, and she is called VIX".
