I've discussed VIX and VXX before. A base seems to be in. As long as the blue trend line holds, there is no reason not to think this will go higher. Perfect spot to go long. The downside is so minimum.
On a purely chartist approach, VIX is about the make a double bottom, which is that case would make 17.35 the neck line and after a pull back over 17.35 toward 20+ This has to be confirmed of course. On the other hand, with the tappering the end of FED's QE3, there may much more volatility in the market because traders will be on there own..... Let's wait and see
VIX is turning its trend to a long position. The upside of VIX is not a technical correction but rather an initial sign of a trend on the upside. Generaly when DOWI is UP VIX is down and when VIX is up DOWI is down. whereas when both of them are on the upside, it is a clear sign of a reversal. Therefore one can estimate that DOWI will go on the upside first...
The Stock Exchanges are rather overperforming. The economic datas are not that good, but the market is expecting ECB President Draghi to release fresh money in the market. But there may be a reason to release the money in the market and thus this would only be possible when the market go to a severe correction otherwise, tax payer would not understand the reason...
When trading Indexes, it is always good to have a look on the volatility index and with Ichimoku, it is clear that the upside movement is very near. The indicators such as STOCH or RSI show that we are either at oversold level like STOCH or about to reach it with RSI. The Kumo Cloud shows a clear future turn in the trend. It means that when VIX is up, indexes...
This August is critical. IF VIX break out + SPY breaks down, the long waited correction may finally happen. Dashed blue lines are long term supports. So watch the thick pink lines.
Just a bloop until know, but keep it on your radars... VIX super low. Stuff is brewing but nothing more... Do not front run deep shit trouble.
Bonds appeared to break out of a flag consolidation pattern today in the TLT Bond ETF. If this fund can close over 115.50 there is upside range to 117.50 and then ~119 as next target. This seems to be coinciding with US Dollar chart firming up as well as the VIX index closing over the key 14 level. This is a key chart to watch over the coming days and weeks.
Based on this pattern triggering on a move over ~21.60 you could expect a measured move to ~22 before hitting resistance. The timing of this breakout seems to be coinciding with market topping action which further strengthens the likelihood of this chart having predictive utility. This chart taken together with today's breakout in Treasuries (TLT) and over 30%...
RSI divergence and bullish wedge suggest a short term breakout is likely for 20%+ gain.
1. I measured the distance off the Ichimoku Cloud, just before markets crashed in 2000 & 2008. We are definitely way too above the cloud support right now. 2. Assessing the data after 1994, the JMA2 moving average is currently in the longest uptrend streak ever, which has been running for 729 days. The uptrend is noted by the white line on the candles, and black...
MArket was too over confident. But if you keep an ear to CB's managers ie Draghi, Yellen and other, world economy is in a good path, and even if it is not, we will ease the monetary situation and continue to provide liquidity. But because of the correction the market is facing, VIX may move upside in order to hedge the short position on Indexes. On on purely...
Here we are. As forseen for several days, the correction on indexes has been ignited. SPX has started the initiative following by DOWI DAX NASDAQ CAC SMI and tomorrow it will continue with IBEX35. On the other hand, VIX jump up one to a sudden. The midway to the correction may be around 1840-1820. Here we are.... At last....In the mean time those who are...
If World economy was good, ECB wouldn't think about putting into the market a European QE, nor would it plan any ABS or LTRO. ECB wouldn't lower the interest rate that low, even on the negative side in order to push the banks to give loans which bank do not give. They do prefer to earn money from the market through options, warrants, turbo calls etc....
Well, VIx is in a forced uptrend, because of the oversold level on the one hand, and the overconfidence of the market on the other. It means that all indexes are higher then they should be. Stoch switch from the oversold level to a regular long level. This is the initial sign of a reversal trend in Indexes as well as on VIX. At least a technical correction for...
Despite briefly dipping below 12, based on this chart interpretation the VIX is still poised for a rather large spike this summer. First trigger would be a move over ~14 then a push through major resistance ~19.50 - 20 would probably see a rapid ramp towards the low 30's. This would roughly correlate to a 20-30% correction in the SPX. Watch to see if the VIX can...
CIX is always a nice counter mesure tool to confirm the direction of the indexes. The market was too overconfident and VIX was at its lowest level. But there are initial signs on a technical level that show clearly the reversal trend i.e VIX may move up, and indexes may move down. STOCH and MACD give the hint. We need to see a confirmation if it is just a...
