Opened (IRA): IWM October 21st 170 Short Put... for a 1.78 credit.
Comments: Targeting the <16 strike in the shortest duration paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. This is more of "I need small cap long delta" than "this is a really great place to put on small cap long delta" trade, so probably not the best entry point to do this, although we're getting a little bit of weakness here today.
IWM
RTY UpdateUnlike ES and NQ, RTY already hit oversold, and small caps tend to fill gaps. I'm looking at a bunch of crap stocks like W that seem to be acting like they want to fill the gap tomorrow or Monday.
IWM is probably your best bang for the buck if you're bullish on indices.
I would stay away from meme stocks, though it could be an up day for those as well.
$SPY - Switching to a Heavy ShortI've been talking about the market rallying upwards in my previous posts since June/July, and finally it's time for me to go short ( heavy ) in this market. :-) We've had strong #DP prints at these high levels that lead me to believe buyers are scaling out of their positions if not completely out. The flows have been consistent over the past couple of weeks with heavy Put flow today. We've been experiencing hard resistance this week, and re-testing it as the #FOMO fueled market drives upwards. At the most, I'm anticipating for a #bullish fake out if we do see more upside movement in the market.
Reiterating my belief that we're far from the 2-2.5% #inflation and events like the spending bills passing will only serve to aggravate inflation. I've been keeping my expectations on where I feel the market will likely trend. This time around, I see us making a new low in the next 6-12 months if not sooner this upcoming fall.

RTY Almost oversoldI still don't think that was the top, looks to me like we get another pump when RTY MFI gets oversold.
Was busy timing my AMC play, lol. Dumped on the gap fill overshoot and just re-entered, figured it wasn't gonna go down more than a buck. Might wind up being a day trade, planning on bailing if teh market doesn;t kick up after the Euro markets close.
Seems to me like small caps went a little overboard on sell, but the Euros finally dumped so there could be another gap down tomorrow.
RTY UpdateThe melt up and short squeeze continues. I have it continuing until next Tuesday when RTY hits the resistance zone.
I don't normally play melt ups but bought some AMC calls for kicks and giggles on the dips this morning. If the market is acting stupid, then you need to be stupid too, lol. The only way to make money is to go with the flow.
Prediction is up tomorrow, a dip Thu and Friday open, then full pumptardedness until Tuesday.
SPY Weekly review and Forecast: August 15th, 2022 The Summer rally continued this week on the back of strong earnings by Disney ($DIS) and the market interpreting CPI data as inflation cooling. However, I think the market internals are telling a more important story. This week, the market paced by the financials... on Thursday, the XLF tested the upper edge of its weekly expected move and ultimately broke outside of it on Friday, leading to a textbook end of week Gamma squeeze. Below is a snapshot of this past week's action (percentage gains/losses, expected moves for the upcoming week) and some ideas about what we may see in the coming week.
SPY +1.69% (+/-7.65)
QQQ +1.95% (+/- 9.33)
IWM +2.04% (+/- 5.06)
____________________
Technology +1.99%
Energy +0.76%
Financials +1.57%
____________________
VIX: -3.32% (19.52; ~30% IV Percentile)

Next week has some potentially market moving events like PMI (Tuesday), and GDP (Thursday), as well as a few other data drops scattered throughout the week. The SPY closed within a point of the intermediate level of 428 I added last week. The rally has been fierce, so I have to wonder how much higher it might go before we see some kind of a pull back. Rather than try and guess what the action is going to be like, I think the XLF is holding the cards. Its at a key area on possible resistance on it's Daily Volume Profile... a meaningful break above will likely drag the rest of the market up to 440. If it rejects, it will likely lead to a pull back in the broader market. Also worth noting, SKEW continues to rise, signaling that a bout of volatility could be looming.
Opening (Margin): IWM September 30th 178 Short Put... for a 1.80 credit.
Comments: Not a great place or a great IV environment to be doing this, but looking to offset some of my IWM short delta. Previously, I did a covered call, but I don't need that much long delta here at the moment, so am doing a lower delta out-of-the-money short put and will add at intervals if necessary. Delta/theta 15.18/5.

Bearish on Russell 2000 ETF. IWMGoals 0.56, 0.49. Invalidation at 0.89.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe
Another false breakout for the Russell 2000?The Russell 2000 has been prone to false breakouts since last fall as the index rallied to all time highs then failed at the end of 2021. The move from Monday/Tuesday of this week could set up the same fate for the index especially if the highly anticipated #CPI data comes in hotter than expected. You can also see that the November 2021, March 2022 and highs this week marked a turn in RSI as well. Tomorrow's data should have a strong impact on the index.
$IWM 280 by end of 2024?Market starting to show signs of a final melt up ? Just offering this bull case, of course we could certainly see 120 before 280, but 200 weekly MA has offered support in the past followed by strong moves up, less 2008 financial crisis and 2020 covid crash.
So I guess real question for the bear case would be - what is the black swan event ? Because for certain Inflation, war , etc. are just headwinds. A true BLACK SWAN EVENT is needed it seems.. what will it be then ?
My bias is long ... for now :)
$ARKK Finally a buy ? ARKK - The bearish sentiment and hate against miss Cathie Wood is pretty strong as her flagship ARKK fund has gone from a high of $160 to low $35 this past week, nearly erasing ALL gains and now total 5 year return in line with the market at 13.8%. If you're a contrarian, you love the idea of going long here.
I prefer technical and price action which as of now I think ARKK has a good R/R and am looking for a trade to $55 price target in the near term.
- Huge volume last week as sellers appear to be exhausting and a bullish hammer candle
- Currently at FOUR year support line
- RSI in over sold zone
- PT 55 coincides nicely with 10weeklyMA at 56
- Even in bear markets we see upside rallies (another opportunity to short)
This is a trade idea, as a longer term investor I'd be waiting for a solid base and breakout above 30wkMA, and I still see any bull rally in this name as another opportunity to go short.
Further downside is limited and favor the risk return down here.
Let's see :)
