GME-style Returns in a Fortnight (UUP calls)There are compelling indicators that we are on a verge of a February 2021 market correction and the USD is expected to breakout due to investors moving from equities to bonds and USD. The VIX index and 10 year bond yield have increased significantly recently. 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.149% booked its largest weekly rise since June. A rising USD is another sign of impending liquidity crunch, debt implosion and stock market crash/ correction. It might mean people are demanding cash and supply is short. UUP.NYSE (consists 100% of Mar21DXH1/Dollar Index based on Invesco Product Detail Statement) is selected for the purpose of this research. It is evident from the chart that UUP has ‘predicted’ the March 2020 market crash and September and October 2020 market correction. The red flags are bullish UUP RSI rising towards the 70-80 range (a sign indicating smart money might be hedging their bets) and sustained MACD line (BLUE) movements above the MACD signal line (RED). Those two signals occur well ahead of the market crash and corrections, the RSI has 100% accuracy based on the most recent market dynamics. Moreover, February is the second worst month in the history of markets after September according to records dating back to 1928. Gamestop aftermath and Robinhood CEO testifying before Congress on February 19th might present uncertainty and trigger market sell-off. Lawmakers with stance similar to Kevin O’Leary (Democrat-Massachusetts Secretary of State) are expected to make headlines in the near future under the façade of ‘preventing little guys (retail investors) from getting hurt’ reducing retail investors margin and increasing current margin requirements (thus reducing investors firepower). COVID vaccine news have been priced in but vaccine shortage and constraints remains and investors might want to book into their profits. . Recent major indices futures are pointing down too and indicate the bullish momentum is falling. It might be a good time to hedge the market now through VIX or/ and UUP. VIX and UUP moves in the same direction but UUP calls are currently pennies with low implied volatility. UUP 19 Feb $ 26 calls are currently priced at $ 0.01, if UUP hits $26 on Feb 19, the profit and loss will be $ 4000 (on a $ 1000 investment) and $ 99,000 ($ 1000 investment) if UUP hits $ 27. opcalc.com

Gold-Copper Ratio, (very) LONG; This WAS the top of equities ...... most likely. Let's reason for a second. (Despite all the noise out there.) The title chart is the Monthly Gold/Copper Ratio, e.g. is very powerful. (It does not tend to turn on a dime!) This has just completed the month of Jan. 2021. 1) It has finished the month by completing a Bullish Hammer, bouncing off of the (very) round number / level of 500; 2) It did so exactly at the 78% retracement of the March 2020 highs - i.e. Pandemic equity lows; Then, instead of continuing down (equities continuing to rally) it did turn "on a dime" and finished in a Bullish Hammer - raring to go higher, i.e. equities lower. 3) As of this moment, the above picture, provides one with two distinct possibilities. a) That massive (Monthly!!) Bearish Deep Crab is going to bear down it's target at the - very - round 1000, e.g. sending the SP500, Dow and Nasdaq to a better than >65% Decline; (Most likely!) b) This ratio is going to trace back, close to the March, 2020 highs - Pandemic Equity lows - where it's going to reverse and rise, once again. I.e. The test of the March, 2020 equity lows are going to hold. Either way, the significant take away here is this; Unless these most recent Equity Index highs are taken out very soon - e.g. with this next month - Equities are headed strait to test the March, 2020 lows, where the obvious question remains: Will those hold? Have a nice day and stay short equities! Here is the Weekly chart;

S&P 500 Ascending Channel - Short SetupSPX500 Short Trade Entry: $3,866.6 TP & RR: $3,840.5 (1.13) Stop Loss: $3,889.7 REASONS FOR THE TRADE Straight off the bat, you notice two things here - ascending channel and opening a position against the trend with what I consider a bad Risk:Reward Ratio of just over 1. However, I believe that price can form a double top with bearish divergence, retrace back to the lower trendline and then continue up. Of course, we will be looking to open a long order somewhere at the lower trendline. Stop Loss is set pretty high in case there's a fakeout. However, we will close the position if there's a convincing close above the recent high.

S&P 500 Reaches a Level of Resistance - Short TradeSPX500 - Short Position(s) Entries: $3,784.4 / 3826.8 TP & RR: $3,728.8 (3.29 / 4.12) Stop Loss Levels: $3,801.3 / $3,850.6 REASONS FOR THE TRADE I think it's time for the SPX500 to take a break from this bull run. As such, I am expecting that price will reach either of the two levels that I would like to short. The Risk:Reward Ratio is favorable and the Stop Loss is just above the invalidation levels. Now, you may be wondering why the SL of the first short is not placed higher, somewhere around the second order's SL. The problem is in the Risk:Rewards Ratio. If I am to do that, I will need to adjust my position size to account for the bigger gap between entry and SL. Also, the RRR of 3.29 will fall down to 0.84. So, even if I short from the first level and the setup proves to be valid, I will increase my capital by less than 1%, compared to over 3% if I keep the trade as it is. Even if the first setup is invalidated, and we open a profitable short on the second level, the profit of 4.12R will compensate for the 1R loss and we will be at a profit of 3.12R. Of course, it would be unpleasant to lose 1% of the account, but that's just how trading works. You either take the risk or you lose the chance. On a side note, since it's Monday, I am not placing those as limit orders, rather I have set alerts at the levels. When we reach them I will look at the volume, the 1h candle close, and will update the idea. We don't want to blindly place orders and hope for the best.

S&P500 : The completion of the Diagonal patternIn240 minutes chart of the uptrend from the range of 3511 to 3833 is in the form of 3 waves which confirms the scenario of the formation of the Diagonal pattern. Currently, to get the the confirmation of the downtrend,the price should not cross the range of 3841,because the 3rd wave should not be shorter than the other waves. By crossing the price from this range,this scenario will be violated. Thee confirmation for this pattern will be received by the formation of 5 descending waves,and by crossing the price from the range of 3660. According to monitored position, personally,I set the short order. By considering the RSI you can also see the convergence

Interesting theory on SPY: possible ST short?Bear case (just a theory): If we take a look at time and space on this daily chart, 25 bars (35 days) for the trough-peak-trough before the election. If we take the FDA talk on the vaccine for the same whatever reason, I believe there is a possible downside of ~9% until Dec 9th, a trough-peak-trough total of 29 bars (36 days). - Yellow trend line act as support. - Volume has been a downtrend. - The two overheard white trendlines represent a strong resistance on the daily and weekly charts. (candles move easier towards less resistance direction) - Technically only tested bottom support twice (red shadow or yellow trendline), possibly the third time? - Small rsi divergence on weekly. Bull case: Priced in. Spy looking to break overheard trendlines or move closely with it. - Tested the overhead trendlines three times with the last retest completed, possibly going higher. (green arrow) - Options pricing in more downward risks but not so much upside risk. (this is normal due to the nature of hedging) pasteboard.co - For educational purpose: www.tastytrade.com - Some of the macros: 10yr yield steady uptrend, low vix, gold downtrend, dollar going for new low since march. Just a theory, will keep my longs on, may just short with an option contract or two to defend downside risk.
