TQQQ reaching some Resistance (SHORT)Analysis based on long term trend lines and forming wedge. Moving averages starting to curl downward. Daily RSI is very high. Bought Put 11/5 dated 11/19 for $157.00. $2. No stop loss.
In hindsight, it would probably be more advantageous to purchase a longer-dated put such as 1-month out, December 10th, and raised the price target close to the current share price, about $169, so that the risk of being out of the money at expiration is lower. The premium in that case would be more like $10. Loss due to theta decay would decrease. However, in that scenerio, a stop loss would be necessary due to the significantly higher premium. Also in that scenerio, it would be necessary to take into account the larger spread, about $0.50. Entry limit as close to the bid price as possible and wait for order to fill is a must. For the $2 put for 11/5 at $157, the spread was very small, about $0.02.

We were Correct - 100% Correct.
Thereby creating a large Event taking the Equity Complex to its knees

a Counter-Trend, only to reverse and Trade to closer to the 400SMAs.
Nothing, and I am quite resolute in this Thesis, has changed.

I posted a VIX study earlier today on the 1W timeframe (it’s the post directly before this)
Now bringing it down to the Daily chart - another bearish MA crossover. Always a deep spike when these averages cross. YIKES…
I hate being THIS bearish… but I do not think is is good.
Trade carefully guys. I personally love volatility, but just know your limits - it could get bumpy

The longer that VIX stays under the MacD centerline the more Violent the Spike is when it does cross up. Normally we see corrections much more often that return stocks and etf’s back to the 180EMA. The fact that we have not seen a crossover AND that we are SO FAR above the 180EMA makes me believe that this will be quite a violent correction.

NQ1! - Double Diamond - NFP EveLarger 2 Hour Pennant formed by Twin Diamonds over the course of the week. Diamond #1, fueled by the ADP miss, proved to be a continuation of the uptrend. Diamonds serve as both continuation and reversal patterns. NAS with support at the 2 hour 50 SMA and Resistance at the 2 hour MBB.
VXN - NQ VolatilityNasdaq continue to ride the 2010-2011 Peak's Upper Trend Line.
VXN's range is disturbing as it broke the 19 level. 13s are now open
for a potential blowoff.
Banging its head repeatedly, it has been difficult to ease into a
SELL position that can be held... new highs, larger negative divergences.
Straddling the Upper Boundary on the Weekly chart remains the trade
for NQ.
It has lost all momentum, making a lower low in trend - only to reverse
and make new ATHs.
Semiconductors were the leader for NQ - MU AMD INTC NVDA AMAT AVGO
TXN QCOM ASML TSM all had large CALL BUYING to wreck the NQ Sellers.
SOXS holders as well, a large destruction of Price to new lows.

ES - Channel Surfing 2hr - NQ YM RTY SOXS TQQQ TLT ZN ZB ARKKFriday's WRR was symptomatic of how the Order Book and Market @ depth can be
rung like a Bell - Every stop was smoked.
We held 493s @ 12 after peeling off the same ahead of Thursday. A solid and comfortable
buffer of 8 Handles giving us a 501 B/E - Stop was 96, the reaction level and prior PO.
Wrecked in minutes, All positions took the poker, hot.
NQ was the leader into Thursday close, making a lower low on the Hourly, while finishing
Friday @ new ATHs. The only trade taken in NQ was the initial higher high @ 428 to 390 on
80 MNQ scaled in from 426. This Sell became the fuel for the next stop run higher. Retail
Traders entered and reentered the Sell all day only to be crushed under the Futures bid.
The Semis bid took SOXS to new lows, ending our position on Stop - our largest loser in
17 months.
TQQQ stopped .38 below entry. TLT ZN ZB closed @ 0.12%+ ARKK Stopped at ~ Entry and on

ES Chart illustrates the higher targets - and lower 4441/4444 Support - 80 Handle range.
What it does not show is the following - Market on Close orders were followed on in
Globex - the Sell imbalances... were immense.
Perhaps those in the know, knew the Drone Strike retaliation was on Deck.
It is clear we are in a Large topping process, with stop run after stop run the tool in trade.
Where this terminates now is a WAG.
The very moment everything lines up in a large SELL, the rescue operation doubles down
and makes New ATHs on expanding divergences.
Frustrating in the extreme as it requires very large drawdowns, unacceptable drawdowns
on Capital.
Hedging DEC SELLs with SEP Bids Intra-Day has worked, although the Risks in continuing this
balance is so extreme, we are going to remain in CASH with an extreme negative position
structure.
