VIX trade ideas

Don't Be Fooled, Eyes on a Bearish VIXThe S&P 500 has dismissed (thus far) a failed Santa Claus rally by climbing to all-time-highs this week. But the VIX's low double digit position, even during the broader market's less-jolly, pullback into 2024, is a much more sure-footed warning historically, rather than a reason for investors to believe this time is different. The good news and not to look a gift horse in the mouth, pricing for protective hedges on stock and / or index holdings, is by and large, attractively cheap and a much stronger option than jumping in and out of the market imho.

Bullish RSI divergenceVIX has bullish RSI divergence on the 1hr timeframe. 20 SMA is switching from a resistance roll to a support roll soon. 50 SMA is acting as resistance line for falling wedge. 100 SMA and 200 SMA will converge and act as heavy resistance and prevent full breakout of wedge. VIX will fall back inside the wedge to the lower trendline for a little longer. (I had a longer more in-depth post but I had to delete it because I forgot something the first time, and forgot to copy the description. Not writing more)

VIX follows gas pricesGas prices seem to have predicted volatility better than other assets in the past half year. Could the trend persist? Both VIX and NG1 are poised to grow on a separate action. The winter is coming which means surging demand for electricity. A seasonal increase up to $3 seems attainable. VIX could gain if the reversal of the uptrend in the market will occur, which is quite likely considering that main indices all climbed up to ATH which historically causes correction in their prices

VIX showing that tension is expected soon in the stock markets.The Volatility Index (VIX) is trading within a Channel Down pattern since the September 28 2022 High, which has also been the start of the 2023 recovery year for the stock markets (SPX illustrated by the thin black trend-line). Being negatively correlated in nature, when VIX declined within this Channel, the stocks rose and vice versa. Since October 23 2023, VIX started to decline again and that sparked the stock rise which is holding up to this day, the end-of-the-year rally. However, we see a deceleration on VIX's decline, while its 1D MACD has formed a Bullish Cross since December 01. Being so close to the Channel Down bottom, a technical rebound is technically plausible and the pattern is recurring as it resembles a lot the previous Lower Lows. If it does reverse upwards, the SPX can react a few days later as during the previous bottom process and reversal (June 22 - July 27) it lagged. In any case, this pattern shows that by January 2024, we should expect heightened volatility translated potentially into a (short-term at least) pull-back on the stock market. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

VIX near signaling a correctionLow volatility is good for the market, but extreme low volatility is not As you can see, a lot of times where the TVC:VIX crossed 12 from below it signaled a correction within a bull market And is not just the VIX, there are other breath indicators that are converging at levels that usually signal correction I normally track the % of SPX stocks above their 50-day and 200-day MAs, NYSE New Highs/Lows and NYSE New 52-week Highs/Lows My target would be 4.300 in the SP:SPX

VIX hitting a solid long zone one weekly candlesI will be averaging into some vix calls over the remainder of the year. I believe it will stay relatively low for the near term. My calls will be 6 months out if possible. The vix is known for its spikes and Ill have triggers for it to sell at certain price points. I am also doing this because of a personal conviction of a slight/ or major pull back in the new year. Please leave comments, I love to learn and hear other perspectives!
CBOE:VIX
by calebgsmith2000
VIX Index at Lowest Levels Since 2017OVERVIEW As of 12/12/2023, CBOE:VIX is at 11.82. There have only been a handful of periods over the last 30 years where stock market volatility is at a similar level, including 2007 and 1994. Some would argue it implies an increasing level of volatility will be due in 2024. What is the VIX? The CBOE Volatility Index, is a real-time market index representing the market's expectations for volatility over the coming 30 days. Investors often refer to the VIX as the "fear index" or "fear gauge" because it is one of the most recognized measures of market volatility. Here's a breakdown of what the VIX represents: Volatility Measurement: The VIX measures the stock market's expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options. It is calculated using the bid and ask prices of S&P 500 index options. Forward-Looking: Unlike many market metrics that look at past performance, the VIX is forward-looking. It provides a 30-day forward projection of volatility. Market Sentiment Indicator: A high VIX value indicates that traders expect significant changes (volatility) in stock prices, which is often associated with market uncertainty or fear. Conversely, a low VIX suggests low expected volatility and is often associated with market stability. Not a Direct Stock Market Indicator : It's important to note that the VIX does not measure the direction of stock market movements. Instead, it measures how much the market is expected to fluctuate, regardless of the direction. Use in Investment Strategies: Some investors use the VIX to help in making decisions about market timing. For example, a high VIX might suggest a market turning point, leading some to consider it a good time to buy, while others might see it as a signal to sell. VIX Derivatives: There are various financial products, such as VIX futures and options, that allow investors to trade based on their views of future market volatility. Risk Management Tool: For portfolio managers and sophisticated investors, the VIX can be a tool to hedge against market volatility or to take a position on future volatility. In summary, the VIX is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices. It has become a crucial tool in financial markets for hedging, trading, and investment strategy formulation

VIX New Low is Probably Bullish for StocksOn 12/08/23 the VIX made a new low in its decline from the high in early 2022. The vast majority of the time the SPX will make its ultimate top with a VIX at a higher bottom. Please note what happened in early 2022. This is just one example of several VIX bottoming divergences over a period of many years. The VIX is very effective at catching important SPX tops. There's a high probabilty the SPX could continue higher until at least late December/early January 2024.

The VIX will be up 8% soon. 1. Higher Than Expected NFP Report: If the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report is higher than expected, indicating strong job growth, it could lead to increased market optimism. Paradoxically, this positive news might also cause concern among investors. They might worry that a robust job market could prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to prevent the economy from overheating. Higher interest rates can make borrowing more expensive for companies, potentially affecting corporate profits and slowing down economic growth. This uncertainty can lead to higher market volatility, causing the VIX to increase. 2. Apple's Declining Sales: If Apple reports a 3% drop in sales after close, it could negatively impact investor confidence in the technology sector and the overall market. Apple is a significant component of major stock indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. A decline in Apple's sales could lead investors to reevaluate their portfolios and adopt a more cautious approach, contributing to market uncertainty and potentially increasing the VIX. 3. Current Daily Support Level and Fibonacci Retracement: Technical analysis suggests that the market is currently at a daily support level and below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level in the weekly price range. Traders often pay attention to these levels as potential turning points in the market. If the market breaches these support levels, it could trigger selling pressure and increase market volatility, reflected in a higher VIX. In summary, a combination of a strong NFP report, Apple's declining sales, and technical factors indicating a potential market reversal could lead to increased uncertainty and higher market volatility, causing the VIX to rise. Investors tend to react to unexpected news and technical levels, which can influence market sentiment and impact the VIX accordingly.
