IBB trade ideas
IBB: Previous year's darling index. IBB has been one of those indexes that has been very easy to trade with, but "blink and you'll miss it" kinda deal. It's been a rough ride for the year, and if the chart is any indication, it's about to get tougher for this index (and its components) soon. No where but down.
Biotechnology ETF $IBB Short Level RevealedThe biotechnology ETF $IBB has limited upside near-term. The max upside is $306.75. This is the level that Pro Traders will be shorting. Notice below the range the $IBB has been trading in. When it hits $306.75, it will be the high end of the range. The downside could be huge on this trade, with the lower target of the range at $250.00.

IBB: Go long, hedge or notSame theme as SPY, we have an excellent long opportunity here. I like the VIX and pseudo-VIX activity today (USDMXN if you might ask), so I think we have a bottom in place here. Stop is a new low, risk 0.5% going long at market open, add to reach 1% risk on dips in the following 3 days. You may or not hedge with either a half size LABD position, or IBB puts at $255, Dec 16 expiration.
Good luck!

IBB approaching support.Technically Speaking
IBB is approaching support at 240.
A break under 240, could see a move toward 200.
What to do?
I will watch and see what happens at the 240 level. I am looking to buy if it holds.
If it breaks, I am looking to buy at the 200 level.
Ultimately, I am looking for a move back above 300.
