Daily Recap - Will the Market Ever Go Down?
A recap of today's action and opportunities I saw. I posted several ideas earlier and a lot of them have already triggered and worked so that's nice. It's been fairly easy to just buy dips lately because VX stalls every chance it gets, but I believe things are going to get a lot more dangerous soon.
I have been speculating about a big market crash for a few months, but as I've noted, we just haven't had the VX strength for a significant move down that lasts. That is beginning to change now. ES and NQ are near all time highs, meanwhile VX is nowhere near the all time low. VX was completely crushed this summer and spent most of it making new all time lows. Now it has become extremely elevated relative to ES in my opinion and it has lasted for weeks, but has been kept in check so far.
VIX is near 18 and has routinely traded near and above $20 while SPY is sitting near ATH. That is extremely unusual and should cause everyone to throw some caution flags up. That being said, this is why VX is so important to me here at 18.40. If it can't hold, it will likely go back in decay mode like this summer and then I'd be more optimistic for equities. VX has a long way to fall at the moment, but it hasn't yet.
In addition to elevated VX and VIX, we have interest rates and DXY soaring along with gold and silver. There could not be a bigger warning signal than what we are seeing right now with interest rates spiking straight up after a 50bps cut. Not to mention global tensions, bank failures, and whatever else might happen for a catalyst. It's coming and couldn't be more obvious. It may not happen until after the election, but it will be swift.
