VIX CBOE Volatility Index

VIX could explode anytimeCan you remember the Corona Crash? VIX spiked up to a reading of 80. and VIXL made a stunning 3500% profit!!! I think a similar event is about to happen over the next 6 month's. (most likely just around the corner) Right now we are in a Bear Market, and we haven't seen capitulation yet, which is quite normal in such a market. When this happens the VIX should spike up to 45-80 which would equqal with enourmous profits in VIXL (probably 5-30x) Right now VIXL is around a reading of 1. I just wanted to remind everyone of this oppertunity. Of course, long term you lose money with VIXL, but when you expect a VIX above 40 it can get very profitable short term. Just an idea from me, no investing advice. Cheers✌

I Am NOT UNCERTAIN, 10th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ I'm borrowing that quote from the TV Series Billions. The market is NOT UNCERTAIN that things are UNCERTAIN. There's one thing markets don't like and that is uncertainty. ➤ The results of the mid-term elections in the US are UNCERTAIN. I'm no political expert but if Republicans win the House and Democrats win the Senate or with some sort of coalition, the division will cause friction with pushing through policy decisions. Furthermore, things may be undecided till December if there are run-offs due to the close voting...the UNCERTAINTY will only be removed through time. ➤ Incoming Inflation data is also adding to the UNCERTAINTY. Luckily, this will be out of the way by Thursday. Market participants will make a decision quickly. ➤ In the previous note, I said that the ball is in the Bear's court. Today, they pushed prices lower to form a lower high. This dents the chances for a continued uptrend in the immediate future. ➤ I've strengthened my bearish view by moving to a -34% short exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: By no means am I a high conviction Bear. We are only at the 1st innings. That I am NOT UNCERTAIN.

Bitcoin, Weekly, My long-term viewI present my long-term view on the crypto market in the coming time. Currently, my focus is on the current bear market—how it is going, how it will run, and where it can end. In my opinion, when analyzing the cryptocurrency market, we should be focused on the stock market as a leading market. Actually, I consider the 2008 analogy to the S&P 500 index and the VIX synthetic index. I made an idea for VIX for that (link below), and I will do the second one for SPX. I took this analogy into account when adjusting the path of the potential BTC's price behavior. A bit drastic view, but it is known that cryptocurrencies have not survived the recession yet.

What do USD/MXN and S&P 500 VIX have in common?The Mexican peso (MXN) is one of the conventional high-beta currencies traded on the forex market, making it extremely susceptible to changes in risk sentiment on global financial markets. When MXN inflows occur, it usually signals that investors are willing to take risks. In the last three months, USD/MXN has lost 3%, making the peso one of the best-performing currency in 2022. Much of the MXN's outperformance has been the result of a very hawkish Mexican Central Bank, which hiked interest rates up to 9.25%, the highest since 2005. Another 75bps hike is expected at November 10th meeting, which would bring Mexican rates to 10%. Aside from the Banxico hiking cycle in Mexico, the Peso has a strong correlation with global risk factors, namely the stock market volatility. To put it another way, historically, the USD/MXN pair and the S&P volatility index ( VIX ) have behaved similarly. What are we seeing now? The USD/MXN 14-day RSI indicator has entered oversold territory, highlighting the need for caution for investors willing to take on more risk at this stage, as MXN valuations are beginning to appear rather stretched. Therefore, the bearish momentum for both USD/MXN and the VIX might have reached a peak. Aside from the results of the midterm elections, investors will almost definitely have to digest another strong US CPI data this week. Analysts predict 8% annual inflation in October, with core inflation at 6.5%. If actual results match or exceed estimates, Fed interest rate expectations will likely be reassessed higher. As the U.S. and Mexican economies are highly interdependent, the anticipated cyclical weakening of the U.S. economy bodes poorly for the Mexican economy and adds to MXN downward pressures.

First Signs, 9th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ DJIA, the blue chip equity index, continues to outpace all other US indices. It is quite remarkable. Never have I seen such outperformance. It is TELLING US something... ➤ I think the first signs of a longer bearish period is being shown by the price action. The recent move forming the higher low is looking laboured. It doesn't have the big "strides" of a strong march especially if you compare this to the up movement from the yearly low. There, the up bars are large and look confident. ➤ We can't get too far ahead of ourselves though and dive into short positions just because things look bearish. I need confirmation. We will get this very soon by today or tomorrow with inflation data. ➤ The Bullish view is that prices need a bit of time to digest the large move off the yearly low. Hence a pause before exploding higher. ➤ I've taken profit on the remainder long positions leaving the one small short in the Russell 2000. The portfolio sits at -8% short exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Looking for Bearish confirmation

SPX can be in a much bigger H&S patternIf this H&S plays out/triggers we will see the price in 3k zone For now there is a support box for the move lower. Expect unexpected, as the price was tested so many times on the downside, it can break next time it does test it. Also if this is a start of the wave 3 down, it will be fast and with min retracements, so be careful when trying catching the knife Sar dots on daily are printing from the top 3rd day in a raw, 4h just joined the party VIX and UVXY got very green already Im swing short and my timing for the low is 21-22nd of Nov Should move down into 10-11th low, then up into the 15-16th and final push to 21-22nd low

"The" Daily Market Update (Centralized)As I am permitted, this core idea will have a daily video update every day besides Saturday. These updates will ALL be videos in my usual format and each will be 'IDEAS' themselves: As opposed to a screenshot with words. This is key, because any Intra-Day update that I make in regards to that idea (same day update) will have the update within that idea. So clicking on that daily update may have more updates past the initial one. The purpose of this is to further consolidate and reduce clutter that may build up over time and by doing so I hope that you can get an understanding of my thought process by quickly being able to refer to previous days, as well as having any comments/questions answered in one centralized location. I believe I started (specifically) doing the regular daily updates from September 7th, so it only goes back that far as of now. I have done some here and there, but want to keep this idea as clean as possible for everyone. Related Ideas linked below are some of my more important ideas that I often refer to. I stream every weekday: 15 minutes before the market opens and at least 15 minutes after the market closes. I also stream Sundays 30 minutes before the Week candle Change on BTC. Some other key information regarding TradingView Subscriptions: 1) I do not believe it is needed (for me) to be able to analyze and trade anymore, BUT it is key for going over old data to train and is HIGHLY worth considering when you want to take your trading to the next level. I may not continue with the Premium next year, but I will NEVER not have a TradingView Subscription; Just as I will never eat unhealthy food again. There are certain things you do not go back to. Being subscription-less is one of them. 2) If you feel comfortable analyzing and want to try new things, I HIGHLY recommend taking a look at the subscriptions levels and features, because on which you choose you can get access to many amazing features such as: a) Volume Profiles (Horizontal Volume) b) 20,000 bars worth of data c) Intra-Day Replay (Very useful for accurate back-testing and training) d) Multiple charts at once (Easier for me to compare movement to find correlations) e) The ability to make video ideas. In the spirit of being fair, I must mention one small drawback in regards to one feature of the premium plan. This is only in regards to anyone that streams regularly on TradingView and 9.9 times out of 10 will not apply to the average user. I explain an incredibly easy work around at the bottom, so make sure to check that out. The "Premium Plan" allows your streams to be "saved indefinitely". This is the response I got and why I believe the streams are saved, but not available after you stream 50 more times (overwritten or hidden). Though until they are made available, if ever, they might as well not exist. "I have double-checked this case with our tech team and they assigned a task to add the possibility to view the records of the past streams in the Profile. Your ticket is tagged to the corresponding task so you will be notified in case of an update." So it appears from the language used that the streams are saved, but are unavailable after 50 streams. I stream every day, so this is important to me. Maybe it will be important to you as well. Work Around: You can save your own recording to your pc when you stream and/or also multi-stream through Trading View to YouTube and Twitch. YouTube will turn your streams into Videos so that solves the issue of that; More or less. TradingView is my platform of choice, so I'd prefer all of the streams to be accessible on this platform and, through that, encourage more people to access this platform for data.

Fence Sitting, 8th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ S&P500 was able to climb above the resistance/support level at the end of the days trade. This has set a higher low above the yearly low on 13th Oct. We now have the first set of higher highs and higher lows => an uptrend in the classical technical definition. 📈 ➤ While the Bulls may be rejoicing on such an occasion, we must note that within the larger context, the price is still stuck in the choppy range bound condition. A move above 390 in the SPY would break those shackles. ➤ Looking across at other markets, NASDAQ still looks very weak. The Russell 2000 still have not triggered an exit for my short position despite recent bullishness. DAX hit resistance and was unable to stay above it for now. STOXX50 did overcome resistance. VIX is dangling in the reversal zone. ➤ With the above set of conditions, I'm still leaning Bullishly but have cut NASDAQ and DAX longs. The portfolio sits at +32% long exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: CPI data on Wednesday could have a huge influence on the near term Bullish progression. I'm inclined to go sit on the fence.

No Man's Land.....again.Well, what a wild Friday. The market traded in a 3% range trying to digest the unemployment reports. Lots of mixed signals right now. So it looks like we're back in No Man's Land. Step back and still look at the bigger picture, we are still in a downtrend channel. We had three down days last week with a doji on Thursday and a bounce on Friday. Characteristics of a bull pull back right? Well than, what does the Nasdaq chart tell you? Cause that thing looks way more bearish. CPI report is going to say a lot and there's a good chance that inflation could come in higher than expected. By the end of this week, we should know where this market is going to go. It feels like I say that every week! -"By the end of this week, we should know where this market is going to go."-!!!! It's definitely been confusing the last few weeks. I mean look at the VIX. This thing said "what's up!?" to 24 on Friday. My 40,50 VIX number I've had in my mind the last couple weeks is still patiently waiting. The elements of "hope" are lingering in these markets. Here's what could happen this week: We might hang out here in this 3800 area today and tomorrow. But we could also go test the 3850ish area. I'd pay attention to the price action in that area. It would test the upper downward trend line from the August 6th high. Plan for today: Really just going to sit on my hands today and watch the market. Be patient, stay disciplined and trade the markets in front of you. Happy Trading!

Higher Low? 7th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Welcome to another week of snakes and ladders. Before we look at the technicals, I urge you to read my thought piece about The Paradigm Shift if you haven't done so. IMHO, this will alter the behaviour of markets going forward. A much more active approach rather than a passive buy and hold approach is required. ➤ Let's now look at the charts. Once more the price in the S&P500 is back in the chop with resistance and support levels acting has hurdles. For the Bullish case, we could possibly pencil in the higher low I have been writing about. Price retraced 50% of the up move from the yearly low. This is a common place where prices tend to rebound higher. Price needs to overcome 379 in the short-term to make certain of this. ➤ The biggest conundrum right now is the weakness in tech or NASDAQ. This is very rare during a bullish phase. In fact, with a cursory glance all the way back to year 2000, I cannot see such a huge discrepancy between the performance of NASDAQ as compared to the DJIA, a portfolio of blue chip stocks. In every instance, the NASDAQ has matched or bettered on a Bullish move whether in year 2000 or 2008. I'm interested to investigate this further as to the cause. Is it high inflation and fast rising interest rates the culprit? I welcome your insights! ➤ VIX has entered an interesting area where Bears have come to the fore. Despite that, I cut my small short in NASDAQ and reversed to buy. A small short position in Russell 2000 remains. I'm long other indices. Portfolio sits at +60% long exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Chop means fingers closely placed near the exit button.

Key to this Market: Bond Yields & USDSo we gapped down yesterday if you didn't notice. I guess the market didn't like what Powell had to say. But overall, yesterday had a even amount of buyers and sellers. What we're waiting for is the Octobers payroll number that's due to come out an hour before market open. Now, expected is 205k. If this number comes in higher than 205k, the market really isn't going to like that and we'll head lower. If it comes in lower, then.... that could give the market a reason to rally higher. But does it make sense to go higher today after yesterday and Wednesday's action? I think the markets are most likely heading lower. The key to this market is Bond yields and the US Dollar. If they go up, market is going to sell off. They come down, market rallies. It's what's been driving this market. I'm more concerned about the Nasdaq. Yesterday, big cap tech was just getting a beating. And if the selling continues with these big dogs, we will go lower. The markets are going to want to test those lows again and fast. This is where I'd want to see 40,50,60 on the VIX if the selling accelerates. Futures are currently trading at 3758 at the time of writing. So as of now, it looks like we're gaping up. However, the payroll numbers come out an hour before and if the markets don't like the number, we could turn around in futures right before open and head lower. We'll see what happens. Plan for the Day: There's a small chance of a rally that could happen today. If we do, I'll just sit on my hands and watch the market. I'm still holding some shorts with plenty of time. I just need to know if I should add to my shorts. If we gap lower, then I'll add to my short positions and follow my levels down. Keep in mind that markets usually don't bottom on Fridays. Be patient, stay disciplined and trade the market in front of you. Happy Trading!

VVIX vs VIX - What can we tell from itBelieve it or not - The Stocks volatility index (VIX) has it's own Volatility index (VVIX) - and if we compare the two, it looks like VVIX has touched onceagain bottom trendline - how did that reflect on VIX? VIX bottoming was always delayed for 9 to 100+ days after VVIX bottomed. What to expect ? That in an average range of 40+ days VIX should bottom and start going up - And according to my overall analysis - we are just before a big fall - therefore this is the last moments for stocks. In other words - Bullish until EOY.

Now the Real Battle Begins, 4th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Price has reached the next level of support after sharp falls. Now we will see the real battle between the Bulls and the Bears. ➤ The Bullish case is quite simple. Price needs to be supported here to form a higher low. The classic definition of a bull trend is the formation of a set of higher highs and higher lows. ➤ The Bears have it much easier. It can push prices down to a new low straight away or allow the price to set a higher low but break that new uptrend soon after. Arguably, the ball is in the Bear's court. Their job seems to be a lot easier with the backdrop of fragile world economies. ➤ My trading signals show the possibility of a short-term bullish move. This may set that higher low. Portfolio sits at +51% long exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: We may experience choppy conditions here so a full commitment long or short may not be ideal.

Downtrend Channel after the FEDCould it be that markets have been impatient? I think so. After watching yesterday's price action, I think the market gets the message now. Or do they? I need to see capitulation before I see a rally. But we're getting close. I've been thinking that the VIX needs to get to 40 or 50, and THAT would be my capitulation. So if that happened...what...we would get to 3000? 2900? I mean, it could happen in the coming weeks. Or maybe we just follow the downward trend line slowly for the rest of the year and no Santa Clause Rally? Remember the scene in the movie "The Perfect Storm" with George Clooney, where the sun starts poking in through the clouds of the hurricane, giving the fisherman a sign of hope? And then the dark storm clouds covered the sun, destroying the hopes briefly had. That's what happened yesterday. Plan for the day: I'll watch the market throughout the day to determine if I should continue to add to my short positions. The market may need a couple more days to digest yesterday. I really don't think anyone is going to want to hold anything over the weekend so if the selling continues today and tomorrow, that would not be good for the week to come. If we continue to go higher, 3970ish, 4010ish will be the area for me to watch closely. Either way, stay disciplined, be patient, trade the market in front of you. Happy Trading!

VIX - what what what ?!What Do I see here ?! The Double Top Neck didn't get retested (red circle) Ladies and gentlemen.... this means only one thing - if a retest hasn't appeared yet, it is more than likely to reverse the other way in the near future - and that is no surprise to me. So far VIX has been following my lines - and I expect nothing else for the next months. We are now at support, ofcourse consolidation may happen but overall this should be the local bottom and we should start going up - and from here - in theory - sky is the limit. Anything can happen any time. And sadly it won't happen when expected so just keep monitoring. Yesterday's FOMC was really bearish and gave no hope for bulls. Now stocks and risk-on assets have a pretty open highway to the downside.
