The ES is inside ita Intra-Day downtrend. ___________________________________ Countertrends will move price to the VIX squeeze providing a Lower Low for the Indies. 8 AM Bond Open will provide some clues. Vix Support is 19.70 4645.25 and 4638.75 remains the Micro Support for the ES. 4691.74 remains overhead MIcro Resistance when correlating the VVF. The range for NQ Expands from 15410 to 157544.

VXX - Arb Low into New ATL'sNot ready for Prime Time, but then with Lower Objectives below and Daily Lows day after day with lower Yearly Lows... It is beginning to look as if the VFX could trade into the 15s at this rate - currently 19.05. Volatility continues to be beaten with the Ugly Stick. ___________________________________________________________ There has not been a Retacement exceeding the .382 in 10 days with 1 and only 1 exception. A new streak for the VX complex. The Fed's mercurial puncture wounds continue to press and with CASH @ 17.15 and 15's in sight, one wonders how off base this will trade given the enormous Risk profile Globally.

VX - M1/V1 : M2/V2 DailyThe VIX Guy, 50 Cents isn't present. Implied VX is SKY HIGH. __________________________________ The Illusion continues to Live. A great many are going to pay the Price for being dead-ass wrong. __________________________________ I'm going to be as Subjective as the mood suits today. QE Breeds Instability Conditions under QE - the substantive change may actually be relatively minor, but this is irrelevant to speculators and Degenerate Gamblers at the Flamingo Sports Book. The reason, simple: Speculators with assets in the Bag with longer maturities will take larger capital losses with relatively small changes in interest rates under prevailing Confidence. Projecting my inner monologue is something I attempt to avoid on balance - Shake Rattle and Roll on FOMC minutes is how I'm setting up for a Deline. ______________________________________ Something very serious is about to happen, can't shake it. We will be SELLERs, win lose or draw. Scalps the Micro Ranges with a SKEW at extremes. There you have it... Alex and I are Salmon Fishing. Have a great rest of the Weekend. Happy Hunting - Hunter Killer

VXF - Daily into 2022Volatility remains compressed with a slow and steady move lower on declining volumes. Protection is being bid at levels out the VX Curve at levels for February and March Expiries. It appears the Operators are beginning to Position ahead of the FOMC Meeting - January 25-26 (Tuesday-Wednesday). _________________________________________________________ Price Objectives for JAN VX (VXF) - 19.85 / 19.30 and the largest 2021 Daily extensions @ 15.20 & 12.30 for a Full extension. In the Chart above observe the prior two Highs with successive lower lows as VX Expanded into the end of 2021. Clear A / B / C patterns with the current move lower building "C". TIme indicates this move lower in VX Complex may continue into the first week in January. __________________________________________________________ The VX Curve remains in Contango (M1 - M4) Term Structure JAN - 20.80 @ 9.86% FEB - 22.85 @ 5.78% MAR - 24.17 @ 4.14% APR - 25.17 @ 1.71% ___________________________________________________________ October / November / December Roll to Settle arrived with Lows. The break of the 2021 50% implies there are Higher Highs ahead, from where is Time-Dependent - we can see the 3 Drives to a Low present prior to large reversals. By TIME - the same pattern suggests a Low for VX in early January. For Price - a Higher low by approximately 100 BPS. Unfortunately - there is a Large Daily Gap @ 17.35 for VFX for the Continuous Contract to Fill. __________________________________________________________ We remain patient for the Lower FIll and will wait for entry.

VXF - M1/V1 VIXVX Complex has a bit more work to do to the Lower end of the Range. Year-End it is quite easy for the ALGOs to compress the Range into a Full Retracement after continued failures to move and close above the .618 @ 22.90. There remains a concerted effort to continue the compression leading the ES YM RTY to a Lift. Of concern for January, China is amassing Commodities in amounts unseen before and moving quickly to become as Food Independent and free of all imports Net of Feed Stocks. Soybeans were replaced with Corn for the Season, which is somewhat curious, as Feeder Inputs appears to be a better decision for Livestock. The CCP has been on a tear to reduce all Foreign Dependence, in excess of 84% of all Food Stuffs have been secured internally. ______________________________________________________________ It appears China is hoarding consumables and Food Stuffs. Commods should be watched closely into 2022 as actions taken by China do not occur in a vacuum. _______________________________________________________________ VX Compression was noted last week in a commentary and Chart which showed the Lower Price Objective and Compression. The Divergence within is of concern as when compression ends - This is when we see the VIX move higher, significantly higher.

VVIX: Telltale Sign / Large Dunk begins againOnce this completes, rising Bond VX and Elevated Vol of Vol... A Very Bad Sign as Santa presses his Luck. The Operators have the ALGOs tee'd up to reverse this absurd non-sense once we see VX Vol crushed to Support. Should be a stunning reversal. ______________________________________________________ Depression Trade needs to be priced in... Then another Whacko response, then new highs... Then 50% decline in 2022. Fiddling with explosives... Our Central Prankers.

VIX - Daily: VXZ / VXF / VIX Spot-CashThe NQ will have the wider swings into Year-End as the Range has expanded from 150616 to 16302. The VIX may range into Year-End permitting the ES to build out the Symmetry. The NYSE Remains collared at the Lower end of the Range. VX has been compressing into Year-End. Wednesday will confirm as 96% of m1 is loaded on the CM-30 VXX. ____________________________________________ Implied Targets for VXX 35.16 to 45.36 on reversal. This implies a large and very extended decline. Donside Momentum is building, how long can they keep this collared... we' will see. I maintain we will test the Dialy 377 SMAs for the ES NQ YM RTY. It will be a 5/5 decline or should be... the Algos have been very good at breaking Candles, FIBs, and Symmetry - Far too many False moves. There are a very Large Number of Sellers overhead for the Equity Complex. VX should be relieved of the foot on its throat into the new year.

VXF - 1 HourOver 23.60 and the VIX remains in a Bid and a Long. It has become far less technical than the Indexes. Roll to settle is creating an Arbitrage which is suppressing the VXZ VXF VXX. VX Complex collared by the Operators. VXF continues to struggle at Cloud Momentum. ______________________________________________ 4X Expiry and enormous Ranges on each Index. Price is moving into the Lower end of the October Range. DX Weakness may provide the sport for the Equity Complex to produce a Counter-Trend off their Lows. _________________________________________________ We closed : NQ @ 735 ES @ 635 CASH @ 100%

VXF - The Blow Monkey2:30 to 3:00 PM EST today will provide indications for Globex this evening. Should they follow the usual suit, the Indexes will begin to grind higher into the Close. All of the leaders, with the exception of FB - were sold. Continued Distribution. __________________________________________________________________ With VXZ and SPOT/CASH VIX near Par and 100% of VXX concentrated in VXF, the horror show begins Wednesday / Thursday - that is 100% certain. Who gets the Hall of Mirrors treatment... Stay Tuned - as the Lower High, until it is confirmed suggests a lower low well below the 4260 for the ES. A higher high and a friendly Pelican with a mouth full of fish means this complete mess could trade up into Mid January, prior to letting go into MARCH. ___________________________________________________________________ VXX - FAILURE IS 21.39 and then confirmed by 21.28 then 20.36. Sound unrealistic? Yeah, I feel ya. VXF 21.10 Price Objective on Pullback... VXF is above within the Chart Frame - Cloud Momentum and Trend have been the RANGE. Expect more complete insanity... expect nothing less. We remain 100% CASH until 230 - 3 PM EST. Should APPL reverse and retest the Highs, the Vomit Comet is my ride. __________________________________________________________________ ALL OR NOTHING for the Operators. Sure would like this to be easier.... it's not. Prefer to enjoy this, I'm not.

VXX - Abandoned Ship2.14 P/C at present which should peak near 2.24. Many Traders believe the FED will Punt. We do not. The VIX itself, being left for dead during a rollover. Meanwhile, CALLs are selling at 354% to 427% prem to PUTs. ____________________________________________ INdices are rallying, as they do ahead of the FED. Money Flows are positive into Equities, into Protection we are back to extremely negative. Captial continues to Slosh around while Executives at the 7 continue to Sell Shares - MSFT is a solid example where One ETM sold 50% of their shares. _____________________________________________ The Weekly Charts remain our point of reference for rejection, were it to expand the Channel, then it is an entirely different conversation. An over-throw is possible. ______________________________________________ As Divergences continue to build on the Larger TFs we will Observe the Weekly UTL. _____________________________________________ What is fragile does not prefer disorder or random. It seeks stability and predictability. The fragile is damaged by infrequent events. In particular, when they become increasingly frequent. INcreasing Amplitudes within increasing Frequency, are a warning. Events Unknown, unseen, unaccounted...

VXF - Roll M1/V1 VXZ into next WednesdayThere are complications into next week. In order to avoid the Dramas associated with these opposing forces - permit me to infer the extremes have never quite been this degree of a Cluster F_ck. Fail on Drama, apologies _____________________________________________________________________ An "offsides trade" is again forming as I see 4X Negative Divergences begin to Form once again on Larger Daily and Weekly Timeframes. Delta is being hedged - simply not in a way most are paying attention to... typical and opportunity. ______________________________________________________________________ I am seeing 2 very distinct patterns within the Delta Squaring. Both create immense Risk of what should be referred to as the Cascade Trade. The over/under will depend on how aggressive the Operators become today, should they be unable to unwilling to support Price today, it is a very large Negative Omen. There exists a Protection Trade well below and not above. ________________________________________________________________________ \We will begin to see which way this breaks shortly - Roll/Settle remains ahead. Within the Pivot, whichever way it breaks ST will reinforce the Trend.
