VIX - Settlement Range for Continuous ContractSpot Vix - 22.05
VXZ - 21.45
VXF - 23.70
_________________________________________________________________
Tomorrow the New Continuous Contact for the VIX will begin trading.
To project Price we need to consider the VXZ / VXF Spread (Roll Yield) and
use Draws for both months to determine the Point of Convergence for Price
based upon Draws for both Contracts.
The VXF Chart above provides the Price Objectives and lower Gap FIlls.
The VIX has been trending down for some time now and may continue the
trend into year-end.
Clearly, this gives the ES YM RTY room to move higher.
__________________________________________________________________
We indicated yesterday the RT Potential and Price Objectives above into the
Gap Fills as the Lower POs were front-run by a significant Margin.
The NQ kept the 615 pivot gyrating until it moved tp and through it during the
3 PM EST to 4 PM EST Hourly Bar.
In the final Hour, the NQ would trade below the 615 Pivot for the last time.
ES, exactly the same pattern.
YM, a bit different, but close.
___________________________________________________________________
Into Wednesday's during Settlement, we will see the direction for the rest
of the year's - Low Volume Price action in all probability.
We traded the Lows of the Range and the A/D was sitting on Lows, it can stabilize
or Rise.
It remains a very Negative indication, as do all longer TF Charts.
____________________________________________________________________
RT Anticipated, RT in Trade - Gap Fill.
VFX has some catching up to do on the downside.
It will provide a Lift to the Indices.
Momentum Cloud to Trending Cloud Supports is the Price Objectives & Gap FIlls
remain lower.
VXZ
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%
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.
VIX - DAILY @ ST 2/2By the numbers, the VIX has repeatedly moved to Extension Price Objectives.
In addition, each has been exceeded signaling a move higher.
Pullbacks are limited to Globex.
High are made during RTH.
__________________________________________________________________
Important SMAs Crosses... they ere a sign as well.
VIX - Daily / LTF MM's 1/2As Breath began to indicate an overall collapse in August, narrowing
of each successive move high in the NQ & ES were driven by the heavy
weights within each Index.
The "7" held their ground after Q3 reporting led to some clawback.
AMZN was the first to decline, signaling trouble ahead.
VXI - VXZAPEX Key - Protection remains Bid out to January 2022.
It can Pullback today or tomorrow.
It will depend on whether the Indies begin to converge
on Lower POs below, by example, the NQ can drop 300+
Points today...
No rush, patience wins here. Entries will be provided.
_______________________________________________
Sobering up underway - Rehab T4ades are crushing the Memes.
Our dear Ape friends... AMC sub 30, was early on it breaking down
but not in doubt.
The critical issue is when Oil slows its decline as Food Producers
have already put planned prices of 20 to 22.5% in Q1 Food Prices.
When this hits... they had best have Trillions to dole out... Or Political
unrest is all but assured.
VIX - DAILY + FED @ 12/12The directors of all twelve Federal Reserve Banks favored maintaining
the current primary credit rate at the existing level (0.25 percent).
In light of the uncertainties associated with the economic outlook,
the directors judged that it would be appropriate for the FOMC to
maintain the current stance of policy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pelicans confirm, Policy Accident ahead
VIX Daily - 2021 Lows to HighsWhat is encouraging after Sunday GLOBEX:
The VIX exceeded the 50% of 2021 and although
it did not make a new high against the Prior Spike High
On a Percentage Basis it was the 4th Largest Percentage Spike
The Prior Spike did NOT.
_________________________________________________________
Use the VIX Pullback for RT Targets for ES YM RTY.
VXN for NQ.
VIX Range for Today 22.30 - 25.15 with 23.40 as the Pivot
*** 22.50 is the LIS.
_________________________________________________________
With Powell speaking late today the Operators will no doubt pull
out the stops to make the Re-Anointed Chair appear Gilded.
Long week ahead as this develops.
Large Gap Below on VIX.
VIX - (VXX) Settles tomorrow - VXZ @ 96% TomorrowUnfortunately, although the Spread has been cut in half, there will
remain the usual Gap Fill to complete as VIX INDEX (Cash/Spot)
will square Price at the end of tomorrow's Session.
VXX will equal the VIX Index.
_________________________________________________________
Wednesday's will show, surprise, another Gap on the Continuous Contract.
The Gap will be at the 4 PM EST Closing Square Price.
_________________________________________________________
UVXY Fans will not be amused once again. As the UVXY will be front-loaded
in new Decay and perhaps new Lows around 13.89, should 14.46 let go.
This is why the UVXY spends the majority of its time going South.
Unless, of course, there is an Event, then... Katy Bar the Doors.
Katy is a known Degenerate.
_________________________________________________________
Time to trade the VX Complex passed last week, a Retracement did
not develop, although by appearances - it did appear Probable.
Wall Street taketh away.
The One time a Month the Vix can go Vertical came and went.
_________________________________________________________
Where does this leave us?
Where else, defensive with a healthy dose of patience and Cash.
_________________________________________________________
On a Positive note - An accident is very close. China's got Probs,
Bigguns.
Actually the "positive" would be simply a gain in Position Capital.
Positive... yeah, naw. Not at all as, bad arrangements - Este es Muy Mal
por Hente in Todo.
_________________________________________________________
Probability favors a consolidation, but Tuesday has been ALGO Grinder
day for months on end, so we shall see how Yields behave at 8 AM EST
tomorrow, prior to placing any Degenerate Bets @ the Flamingo.
_________________________________________________________
Today behaved as if Price is Consolidating.
For What, Magic 8 Ball suggested - "Ask again later"
