DIA trade ideas

DIA a market melting..... up?!This is a great example of a market that is melting.... up. Every day for the past week and a half we have seen a market that opens speculatively higher and closes lower than the open. If you are looking at markets in general that are healthy you will see that most green candles support an upwards trend while most red candles support a downward trend. This is very different and cause for concern that there is a large inflationary bubble in the market right now waiting for a moment of sell off. To be completely honest we are short DIA with contracts expiring June 18th and 25th from the "Out of the Market" phrase large red candle on the chart. This open higher and close lower continually has to stop one way or another.

030. PIGGISH PLAY - Sell The News This WeekThis seems like a pretty blanket statement, but I believe that it will succeed regardless of the type of news being reported or whether the underlying asset in question is directly the subject. What I mean is that if you were to sell all earnings reports prior to the announcement, it will be a net winning strategy. If you sell the major indices into the FOMC meeting, broadly speaking, it will be a net winning strategy. And most of all, if you sell a handful of stocks into the GDP estimate, it will be a net winning strategy. To refine the blanket down to a single thread, I would say that selling a major index ETF into GDP will offer the greatest risk/reward amongst the vast array of news that is due to report this week. The reason is simple, but not terribly obvious to the new investor: the market is damned to fall either way. Say GDP crushes estimates (cannot imagine this happening unless the numbers include the FED's asset purchases), then the first thing to react higher will be interest rates. If GDP merely beats estimates, you will see interest rates jump aggressively and immediately. Nobody is going to believe Powell's insistence on sustained easy money this time around if the growth numbers are there. Ok, but what if GDP misses to the downside? Well, I find this hard to believe because its only a rough estimate and data seems to only come in favorably these days. But under this unlikely scenario, the obvious reaction is to sell your equity because the economy is nowhere near the point of recovery. Thus, stock valuations are not aligned with "reality", and ought to price discover accordingly. Is Powell's outcry for sustained easy money more believable in this case? Yes it is, but who cares? Easy money is old news and has been essentially priced in perpetuity already. My point is that it is very likely that the broader market moves considerably lower in reaction to economic data, earnings reports, and most notably, the all-important GDP estimate. Thus, SELL the news this time around. Better yet, buy DIA PUTS as per the Pig-Specs below: Pig-Specs: Main Short: Buy (LONG) DIA (Dow ETF) PUTS - Strike 332, Expiration 05/07/2021 Offset: Buy (LONG) IWM (Small-Cap ETF) CALLS - Size - 1/3rd Size of Main Short, Strike 230, Expiration - 05/07/2021 If the market continues, I think the Small-Caps will benefit most poignantly, which is why I'm using IWM as an offset for this trade. -Gross Domesticated Pig AMEX:DIA AMEX:IWM AMEX:SPY NASDAQ:QQQ FRED:GDP

CPI will exceed 0.3% today look for a very cautious marketThe US is forecasting a 0.3% monthly CPI today, we think it will be closer to 1% for the month, given the cost of goods has dramatically increased in the US and just now being priced into the market. Look for a return in the near term to the 50MA (332) and also the 1.27 fib at 326. A cooling the market needs to happen as companies continue to announce record profits based on a larger pool of money in the system. Note: we hold shorts from 348-9 in this asset.

Low Volume Push On DIA, Will We Roll Over Or Head HigherSame as I put for SPY , DIA is looking a little sketchy right now. Same trend is in play as back in February when it was approaching new record levels. Low volume push higher before rolling over. Plus this week there's a fair amount of economic catalysts to factor in, on top of the first round of Q1 earnings. This week there are plenty of economic events to take into consideration. One of the foremost things to take into consideration will be the kick-off of Q1 earnings results. The market could gain a glimpse of any progress made as vaccine distribution continues. Companies like Pepsi (NASDAQ: PEP ), Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY ), and Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL ) could shed some light on the temperature of the economy. This week will also bring consumer price inflation figures into focus. Tuesday, the Commerce Department delivers these at 8:30 AM ET. Inflationary fears remain a hot topic of conversation right now, even as the S&P and Dow reach new highs. This will also weave in with the numerous Federal Reserve speeches this week as discussions continue about interest rates. Thursday will also bring some attention to U.S. retail figures. The consensus forecast? Retail sales are expecting a jump of 5.5%. That would represent an increase from February’s decline of 3%, the largest dip since last April. Whether or not these events spark momentum in the stalled rally for small-cap stocks is to be seen. Looking at benchmark ETFs like the Russell 2000 Small-Cap ETF (NYSE: IWM ), it hasn’t mirrored the same trends as the broader markets. However, it has bounced back a bit from its late March lows.
