Russel 2000 Bear Market?It seems by all indications that we are heading into a bear market. With raising interest rates, tapering, and shrinking of balance sheets, we will see the Russel take at least a 20% tumble from the current price. The 100MA puts the Russel 2000 at around 1400, and further down on 200MA. A couple of key points: Only 40% of Russel 2000 are above 50-Day MA. Only 45% of Russel 2000 are above 50-Day MA. MACD is crossed and looks bearish. Fed slowing down its QE. I was a bit curious why the Russel 2000 took a dip in 2018-2019 with the economy doing so well then. The one thing that I could overlay to make some sense to it was the Federal Funds Rate went up to 2.42% Even mainstream investors like Jon Najarian has taken short positions in the IWM for February. The economics speak it, the Fed speaks it, the indicators speak it, and now even mainstream economists are accepting there is some market shaking coming.

Why it is a good time to buy the indexes. Do you know there is. $14 Trillion USD macro short play on the global markets. Look, this is a two day old, list of global ETFs with their respective short percentages. Who does that? a massive raider, aided by policy makers. e.g. JB's oil policies. The cat is out of the bag. Did you know the IWM was shorted to 42% that is amazing, a leather face more if you ask me, the italians call that a Faccia Tosta. An immutable mastardo, the atomic bomb, and then comes back to buy it all back. Ohh,,, I forgot, did you read, georgeos Soros-sky is one of the biggest buyers right now, he is buying Tesla, Google, Amazon and others. anyhow. here is the list of shorts. The field is perfect for a massive short squeeze.

Opening (IRA): IWM December 23rd 156 Short Put... for a 1.67 credit. Comments: Targeting the <16 strike in the expiry nearest 45 days paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. This is more about not letting my IWM position get too short delta than about putting on an "ideal" premium selling trade. I still have an IWM short delta hedge on that is marking at around -60 delta (See Post Below) and had only one IWM short put rung on at the December 16th 164 (+23 delta at the moment), so the position was leaning more net delta short than I would like. This long delta additive trade will make my IWM position "net delta flatter."

Study of Swing Trade Entries using Stochastic, RSI and MA'sPlease read notes on chart first. Yellow arrow and triangle breakout are points (time and place) at which you might buy calls for a swing trade. If your trade is based on 30m timeframe, you can still use 5m to fine tune your entry. Key is that you identify targets and stops based on your 30m chart. Study white arrow on today's 5m chart for today's swing trade entry. For example, 11/11 181 call ~1.75 near when price was ~178.70, and now is over 3.00. (Price moved well today and this could be a day trade as well.)

Closed (IRA): IWM December 16th 145 Short Put... for a .76 debit. Comments: (Late Post). Collected a total of 2.11 in credits. (See Post Below). Out today for a .76 debit. 1.35 ($135) profit. This leaves me with two rungs -- the November 18th 163 (currently 14 delta) and the November 18th 173 (currently 33 delta), for a total of 44 long delta. Both of these are hedged off with a long put vertical in IWM (See Post Below), which is currently marking at -74 delta. I'll be rolling out the short leg of the diagonal tomorrow, which will decrease the short delta slightly, after which I will look to see whether I should add back in IWM long delta to make sure that I'm not too short/directional in this position. (33 long - 74 short = -41 delta). As part of this consideration, I also need to look at my portfolio delta as a whole to see whether it's okay to keep the IWM position net delta short, since it enjoys a close correlation with SPY (.95 3-month). Since it kind of drives me slightly bonkers to leave positions skewed out (regardless of whether they can do double duty as a closely correlated broad market hedge), I'll probably end up adding some long delta back in.
