UVXY trade ideas

Two Different Paths For ^VIXweve set lower daily highs aince the last major volatility event, and trended lower weekly to averages. the uptrend is not lost for vix and uvxy threatens to break out of tightening range or wedge/triangle. ive marked out what a test and failure of the trendline would look like, and ive also bar patterned the breakout scenario. im leaning short because i think the election result will be volatile, but have a buy the news impact on broader markets. this is bearish for vix in both scenarios.

UVXY, the volatility index about to explode?Technical Analysis: In the month of Sept'24 UVXY changed about $10.58 which was a huge change from Aug'24. It continued the trend in Oct, so far the UVXY changed about $5.8 in this month. In other words UVXY is forming a triangle, or a squeeze. If the trend continues, the next month's trading range will be very narrow, about $2.x change!!! The RSI MA Cros and EMA Cross are indicating possibility of uptrend. Fundamental Analysis: Considering US Election early next month and the possibility of close win or lose of both parties, there might be increase in the volatility. Not mentioning the two ongoing active wars and the possibility of further escalation that can add to the uncertainty. Due to this reasons US Dollar Index has gone up from 101.x to 104.x which is huge. There is a possibility of UVXY breaking up from the triangle to $30 and up in the first half of the next month.

Still my favorite exposure to the s&p500the range has toghtened ever since we had the last major event in vix. the series of lower highs and higher lows in this etf indicate squeeze in the underlying index and the s&p500 beneath that. as uvxy sells puts, it follows the natural flow of puts in the broader market like TSLA or AAPL. as long as the consolidation and uptrend in weekly spx is healthy, uvxy continues to lose steam towards the election, likely the source of our nextajor vix event.

Return of Volatility IndexesIt's September 18 2024 10:51pm EST, just another Wednesday. Elections are creeping up and Chinese (HSI) markets are sparking uptrend. Somehow, American volatility indexes are evidently setting up for what appears to be a big return to the upside. Perhaps only a rare few have captured it? Who knows, but the cycles don't lie and neither do the high timeframe supercycles, which imply a reversal is overdue for the volatility indexes, including UVXY (ETF), VXX(ETN), and VIX and their corresponding denominations, just to name a few. In any event, it would be fair to say that after today's close and going forward, these volatility indexes are ready for takeoff. The catalysts are not exactly clear, though. Election alone can't spark them, and if Covid triggered the last significant run, what's next? This, only time will tell, but the 'vola' indexes are nonetheless ready for takeoff.

Volatility ETFs Are Ridiculously BadWhen market volatility spikes, I see many traders start talking about volatility instruments like UVXY, VXX, and UVIX. Yes, in the moment, these symbols may spike a bit, but over the long-term, and as clearly shown on the chart above, they appear to do only one thing – go down. So, I am writing this post to try to help any traders/investors out there interested in these instruments. First of all, to new traders, these instruments like an easy way to go long on volatility – “I don’t have to trade options? I can just buy this ETF? I’m in!” However, I am surprised these instruments are legal given how they are branded. Consider this: the UVXY ETF has gone from $300 million per share to $40 per share at the time of this writing. Yes, read that again. Had you invested $300 million into this volatility instrument at its inception a little more than 10 years ago, you would have $40 today. How are these ETFs even legal? How can they be positioned like this? Countless people must get tricked by them. In this post, I will explore popular volatility ETFs and ETNs with some basic concepts to help traders and investors looking to learn more. Seven years ago, I wrote one of my most popular posts ever directly related to this topic titled, "How To Avoid Bad ETFs and ETNs." 2. Beta Decay: This concept may sound complicated, but the following mathematical example will open your eyes. These instruments are subject to daily rebalancing, leading to a compounding effect. For example, if an ETF loses 5% one day and gains 5% the next day, it doesn’t return to its original value. Starting at $100, a 5% loss takes it to $95, and a 5% gain brings it only up to $99.75, not $100. Do this over and over, and it just keeps going down. 2. Contango: It took me a long time to understand this term, but essentially, it works like this: when the VIX futures market is in contango (where longer-term futures are priced higher than near-term futures), these ETFs suffer from the cost of rolling futures contracts. This erosion occurs as funds must continually buy higher-priced longer-term contracts while selling lower-priced near-term contracts. 3. Volatility Drag: Some VIX ETFs are labeled as “2x Volatility” or “3x Volatility,” meaning these ETFs must adjust their futures holdings daily, buying in rising markets and selling in declining ones. This results in what is known as volatility drag, which can cause losses over time. Anyways, that's it! It's crucial that we share these stats and facts to help unsuspecting traders and investors understand that these tools are not like traditional stocks. This is why I write so much about this topic and will continue to do so. Disclaimer: As always, I ONLY share for my own entertainment and education. Nothing else. The point of this post is rather simple – one of the greatest money schemes in Wall Street history is selling new investors and traders “Volatility ETFs.” Check out more from me in the links below!

Long $UVXY 6x- 20x gains ahead?Finally got the reversal I've been looking for in $UVXY. My entry was at $23 and I think we have a large move ahead of us. If we look at the chart, we have our first green flat bottomed Heikin Ashi candle. Normally with a move like today's people are exiting puts and shorting UVXY, but I think this move is just starting and vol is about to become unpinned. Over the coming 1-2 months, I think we can see 6x-20x gains through UVXY. I'm looking for price to test at a minimum the $168 level and reach a potential high of $457. I'll start taking profits in the $168-242 range and see if we can get all the way up to the top of the range. Playing this both through a large spot position and through options. Let's see what happens in the coming months.

UVXY 15min ScalpSPX will decrease in price from June 3->June 10/11. Were you aware? Now you are. What can you do? This is one option to make money while market declines short term. The investment seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-half times (1.5x) the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index for a single day. The index seeks to offer exposure to market volatility through publicly traded futures markets and is designed to measure the implied volatility of the S&P 500 over 30 days in the future.

Forecasting Market Behavior: Insights from VIX AnalysisThe past few days in the stock markets have been turbulent and characterized by a significant increase in volatility. The VIX reflects this volatility. This analysis is based on an ETF that tracks the VIX's price movement. The last H4 candle is particularly interesting: despite the increase in volatility, there was a distinctly negative CumDelta. This is typically a bearish signal, indicating a potential decrease in volatility (and thus potentially rising stock indices). To illustrate, I've marked two other points in the chart. It becomes apparent that each of these bearish CumDelta divergences was followed by a significant decline in volatility. Therefore, the target for the current signal is set at the 50% retracement of the last upward movement, coinciding with the high of the candle on April 11, 2024, which was followed by the upward gap. This is not a direct suggestion for a short trade on the VIX ETF, but rather serves as a forecast for the near future trajectory of the stock indices.

UVXY crosses over mean anchored VWAP LONGUVXY which leverages the VIX as a measure of volatility / greed/ fear has finally crossed over the mean anchored VWAP. This is a sign of bullish momentum and perhaps a signal that traders should hedge or consider their positions in terms of hard risk management. Those who traded this move up today made 10% or better in the trade. Those who bought call options expiring tomorrow made 10X and those with call options for next Friday made 5X overnight. Tomorrow is another day. Likely the market will rise from the correction and UXVY will fade a bit. No matter, its value for insurance and hedging is reinforced on days like the past day. I am maintaining a full position aside the call options closed at the afternoon bell which expire on Friday and had time decay to contend with. My first target is 7.75 then comes 8.05 and 8.45. I will take off 20% at each target and keep the others for insurance for a true market crash or black swan event to buffer losses while stops get hit.

UVXY - VIX Futures ETF- rises from a falling wedge breakout LONGUVXY on the 30- minute chart is now in an establish falling wedge breakout. Increasing volumes lend support for bullish momentum as does the fear that rate cuts may be postponed the the market's bullrun may stall and correct. This chart is left clean with only trend lines drawn in recognizing that quite a few traders only have a basic subscription on Tradingview without the luxury of multiple indicators, alerts and so on. A rise in the VIX may be a signal to start trimming long positions or hedging with short trades.

UVXY the VIXX following ETF ShortUVXY the fear and volatility ETF ran up nearly 10% on the past trading day before retracing a bit all due to the quick about-face in the market at about 1PM New York time. It moved from the lows at the opening bell and let up with after hours profit taking. The relative volatility indicator shows the volatility pump and then dump. The dual signal RSI indicator shows the low time frame in blue dropping faster than the higher time frame in black. I see this as a good setup for a short trade that could yield half of the run-up over the next two trading days or 5% by next Tuesday, August 1. The stop loss set at the top wicking at 17.25 while the target the pivot low from which price began at 15.55. I have contemplated a put option on this but have not yet reviewed the options chain. Price action down may begin slow until price crosses under the POC line of the volume profile and then accelerate as price drops below the high volume area into relative volume voids.

UVXY to $15I hear there's a ton of sellers in this and/or VIX products. I decided to dowse it to info. I get to look for $15 as the price target, and 98% up as the percent target, which happens to = $15.52 (from current price). I did have a ton of signals from God/Universe that the market would reverse, so really I just need to go with it, although I do still have higher targets. For now, and the rest of the month it seems, some correction is in order and this reading confirms that.

ChatGP3 prompt for $UVXYYou are a hedge fund manager that sells short out-of-the-money puts and purchases out-of-the-money long puts. Your aim is to generate premium. In such a scenario, then, would it be appropriate to sell more out-of-the-money puts than purchasing out-of-the-money puts closer to the underlying cash price. ? Generally speaking the short puts with the higher preVerify that is correct and provide any feedback. Which put expiration dates combined between all the sold at-the-money puts and out-of-the-money acheive the most profitable position whereas long puts expire worthless less the value collected from short put premiums? For example, AMEX:UVXY will predominately trend downwards because constant volatility is unsustainable long-term. If AMEX:UVXY is currently at 16.00 per share, then would you suggest selling at-the-money long-term puts at 16 and buying out-of-the-money 5 puts , both with the same expiration dates ? In theory, as the higher possibility that AMEX:UVXY declines
