VIX trade ideas

Moment of truthIs VIX breaking out? SPY hit very hard the support trendline, is like it wants break it down. I think we will have a bloody battle at this level, a lot of volatility. Several attempts to break the support. If it breaks it at first attempt, that's it, crash will come. I'm holding my longs and selling covered calls, I'm not selling anything, actually I'm buying stocks and selling calls. Just bought Intel and Newmont yesterday. If crash happens, it will probably last a few months, I'm ok with that. In the mean time I'm selling calls and collect dividends. I will only sell stocks that I don't like much, only a few ones.

VIX - A storm is brewingTVC:VIX may have reached a significant bottom during today's volatile trading session. As seen below, the recent rug pull shown on the 1D chart has finally concluded; almost to the exact penny. When we step back and look at the weekly timeframe, VIX is currently bouncing higher off of a major bullish divergence that was built up over the past several months. The RSI is also retesting the neutral line (50) and TVC:VIX itself has closed on a major support level. If TVC:VIX continues its move higher next week, we could see a significant drop in the S&P500 Disclaimer: Any information contained within this post does not constitute any financial, investment, or trading advice.

VIX Clears 20-21, On Capitulation WatchAfter the VIX sagged to under 13 at times in the third quarter, October has brought about the bears and higher volatility, as if on seasonal cue. The S&P 500 peaked in late July right when many mega-cap tech stocks reported second-quarter earnings results. The AI-fueled rally that gave equities legs following the SVB crisis in mid-March finally lost steam. The S&P 500 is now a stone's throw away from "correction territory" off the 4607 rebound peak a few months ago. The psychological level to watch is 4146 (-10%). As of this writing, equity futures point to an SPX near 4200 - below its rising 200-day moving average and testing the breakout point from late May. What could surprise some bulls would be a break under 4200 followed by a snapback higher. All eyes are on the VIX. Wall Street's "fear gauge" has jumped to 23 this morning. While not screaming panic, the Volatility Index is at its loftiest level since March. The Q3 high of 31 could be in play, but I also notice that a series of lower highs has been the trend since way back in January of 2022 (39). Thus, it's reasonable to assert that the high 20s on the VIX could be the peak this go around. Of course, bullish stock seasonality really takes hold following this week (though pre-election years tend to see somewhat weaker Novembers compared to all years).

Incoming VIX liquidityI'm expecting a great deal of volatility in the coming weeks with the VIX having broken a key psychological level, created a CHoCH, and continued rising, leaving behind some liquidity in the FVG-W below. LOTS of liquidity lies above at the daily and H4 levels and the VIX is likely to reach for these levels. Why is this important? Well VIX and most indices (DAX, DOW, NAS in particular) move contratrend to the VIX, and so if the VIX is trending bullish, I'd expect these to (continue to) trend bearish. With NAS, price is currently b/w the 70.5 and 61.8 monthly Fib levels, a key bearish signal, headed towards liquidity resting in the FVG-M below. The same is true for DAX, which has already pierced the FVG-M. DOW is also in a strong bearish trend, but price is already resting between the 61.8 and 50.0 monthly Fib levels. As a result of this, I am strongly bearish on indices for the upcoming week, and will be looking for reactions(institutional sponsorship) on the H1 & m15 for entries on the m5/m3/m1, but please note that actual execution will rely on time and price. Happy Trading 😋 W1 VIX: H4 VIX: M1 DAX: H4 DAX: M1 DOW: H4 DOW: M1 NAS: H4 NAS:

VIX long term WAVE C down will be UGLY once wave B is topI think all should understand that I am looking for that last short squeeze in the markets and NOT by any mean a new Bull market . My view is based on DATA of 123 yrs NOT wishful thinking . way too many of you have not lived thru a true bear market I have lived thru 5 and this will be my 6th I have studied Every bear market I will warning all a second time this is the last leg up . and if you do not want to be holding on with loses for 3 to 5 years use the last wave up to take advantage of the yields in 2 yr paper or just stay in 30 to 90 tbills the return will be one as the market is going to drop .382 of the whole move up 1974 or 2009 both will be very painful

Vix potential highBank earnings out today, Jamie Diamond interview : he said " now may be the most dangerous time in decades" Earnings have bheld up by the stimulus packages that are still being allocated into the market. But that's just a temporary fix. And quantitative tightening. Has countered fiscal spending a complete waste in my opinion. But that's what happens when there is an election where one side doesn't concede to the other. And vice versa, a matter that remains unresolved. It's like asking your wife for a divorce or husband ,either way, and they refuse a sign that divorce decree and instead go on a shopping spree. Then they decide to. Bring along with them, their friends in China and Japan, who also print money. One because China reopand has not recovered completely in Japan. Governor Corona retired finally. They don't call him the Widowmaker for nothing. The biggest impact leaf's cost strategy implemented by krota. That's akin too, Cato and Pink Panther. They should do a parod one by Prince called p**** control. They should call it Yield curve control, LOL.

🟥 NEW LOW on IWC - Market Commentary⬇️ IWC NEW LOW The microcap ETF (IWC) has made a new low. This is not good at all. On the good side we did close up on the day - so we can call this a Rally Day and wait for a Follow Through Day (FTD). ↗️ WAITING FOR FTD SPX is sitting on the 200D Moving Average and Nasdaq s on day 6 of its Rally Day (marketd as RD on the chart). We are waiting for those FTDs in order to get into the action on the long side. 😰 FEAR NEEDS TO PICK UP The VIX like I said in my previous note, to print a picture perfect bottoming action, would need to double its low of 16, meaning a shakeout with VIX jumping to 24 would be a positive sign. 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 SENTIMENT Sentiment is horribly bad - which is so negative it could be showing a market bottom. The chart below shows the % of stocks above the 50D (pane1), 200D (pane2) and the VIX (pane3). Only 32% of the stocks are above 200D which is v. bearish. Why we look at this? Because any real bull market would require participation from more than 7 mega cap stocks in order to be a) strong and b) lasting. Otherwise it is a very thin market - which is not healthy. 🚽 FLUSH POSSIBILTY I am cautious also that because the last couple of days we are seeing dislocations in relationships that are actually correlated *historically*. I am refering to interest, forex, utilities, bonds, commodities and so on. E.g. Oil broke down and the interest rates and the dollar went up. When this has happened historically there are a higher chance of a flush occuring. The probability is stacking but it would be a black swan. For the newbies a flush is a mini-crash. 📅 STAY ALERT REMEMBER We are always 4-5 days away to a new Bull Market. This is the time to keep your eye on the market. Know what the leading RS names are. Also we are about to enter earning season. Be cautious. My strategy is to never go into an earnings event unless I have enough profit to justify the implied volatility.
