VX Coming Back to Life Today's opening 15 minutes was one of the more wild ones I've seen. It's been a wild week in general. Every single morning we have been hit with war fear news right at open. Each one led to a big VX spike and near instant recovery. You can see the huge spikes every morning, starting with last Friday

VX Bull Flag VX has broken above 17 and is trying to sustain above. Looks like some bullish consolidation on the 15m, I'm expecting a break up to 18.40. That would likely lead to a new session low and more downside for ES. Opposite happens if it falls back below 17.

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #1 - VX Falling Wedge Will be watching this wedge on VX throughout the week for directional bias on SPY. VX is near the top end now trying to break. If it does break up, first target is 16.60 followed by ~17. To the downside, it has critical support around 15.25, we could see another big leg up for SPY if it breaks below

VX Coiling Before CPI VX looks primed for a move up to 16.60 after a descending channel breakout and retest. Makes me wonder if CPI is about to come in hot or have a negative reaction. We'll find out soon enough. 16.60 will be key for VX to get above and stay above for bears to have a day. I'll have bearish bias until V

VX Paths Before FOMC Looks like we'll have a pretty good setup with VX during or after FOMC. We'll probably get some volatile movements after the minutes release and then more volatility during and after Powell's speech starting 30 minutes later. VX has been getting crushed all week, back below 16 now. This will be a k

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #3 - VX Risk On?VX has had a hard rejection off of the 21 area. It failed to breakout of its bull flag and instead fell all the way back below support around 18.40. Two massive red days in a row for VX leading into the election results and FOMC. The market is seemingly going full risk on mode heading into the elect

VIX!!!HS, the VIX is about to crash. I'm accumulating SDIX (short VIX) and buying puts of UVXY at every short term rally. SP500 heading to ATH.

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #5 - VX Critical Support To wrap up the ideas for this week I have to choose VX, I don't trade it directly but it will be key to determine the direction for the rest of the week. So far it has held around 18.40, which was also last week's low. In addition to the 18.40 support here we also have trendline support. First upsid

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #4 - VX S/R Flip Big move up for VX after bouncing near 18.40. This is mostly due to some weakness in semis after leaked earnings on ASML. 19.40 will be a key area on VX moving forward. If it goes up there and fails I'd be looking for longs on ES/SPY. If it's able to break above and continue higher, I'll start looki

VX Ascending Channel VX has shown a lot of strength over the last couple of weeks which I consider to be unusual. DXY and treasury yields have also spiked recently, but the equity market remains resilient. We've been chopping for weeks and we'll likely see a big move once this range breaks. VX had a big red day today
