VIX trade ideas

🟥 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.

"Aggressive" VIX Short/ES Long SetupPossible volatility short/equities long shaping up. Still a lot of downside momentum/catching a bit of a falling knife + we'd rather see the NQ fill its gap south of 14400, but it could be time to start thinking about index longs given the levels both stocks and vol are approaching. Given that the Nasdaq still has further to fall before completing its gap fill, the ES could easily continue its decline (watch support/resistance levels ~4200). Something to keep in mind... Personally, we are waiting for confirmation entries before buying (looking for trend reversal signals on small timeframes), but more aggressive traders may find existing conditions more suitable for starter positions. Targeting is loosely based off of the red ES zones, but can also be mechanically derived and should be refined. Good luck! JHart @ LionHart Trading

VIX spikes in 2018, 2020 and 2023The last 2 major vix spike events in Jan 2018 and March 2020 have followed the exact same technical pattern on all 3 metrics - VIX, RSI of VIX and MACD of VIX. In 2022 and 2023, we are on the exact same trajectory on all 3 metrics. This indicates major vix spike in Nov 2023. The fundamentals/reasoning behind this - 1. reducing corporate earnings,recession 2. very difficult to finance new spending by corporations 3. large gaping holes in balance sheets of financial institutions because of unrealized losses on bond positions.

Vix in spike zonethe 3 month chart of Vix shows that it spikes up when it touches this level plus October is when corrections happen according to a lot of media because of Black Monday on Oct 19, 1987. We're in for two weeks of quick drops so a lot of money can be made using short term options knowing this information. I personally had 1000 puts on SQ, but a few hundred of them expired worthless on Friday. Probably will top up a few hundred cheap puts next week. Gold looks weaker than the SPY so I think gold miners will fall even harder.

VIX and S&P500 This is why stocks may rise now.Following yesterday's green stock market reaction, we compare on today's analysis VIX (Volatility Index) to the S&P500 (SPX) price action on the 1D time-frame. Our goal is to find clues to how the Volatility Index can affect the stocks. As you can see, VIX is trading within an Ascending Triangle which 2 days ago got rejected on its top (Higher Highs) trend-line. All this while its Lower Highs trend-line since September 2022 (1 year back) sits right above it. At the same time the S&P500 index found the bottom (Lower Lows trend-line) of its Channel Down (while the Higher Lows trend-line since the October 2022 market bottom sits right below) and on first impression appears to be rebounding. Being negatively correlated, the more VIX drops, i.e. market volatility calms/ decreases, the more likely it is for the stock market to rise, at least for the short-term towards the Channel Down top (similarly VIX to the Triangle's Support). In order to see it resume the long-term bullish trend, VIX most likely needs to break its Support. It is not unlikely as the market may respect the long-term Lower Highs (similarly Higher Lows for SPX) and hold it as new rejection point, but for the time being we have to keep our perspective on the short-term patterns (Ascending Triangle and Channel Down respectively) until shown otherwise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Buying Opportunities When the VIX JumpsInvesting or opening long positions when the TVC:VIX jumps can be a profitable strategy if done correctly, as it often signifies elevated market fear and potential undervaluation of assets. But first, let's figure out what TVC:VIX is! The Volatility Index, or TVC:VIX , is a real-time market index representing the market’s expectation of volatility over the next 30 days. Often referred to as the "fear gauge," a surge in the TVC:VIX usually signifies increased uncertainty, risk, and investor sentiment that the market will move sharply, either downward or upward. So, now let’s take a look at the chart! You probably remember how we opened a position at level 13, and now we have designated a profit zone, and now the price has come exactly to this zone and I have already closed the position, now that the TVC:VIX has grown, this creates a good opportunity to buy heavily oversold securities long. How to find oversold securities, you can use a screener and filter out securities with RSI < 20 or were less than 20 recently. It is important to consider the quality of securities so as not to buy paper that no longer plans to grow. There are some good securities that I've already bought: NYSE:DG , NASDAQ:DLTR , WBA. Managing Risk Investors should consider implementing risk management strategies, such as stop-loss orders and portfolio diversification, to protect against significant losses when the VIX is high. Maintaining a well-diversified portfolio and avoiding panic selling are also essential in navigating markets during increased volatility.
