VIX trade ideas

Beware of the vix. I would love to dive into more depth here, but I'd really have to start doing a consistent video series for that. I've been watching time cycles which I've charted on the vix and the SPX for a while and there's a very important region coming up near the end of January. Those unfamiliar with cycle analysis should go study it a bit as this post won't explain it much. All I'll say is there's a trough/cycle end region coming up near the end of January or very early February, on the vix. The vix charts are messy and cycles are *not* perfect in real life, which is why you have to find a date range and watch price action closely around that time. My overall picture on the S&P500 is bearish long term still, even after all of this. However, that does not mean it won't still go through big relief rallies first. In fact, the S&P500 is due for a relief rally, some individual stocks already bottomed last year, some are bottoming now, and some have not bottomed yet. That's the problem with stocks, and index funds, that various stocks, usually by market cap, bottom at different times, and some may start moving up while the big ones continue dragging indices down. In times like this, it is in my personal opinion (NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE) that it's better to pick your own basket of stocks than to go with an index fund at this time. Watch the cycles, they are broad ranges, but something is likely brewing in the vix by early February. ***This is not financial advice, and should not be taken as such what so ever. These comments are a reflection of my personal opinions and charting and should not be used in any way to make financial decisions. Do your own DD***

VIX in DIAMOND BUTTOMS!!!!!On the VIX Volatility index , I have observed a diamond pattern, which suggests that the current instability in market sentiment is likely to lead to a rise in market prices. Based on this, I decided to open a long position at the entry price of USD 21.21. I have set the Stop Loss level at USD 19.53 so that if market prices turn worse than expected, I can close the position with minimal loss. And I set the Take Profit at USD 24.26 so that if the market prices reach a certain level, I can automatically close the position at the best possible price. It is important to note that this is only my own observation and does not constitute investment advice. Everyone should make decisions in the financial markets at their own risk.

VIX Trend As we can see today the SPY bounced up from it's trendline in the morning, breaking out on a major resistance. Two scenarios can happen tomorrow #1 VIX bounces from the trendline causing the SPY to go down which would invalidate todays breakout and cause it to come back down. Considering that both the SPY and VIX have an opposite GAP it could go either way. #2 VIX breaks the trendline and may come down to fill the GAP it has around the marked area. In this case we can confirm that the SPY can move up to fill it's GAP as well. Trade safe ! I'd love to hear your input and thoughts on this.

Vix update Purple line 50sma... If we close above this, the next resistance will be trendline at 24 Starting to get overbought on the 1 hour chart and 2 hour chart... Which means unless this is a black swan event we may cool off at 24 until FED minutes... Personally I don't like being short equities, especially swinging when the vix becomes overbought on 1 hour.. On the day before the last CPI pop the vix was overbought on 1hour and the next day the indexes rallied 3%. Now we're going into the FED minutes overbought.. let's see what happens. The double bottom pattern has almost fully rounded here 2 things I'll be watching 1.Qqq 260 2. Vix 24
