VixComing up against that 50 sma AGAIN.. can't seem to break over it and every time it rejects the market takes a leg up ..
..also you can see trendline support is now Resistance
.1 hour CCI is telling me we pullback here so unless this is a black swan I'd be very careful opening up any shorts today
1 hour RSI also getting extended
For that reason I think this will pullback here
Long VIX Mar $20 CallsToday was the first day in a while where bad news was bad for the market. After bouncing down off downward sloping trend resistance stocks moved lower on the day. Volatility has been relatively low and I'm looking to take advantage of that buy going long the Mar $20 calls. This should provide a good hedge against further market downside.
Will history repeat again?Look at the VIX chart here; we are again in the VIX 18th zone. In 2022 it was an excellent indicator to spot the bottom; it works during the bear markets only!
So if we are still in a bear market, it should bounce from the 18 level hard and Indexes to fall. If we are entering a bull market, this setup can fail right here.
I doubt it will fail until we see Q1 lows in markets. I might be wrong, and this setup can fail in a grand style.
The VIX bottoms have an excellent correlation with SPX highs (at the bottom orange colour); look for the yellow marked pointers for the 2022 patterns from VIX 18 level. I think we will repeat the same pattern again.
Bull Trap Ahead!! Max pain incoming...In trading, a bull trap is a situation where a trader (beginner) buys an asset believing its price will continue to rise, only to see it fall sharply soon after. If you inspect the SPX chart by yourself, you'll see:
1- lack of increasing volume
2- absence of momentum
3- lack of definite/sufficient trend break
4- retesting of resistance level (Major downward trendline)
5- sus bullish candlesticks
6- last but not the least, the VIX is at the zone where the market always reverse to the downside. This is just a prime short entry in my opinion.
Overall, the macro market conditions still didn't improve that much. Ofc there is a chance it breaks up, however, the odds of this being a bull trap is wayyy more likely. Don't FOMO into anything and have a bi-directional outlook on the chart; inverting the chart might help. Protect your capital and lessen your position sizes until further confirmation. Take care
VIX - it broke to the downside!VIX has broken this long-time curve line - This is very bullish for stocks right now - I expect a retest - but it is likely for VIX to spike down in a very short of time and bounce as fast up.
The levels to watch are marked on the chart - observe SPX breakout aswell as it is ona resistance level for now.
VIX: VOLATILITY INCOMING??? / CHART UPDATE / SUPPLY & DEMANDDESCRIPTION: In the chart above I have provided an UPDATED MACRO chart for the VIX with more reliable SUPPLY & DEMAND POCKET PLACEMENT & UPDATED TRAJECTORY.
POINTS:
1. DEVIATION of 7 POINTS in PRICE ACTION places SUPPLY & DEMAND POCKETS where most STABLE CONSOLIDATION OCCURS.
2. Current trend shows a DESCENDING CHANNEL with VIX NEARLY DOWN 50%
3. MACD'S LOWEST POINTS decides PERIODS where VOLATILITY comes to an END.
4. UPCOMING PREDICTION OF POSSIBLE NEW LOW IS FORMULATED FROM AN AVERAGE OF PERIODS MARKED BETWEEN LOWEST POINTS OF MACD THEREFORE: 91 Days + 135 Days + 109 Days = ROUGHLY 112 Days.
5. RSI signals increased VOLATILITY AFTER BREAK of 40 on RSI.
*IMPORTANT: SUPPORT at 19 has OFFICIALLY BEEN BROKEN. LOSS of 19 CAN BE A STRONG INDICATOR FOR OVERALL MARKET RALLY IN THE POSITIVE.
SCENARIO ONLY ONE: IF YOU ARE A BEAR YOU WANT TO SEE A REGAIN OF 19 SUPPORT AND FURTHER PUSH DOWNWARD FOR BULLS.
TVC:VIX
Shopping stocks for my Old Lady- Dogs of the dow pre recession? When in doubt, choose positive carry.
Dividend paying companies that are lagging. Good and bad.
Good because they are priced with less optimism.
Bad because the price my correctly reelect to opportunity going going forward.
Either way, I like looking at dogs of the dow and dogs of the sp500 to do research.
Ive found many gems that way, even if I choose not to use the strategy.
We dont control outcomes. We only control our habits and decisions. The exercise effort is the gold.
Dividends pay me while I wait. Selling premium pays me while I wait. Earning interest pays me while I wait.
Ideas can take longer than you think to work. May as well get some cashflow and reduce your cost basis over time.
P.S. Dont tell my girlfriend I made a video mentioning her. kthankxbye

VIX about to BLOW TO THE UPSIDE!!? 14/1/23Hello traders, hope you grabbed the 600 pips on NAS!!
What a GIFT you all received and yes I called it out see previous posts.
Time to start considering short term SHORT the NAS because now everybody will go nuts longing .. it's all priced in now you see.
Remember too many longs it drops, too many shorts it rises?
VIX tell us it is about to REBOUND this is the SIGN NAS Drop incoming (90% inversely correlated). CAPITALCOM:VIX
The levels I have identified are gaps in the order flow looking at 1hr and 30 min chart, any market at some point returns to FILL.. it leaves us a SIGN.
How much it drops depends on how much greed is there I will be watching the actual contracts exchanged in the order flow to assess.
PS> its the weekend BTC is massively manipulated and has gapped massively up at the time of this post = it will DROP on Monday 16/2/23 that aligns with what the VIX will have to do.
Hope this helps.
All the best!
Possible Market Top in S&PThe market has in the last few years observed the VIX below 20 and above 35 close to 40 and given the market a defined range, its again time for those that follow the Vix as a barometer to decide whether the current rally in the S&P holds here or hereabouts and continues within the range, or its time for the bulls to take control and push the market higher.
the next week will determine this point but remains hard to fight the Fed in my opinion so anticipate the market finding a top between 4000/4100 and have another look at 3940 and possibly 3800.
good luck and happy hunting
Avoiding Risk by tracking VIX, the bull bus might be too crowdedFuture prices are unknowable and unpredictable. But measuring current conditions and valuations are informative. Tracking vix volatility and using it to make better decisions in my experience has been helpful.
Warning: Avoid buying options are generally costly. Options are a form of borrowing money to use leverage provided by an option seller.
