Not going to trade this! Just posting it to look back at later. I noticed that the spikes in volatility appear to happen with the same amount of time between spikes. After the spikes, the decent appears to have the same slope (which makes sense given the decay in this product). Using Fib retracements, the spikes reach and turn approximately around the 0.382...
I was trying to figure out this sideways move we have made over the last month. I think this could be a Triangle correction pattern. This would fit with the larger wave count and would complete Wave 2 up. That would mean Wave 3 down could be starting next week. I am waiting until we break below the purple line as confirmation before adding to my short (RWM) position.
It looks like we broke the uptrend and broke the wedge pattern today. Key support seems to be around 136.30 with a new low at 133.25. Breaking below though those levels would confirm a new downtrend.
