Here is the same chart from last weekend as a reveiw. See how the predicted Orange oval area played out & $TSLA challenged both the current down channel (White) as well as the one from NOV (Blue lines)? We played calls on $TSLA on Tues & Wed for nice gains, and remained flat on the stock for the remainder of the week. I will work up a new analysis for next week...
A follow up from this weekend's Multi-Channel Review. $TSLA $724 sure seems logical for today...the DECISION POINT is HERE & NOW!!!
BTC is "hurtin for certain"...from today's R4 level peak down to tonight's S4 trough. Over 1200 pt swing on $BTC folks, you just have to read the chart & trade Level2Level
Our Levels were spectacular this weekend seeing multiple rejections at SUPPLY / R1 (WHITE Level) on both SAT & SUN. $BTC finally broke above R1 in the overnight session & it was "off to the races" smashing thru Buy TGT #1, then on to R2/BT#2 & our R3/BT#3 where we found buyers exhausted but no sellers interested in stepping back in. Promises to be a great...
$TSLA held the support line from the JAN channel 2 weeks ago (Yellow Dotted Lines), but failed to break over the 792 level last Thursday & dropped back into the Current & NOV Channels on Friday. This paces TSLA back into 2 bearish channels across multiple timeframes. Friday's action did fill the opening gap and is currently holding the March lows right at the...
POST FOMC MINUTES: 0DTE Credit Spreads, Long Trades, and LONG POSITIONS We must start with the TRENDLINE BREAKOUT that has been on our charts for weeks, and with the FOMC news behind us, the question for Thursday Premarket is do we reverse and drop during the Opening Range (OR) as we have seen so many times post FOMC. THURS: We got our answer pretty quick...
WED Analysis - the LOOK & FAIL followed by the BREAKOUT WED was a huge day, with the looming FOMC Minutes Release at the 1400 hour mark. We have broken the week down to provide insight into HOW & WHY we trade $SPY - both our ENTRIES & EXITS. WED- RANGE Morning between the WHITE LEVELS (SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONES) Textbook LOOK & FAIL from 10:15-11:15 and the ONLY...
Last week, we provided a SPY Channel/Trend Analysis for the upcoming week. This weekend, we will break the week down into 2 segments: 1) the move to challenge the upper channel & 2) the $SPY channel/trendline break. In doing this, we will keep the 2 basic Channels/Trendlines on the chart, and overlay them with our Intraday Levels from our algo. This provides a...
Just a follow up/review from last weekend's analysis on $SPY and a big part of our success is having a plan & knowing what to expect before it happens. Just from the 2 basic Channels (using simple trendlines), you can see SPY was GREEN all 5 days last week. Spy hit the Intermediate Trendline last Friday (5/20) and bounced off there for an expected return to...
Another week of writing successful Credit Spreads on $SPX...almost 49% NET Returns YTD
Despite numerous mentions about the CBOE SKEW Index, we are no where near the 2018/2019 lows (which are the lowest readings on file for the past decade). Understanding how SKEW Index works, it's relationship to Vol Structures, and impact towards Gamma & Vega and how/what it implies by way of Institutional Hedging is another tool for the pros. Do your DD (due...
Here is a chart of the 2yr / 5yr /10yr / & 30yr yields The BLUE LINE represents the highest yields from 2018 The WHITE LINE represents the highest yields from 20202
I know everyone is screaming about Interest Rates, but thought this would bring some renewed perspective. Here is a chart of the 10 year Bond Yield dating back to the 1980s
Here are the past 7 weeks of PVI Volatility Ranges for SPX . The Ranges are computed every weekend from a myriad of data points and ratios (Index, Volatility variations, SKEW, HV, IV, etc...) We compute the ranges on the weekend, along with our roadmap & Game Plan for the week ahead. Some of us enter their first tranche on Sunday nights or early Monday (depending...
$SPY bottomed on FOMC week and established the immediate trend's lower channel. The bounce off the lows moved SPY to the upper channel & a continuation wedge formation (stair-stepping downward). Friday's bottom wick attacked the intermediate trend that was established near the Jan lows. We have an "impingement" upcoming in the SPY Wedge Formation this...
