$VIX - Moderate Pop Expected

As mentioned earlier, the cycle analysis is negative into the end of the week for SPX.  VIX can see a moderate pop during this period with a breakout of an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern.

SPX could decline into Friday or Monday.  

10min Chart















Downside on UVXY looks minimal with a decent move higher targeted short term.

    1. I had to reposition on this one myself, but now in decent shape after having sold above $26, and reloading yesterday/today. I'm feeling like I have a good plan in place to make nice gains next few weeks to start with.

      Delete
    2. SC, if I recall correctly, when uvxy was at $27 you wanted to sell at $28 and reload at $24. You suggested at that point to hold, I don't remember you saying you actually sold above $26. If I missed that, my apologies.

      You also predicted February 27/28th being a low and apple topping at $578. You have been accurate, but I'd say wrong just as many times. I mean no disrespect, but I'm just concerned about holding HVU at this point. What makes this weeks prediction different?

    3. Feb was not a great month as the mkt was slowly grinding up which simply means that the cycles were only picking up minor moves. However, my cycles have been clicking nicely in March. The turns have been smooth around my dates.

      I do think that I have a good plan going forward. Many different methods are adding up so that gives confidence.

      Here's where I sold:

      Dumped UVXY, will plan to pick it up again lower.

      Delete
    4. I'm actually faily pleased with my Apple call. Remember, when I proposed the $578 target, Apple was $500, so a trade would have done well there. No, it didn't pinpoint the top, and has overshot, but still decent. I do think Apple is ready to correct now also.

    5. The higher low on the VIX looks good, also TVIX has been firming lately. These are all good confirmations.

    8. SC, I am holding HVU which is way underwater and it's dropping like a rock everyday that made me very painful.
      What is your suggestion and target price for HVU.
      Will very appreciate for your reply!!
      Thanks!

    9. $7.50 is the spot to watch next few days imo. I think it'll struggle and dip from there, but in the first week of April $9.50 is what I'm looking at.

      Delete
    10. HVU is printing $4.65, what do you think is good entry point? Does this go lower tomorrow?
      Thanks SC

    11. I like it right here. Really nothing for downside imo.

    12. I'm assuming $7.50 for march 23/26 is the max target, what is your minimum?

      Thanks

      Delete
    13. I think that is a minimum.

      Delete
    14. Lol, I like the sound of that! I hope you're right! What is your maximum then? Or is that the $9.15? Do you still see $10.90?

      Delete
    15. I just like that $7.50 level. Then once it settles back, $9.15-50 is the next spot first week of April. $10.90 is probably too much.

      Delete
  4. Looking forward to your plan,SC. I am completely stymied at forecasting here. I have Friday/Monday as a turn and the following Fri/Mon as well.I'm slightly biased in thinking we hit the low first and pop into next period. Good trading to all and thanks for the charts SC.

  6. How about $2 as a target for HVU. There has been a consistent drop the last three days. According to your calculation when will the SPX fall below 1400. Please explain this SC.

    Replies
    1. There is really no downside at this level for UVXY and others from my analysis. SPX started to decline on the 20th as expected. SPX can continue this decline into the 23rd or 26th according to my cycle analysis.

    2. HI SC
      I went on record today at 9:33am AM for a low on the 26th and possibly the 27th at 12;30pm

      the only reason it was published at 9:30, and not earlier was that it was first sent to the VPN group at 8:30am

      How low is LOW?
      Tuesday at 12;30pm is my answer

      there are others who can stick out their necks to be bashed when those price projections are not met. but not me-

      BEST Wishes FOR NOW

  9. Here's whar the WIZ does....... so that he can handle both sides, one of the members track his smoke


    "Taking a quick look at JAY's Blog I see that last week on Mon.
    March 12, he states "Bearish week ahead" and on Tues. March 13
    "Bears get ready..do you hear the vacuum cleaner". But the market had a super week last week with a 25 pt move in S&P500
    on Tuesday alone! On tyhis past Sunday Jay looks for price to drop on Mon.&Tues to 1370-1340. And Tues.pre-opening he had EKG graph showing a low at 12:30 and Neg. Energy at 1:12. But actual low occurred before 10:00 a.m. These turns are real short term, so someone waiting for a low after 12:30 would have missed the up trend.On this same EKG from Tuesday a.m. we have a glimpse of the WED opening and it shows market dropping into 10:30 at 180b. But in the above message Jay states "potential for a good start til maybe 11 am" etc. What's up?? Down to 10:30 or up to 11:00 ??
    The Elliot Wave techs have Monday's high as the end of (3) and we drop in (4) or we have one more rally to (3)at 1426-1440 and a Dow target of 13,500 Giddy up!!"

    1. Basically these funds are constantly rolling over VIX futures. There is a cost to do this, and that is why the funds will decay over time in a flat market. This is normal.

      The idea is to look for spots when the VIX futures can spike. Typically these are not long term holds, but rather quick moves.

    1. HI Am
      62% of the DEC 28low to FEB 28 high
      on SILVER would take the price to 30.44 on MAR 30th
      NOTE THE GANN relationship of the dates

      That would take Gold to about the 1518 level
      on the same date - its about a 50/1 ratio.

      they are locked into the same cycle

    2. Jay, if gold sells down to 1518, gold silver ratio will be much higher and silver will be in the mid 20s. 50GSr and 1500 gold - i dont think so.

  14. I just graphed SC's "orange" pitchfork on Netdania for gold daily using his previous points and looks like we just bounced off his bottom pitchfork leg.
    SC am i correct on that ?

    Also, using netdania "ichimoku" for daily gold we just broke below the "cloud" cover and on a DMA basis, we just dropped below the 250 DMA with the 300 DMA presently at 1609. I love Netdania !

    I'm clueless but it would seem a bounce off the 300 DMA (like Dec 28, 2011) could make sense although a bounce off SC's pitchfork bottom leg could mean we are headed upward from here. From what I've read elsewhere a break below 1585 could signal very bad things to come.

  15. "From what I've read elsewhere a break below 1585 could signal very bad things to come."

    ReplyDelete
  20. The TVIX premium has been growing steadily. It is getting large, and it could continue to grow. It trades off supply and demand rather that in tune with the VIX futures.

    There are positives and negatives to it. The potential of the premium growing is the positive, and that has been the case so far. It could do extremely well in a down market. It is somewhat unpredictable though since it really is not tracking the VIX futures any longer.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Are you still holding your TVIX?

      Delete
    2. SC, so why would demand grow if no longer trades in tune with VIX futures.
      In other words what is there to drive demand?

      Delete
    3. Remember I showed that example with GAZ. TVIX is in the same situation, and it is possible that it could bubble wildly similar to GAZ.

      Demand can grow for several reasons. Some may be tempted to short TVIX thinking that they can profit from an eventual contraction in the premium. This could then lead to a short squeeze. Also TVIX is well-known as a "go to" product.

      Delete
  21. Well all I can add is that at some point Credit Suisse will issue new creation units as they have said that the suspension is only tempory.

  25. SC well given the action in TVIX one have to conclude that there is some heavy shorting down 12% as I type.
    Is it time to buy TVIX?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm watching it closely. I think it is extremely dangerous to short it. If enough shorts accumulate on it, then it could blow sky high with or without the VIX!

      The dilemma is that to buy it one has to pay a premium. That makes it speculative. I think one has to assess it uniquely. It other words it is a short squeeze play based on supply/demand rather than a play on the VIX futures.

      Let's see how it unfolds...

      Delete
    2. Interesting!! TVIX down over 10%!!

      Delete
    3. SC could be a nice spec play.
      The other thing is that a huge amount of that premium has just been wiped and if CS lift the suspension then it could explode.

We could see similar events in other ETFs in the future. VXX anyone?

    3. The problem with TVIX was that the premium evaporated. That is a separate issue from the VIX itself.

      The timing of when the VIX moves and SPX are different of course. Usually VIX is quiet for a while with traders not believing the downturn, then it spikes all of a sudden.

      Delete
    4. Do you still see a spike as VIX futures are dropping? I'm starting to feel like I should just cut my losses.

    6. What's minimal? You started going long around $20 and its been dropping 10%/day. I'd agree that's minimal if we'd see a 100% upside, but it doesn't feel like that's going to happen.

      Delete
    7. Bottom line I'm buying down here because I am confident I'll make profits at the price. The cycles have lined up very well this month so there are good solid reasons in place.

      In fact, I would not mind if this dribbles down a little further today. I already have a sizable position and if that occurs I'm going to get quite aggressive. Great opportunity.

  48. Below is the extract from Silver Wheaton yearly report, important thing to note is they sold only 21 odd million ounces from 25.7 million ounces and expect to hit new record next year production....just a thought for bulls when it comes to supply and demand and same time not everything on market is being sold out as some argues.

    Silver Wheaton Corp. (TSX: SLW.TO)(NYSE: SLW.TO) says that the company set production, operating and financial records in 2011. Production totaled 25.4 million silver equivalent ounces, an increase of 7% over 2010 as well as revenue rising 73% to $730 million based on 21.1 million ounces of silver equivalent sold, the company says. Net earnings rose 92% to $550 million or $1.56 per share while operating cash flows increased by 96% to $626.4 million or $1.77 per share. "Silver Wheaton finished 2011 with its strongest ever quarter of production and sales," says Randy Smallwood, president and chief executive officer of Silver Wheaton. "We are proud to have now grown for three consecutive years, and in 2011 we achieved record annual production levels of over 25 million silver equivalent ounces.” In 2012, Silver Wheaton expects to increase attributable production by 6% to approximately 27 million silver equivalent ounces, including 16,500 ounces of gold. Silver Wheaton is a Canadian-based company with projects located across the Americas and Europe.

    6. But, you also saw today as a very negative day. Markets are in the green.

      I have no idea if this stranger on the internet is for real or playing around (no offense to you, it's my fault getting into this either way). But at this point, compared to what you're projecting, there really is minimal downside, so I've got no choice but to hold. If we even see half of what you're saying, I'll be happy.

      If for any reason you no longer believe this, please say so. I'll exit my position, take my losses and enjoy my life. It is this seemingly false hope that is killing me.

    7. And honestly, 99% probability just seems unbelievable. I couldn't imagine anything with that great of a return being that probable. No offense, but that makes me seriously doubt the credibility of this analysis and blog. But, I know I'd kick myself much harder if I cut now and missed out than if I lose another 10%. So I'll hang on for a few more days...

    8. SPX has been in line with my cycles and the dates have been good. It started to drop on the 20th as expected, and then I also said end of the week looked negative. Yesterday was the third largest decline for SPX this year.

      So SPX has been in line with the cycle. The VIX futures have not responded to this downturn YET. My analysis is strongly showing that they do snap back into line.

  52. SC I would really like your opinion on TVIX here.

    Word is that short selling has been rampant the last two days and given that CS have reopened issuance coupled with any drop in the SPX and spike in volitilty I would think that TVIX could explode off these levels into the 20's.

    What do you think?

    1. I read the news release from CS carefully and it is unclear whether they could supply enough to meet demand in the case of a short squeeze. So yes that could be possible though I don't know how to assess the probability of that occurring.

      TVIX still has a small premium. 30 cents roughly.

      I do like this setup for the VIX spiking so that would be a positive for TVIX. Whether or not it sees a short squeeze is speculative. Put it this way a person can pay the extra 30 cent premium for TVIX and then have the short squeeze potential.

  53. SC, why not buy TVIX near its INAV and take advantage of the short covering along with the VIX spike you are predicting:

  56. HI AM
    YOU right about that - NOT GONNA MAKE IT TO 1518
    at least not for a while

    1628 yesterday was a perfect 62% on a new moon day & was on a Gann cycle stop point

    however
    as I count the waves there still might be a 5th wave lower coming to 1586 @ 78% retrace on March 30, a Qtr moon and another Gann cycle point.

    FROm there, it could get as high as 62% to 78%
    of the 395pts lost to the low
    so
    1586+245=1831
    or
    1586+308=1894

    and so far the MKT today at 2pm is asleep w 1398 as strong resistence
    Best Wishes
    Jay
    ps;

    3. rattling the bulls just like:

      "TOMRROW afternoon could offer a VERY BIG BREAK DOWN
      March 23rd at 2:30'sh pm"

      I don't think the bulls would mind one bit. Seriously Jay, you shouldn't bother about this sensationalistic bullshit. We know all about your 'scientific' resources.

    Really thats not that important, as time leads to counts and targets! What I do see is that time is not in yet for the top! It's always better to trade what is in front of you with an eye on your perception rather than the other way around! imho joed

    1. There are spots later in April that they could come down, but I see them spiking first. They are on the upswing now for a few weeks imo.

  69. So you are still 99% confident we will gain ~80% by Monday/Tuesday? Do you have a prediction as to how this run up wlil occur?

    1. Still the same. There is a specific pattern I am looking at, and it calls for a fast move - incredibly fast.

    2. SC, is this also accompanied by the SPX falling into your target area around 1370ish?

      Delete
    3. I'm going to review SPX this weekend. Steady slide with lower lows all week.

  70. I have been browsing a lot of the usual boards this evening, and what I read is pretty disturbiing.

    I'm seeing endless buy the TVIX dip trades all over the place.

    Anyone who follows any of this chart stuff would know that the last line in the sand dead-stop exit would have been a touch under 14. Thus any holders SHOULD have got kicked out early Thursday.

    Instead, I read people buying at 13, 12, 10, 8, and now 7.

    This is madness.
    -
    I am one of the most bearish macro-economist/traders out there, yet if I can see that the primary trends are STILL up, then it bemuses me how you others (with more experience, and who are less biased than myself) are still looking fot TVIX to recover.

    My initial near term target remains sp'1435/40. if thats the case, VIX will be in the 12s, and TVIX will be 6, if not the low 5s.
    -

    I do sincerely wish all of you the best, I just don't know really what else to say when I see this playing out again..and again.

    As a permabear, I sit here and baring an 'event' occuring, there is nothing in the immediate term that will get TVIX back into the teens, nor the main market lower. Quite the contrary in fact as today showed.

    The Bear camp does NOT have any energy right now to knock this market lower.
