UVXY - Different Short Term Scenario

SPX analysis including short term target level 1380 and timing (early next week) remain the same.

However, UVXY may play out according to the following short term scenario instead.  It still should pop quite well early next week during the negative cycle, but from a lower price.    

15min Chart

156 comments:

  1. My average on UVXY is around $5.20. So I probably will unload it near break even.

    UVXY should pop next to $5.15-19 area imo.

    ReplyDelete
  2. First unload over $6, then unload at break even....Every time when you are wrong, there is New Chart that totally forgoes the previous one and the timeline gets pushed forward another week...

    There is a lot of Flip Flop going on...and it's getting beyond ridiculous (just because it's free doesn't mean it should be given a free pass to whatever is posted)

    1. I'll still do just as well with this scenario as the other. The size of the pop is the same even though it starts lower.

      Adjustments are made when necessary.

      Delete
    2. size of the pop is the same it just starts lower... so if it pops 3 bucks from a dollar thats good ?

      Delete
    3. So now just looking at 5s, I thought we were in these to try make money. That's right, what's the point if it pops 3 dollars from $1 when we are in at 5s. Thought a big negative cycle supposed to hit last month and this month.

  3. He will likely delete this post also.

    I will say this again, SC does not understand what he is trading, first indication is he is using a cancer filled ETF chart, if you don't understand the issue with this then stop trading. Second he does not even understand what UVXY is actually tracking like many here don't, if they say they do then why would they not plot it LOL. If one could post charts in this forum then one could help you traders out, but this is not allowed. If you don't understand what your trading then don't trade it and yes if you continue to bump your nose against the wall after doing it 10 times in a row, then you do deserve to lose all your money.

    Lets see how long he keeps this one posted LOL.

  4. SC... when you abandon UVXY people will begin to take you seriously.. (maybe), go back the last couple months and reaqd your posts and be honest with yourself its been horrible. GL

    ReplyDelete
  5. thankyou for the update SC
    I am in with my 1st 1/3 position @ 4.5, VIX futures = 17.38

    will not hold long or will buy more when VIX Sep = 17
    would be nice if we get to 5.2 again. You do seam to get out of your trades without losing on UVXY

    good luck all

  7. SPX is currently up 21 points from my Aug 30th low and 42 points if one went short at the peak on Aug 17th and long on the Aug 30. I posted this scenario weeks ago.

    Unknown are you out there? I'm waiting for your charts...

    3. Cycles were negative in August and what did we get - NOTHING

      Cycles were weak this week , what did we get NOTHING

      SP might hit 1380 in 2-3 weeks but UVXY's will still be $5...so what's the point ?

      Delete
  9. It is not a secret now that SC is working on inverse cycles; so not going to waste my time on commenting...

    Although market has gone up substantially with ECB bond buying news...Precious metals are not buying that news..which is big surprise!

    I have entered in HVU at 12.20 for short term...charts are oversold and should provide some bounce by end of the day...

    ReplyDelete
  10. I might add to my HVU at low 12's today...worth a bounce try for next week....Either way the Jobs Report is a mute point now..Might get lucky and have a 1-2 days of volatility.

    1. At this rate, we be luck to see UVXY making $5 lol. Keep praying for it. Otherwise it wont even happen. They just did a QE basically from Euro. As well, the number was well above expectation in US. This is a signal that we are going to trend up for a while, what happen to VIX when that happens?

      Above all this, we get a stock split lol.

    you would be up 65% by now !

  21. If we close above 1426 on the SPX we have a good chance of tagging the 1449 level in the next couple of days. This will most likely bring UVXY to around the $3.75 level or $37.50 post split...

    1. Zig Zag does a fine job with his time cycles.

      I've traded my short term cycles in Aug with good success. I won't make much on this current short term trade. Most importantly, yes, I am trading in tune with the large cycle as well.

      Really, when you think about it, today SPX traded 10 points higher than the early April high. So the opportunity for bulls, and bears has been equal during that time frame. The market dropped and has come back up to the same level.

      Delete
    2. But UVXY is making new low from that time to now. hmm...something isnt right.

      Delete
    3. It's lower because of the leverage, decay, and would be expected.

    2. I actually went back on this blog and looked at what you have posted here.
      I guess you have not posted your trades on this blog though because since June the up moves we have had on uvxy were a few small moves from 8 to 9 between July 5 and July 10 at a time you posted you were not trading short term and were fully loaded.
      A spike from July 20 to July 23 when it went from 6.90 to 9.50 in which you posted on July 20th you had sold everything at 7.34.
      So according to what you have posted here, you got yourself back to even by trading very recently from 5.02 to 5.70?
      Either that or you have been making a lot of trades in this and not posting them here.

    1. Great strategy! are you concerned about the CIT guys call for up into Sept 11?

    2. there call is for peak on 10-11th. Yes, VIX-Sep will probably go down below 16 but not much. Only a few days before it reverses.

      In hindsite, should have had more confidance in their call, & bought XIV. Greed, though screwed me up.

      Its hard not to get caught up in SC's enthusiasm. Need to ignore it & manage the risk

  44. 32 SLV calls purchased a few weeks ago are up from 0.20$ to 1.60$.

    The mistake for a lot of folks here was getting into VIX related instruments, folks stick to the markets that are easier to understand and trade!

    I never traded any VIX related vehicles and not planning to, especially after seeing how it wiped out >100,000$ (by my estimates) from readers of this blog.

    ReplyDelete
  64. It has been a very long time since I commented on here. I have to say 2 thumbs up to Zig Zag also. He painted the picture a year ago, but most of you only wanted to listen to SC.
    I was short at the start of the year, but got stopped out(took a loss). I was concerned because SC was calling for a crash...when he does this the markets always do the opposite. I hope most of the "followers" are starting to see the light. I have made huge gains taking the opposite trade of SC.
    I have been patient with my XIV and it is paying off. Today I am taking profits with some and always use stops. The market can fall a few 100 points and I will still be in green with the rest of my XIV. Most on here get mesmerized because of the charts and his conviction. Any one can draw lines, but the good ones make profits.

    I only came across SC a few years ago because my friend mentioned about him on stockhouse. I read some of his quotes on FAZ in the fall of 2010. Interesting reads. He was all-in on margin of FAZ and down 40%. Many people were asking how he wasn't broke. He was basically calling everybody else stupid for being long the markets and actually making money. I know I am old, but if you are down that much on margin....how are you not broke? Amazingly, he always comes away with profits and his methods always work. Really? I am sure SC will delete this post because he will not like it on his site.

Why fight the trend. Even SC is leaving his position at low 50...

  72. Sad to see so many losing their shirts with this vehicle. I've been a victim myself.

    Remember, keep it small.

    To be honest, there really is no reason to be trying to catch a bottom with this cancerous vehicle; it is best to position long on the upward swings to ride the wave.

    By upward swings I mean when price action closes above the 10DMA on the daily. But the second most important thing, is getting out when it closes below the 10DMA again.

    Trying to pick a bottom with this vehicle is a FOOLS GAME. You might as well go bet all in with a J/7 at your local casino.

    SC -- I will be COMPLETELY amazed if you see 52.00 next week. But, maybe there will be a natural disaster this weekend, and hoping for disaster is a terrible way to live life.

    The true lesson here was missing the move in XIV. I know I am kicking myself.

      MISSED THE XIV BOAT OBVIOUSLY :}

      I am in 85% cash, 15% SDS at a price of 13.83 (bought in after hours yesterday).

      I was in UVXY on Wednesday but after it failed to move up from ~4.98 I sold 15 minutes before close (thankfully).

      Look, I think UVXY could pop soon (it almost hit it's lower 50,2 bollinger band on the daily today), but I am just not confident enough to invest big $$$ in UVXY right now.

      I will look to sell SDS on some weakness early next week and will position short later this month -- and will even think about getting back in UVXY after it has time for the 10DMA to come down a bit (couple weeks at this rate).

    "No, I really like this short term setup for UVXY, and I'm holding through this negative cycle for SPX. The cycle just started, and it is about to intensify into early next week.

    I'm sure I'll do well on this trade.

    Already bottoming around $4.40 so will just wait for $5.30 area now. Will only make a small profit on this trade.

    well, two days later down more than 30%, great setup for sure, but it's for XIV

    1. ...forget UVXY...I still cannot see negative cycle happened this entire week. In fact, I feel we are in either a positive cycle or an inverted negative cycle...Dont know why SC doesnt just flip his work, instead of pushing his work forward when it been pretty clear that it either a positive or inverted cycle this entire week....weird...

    2. It's called hubris. I lost a lot of money on UVXY too but feel fortunate that I sold for a loss in the low-mid 5's. Look back to May 2012 and you'll see a 150 point drop in the S&P but that barely resulted in a double for UVXY. I do think UVXY can go up 10X but that will occur under extremely rare circumstances.

  76. SC, have you figured out what went wrong and whether next week will bring higher level for us to exit UVXY? thanks

    1. Yes, I have reviewed it in detail. After 3 nice wins in a row 50-70 cents presplit on the short term trades, this trade did go way offside on me. However, I realize next week is likely to bring a reasonable exit for this current trade. I may take a loss of 25 cents on this trade presplit.

      It took me a little time to adjust my charts for the split so I will have the chart up this weekend.

    2. Thanks SC, i'm in this as well and need an exit strategy so keep me posted.

      As for the negative cycle on the SPX, it seems that many analysts are now in a nuetral position due to last weeks action. I think we may get a small correction in October then up into the elections then down after Novemeber..imo

  77. A bounce to around the 3.9 - 4 level is probably a fair level I would imagine.....but I wouldn't expect more than this as clearly the mkt is telling us its going higher!
