UVXY - Mount Everest Cycle

The Mount Everest Cycle is a large scale Cycle applicable to large scale movements only in UVXY. 

The Cycle predicted major moves including:

- Rise up from the white arrow to the red arrow Fiscal Cliff top for UVXY.
- Fast drop for UVXY with large gap down from the red arrow Fiscal Cliff.
- The late February spike up for UVXY.
- Decline for UVXY after the February spike.

UVXY is nearing the blue arrow major bottom as shown in the Cycle.  The Cycle decline down from the red to the blue arrow is getting mature, yet short term downside for UVXY remains probable.  It is important to emphasize that this is a large scale Cycle.

Of note, there is an interesting relationship comparing the timing of both the Cycle and UVXY.  Notice that the rise from the white arrow to the red arrow was relatively faster for UVXY compared to the Cycle.  Furthermore, the decline for UVXY from the red arrow to the blue arrow has been relatively slower. 

The Mount Everest Cycle movements are very much in agreement with the Deja Vu Cycle for SPX going forward.  Both large scale Cycles predict the same result.

The Mount Everest Cycle is shown below:

UVXY is slowly approaching the blue arrow in this large scale Cycle.

  1. I plan to continue to post short term charts along with updating the position in this large scale Cycle going forward.

  2. UVXY is heading into the blue arrow bottom in this Cycle therefore some short term downside is probable. When the blue arrow low is thought to be in place, the analysis and reasoning will be posted.

    Once the blue arrow low is in place then the next major target is the yellow arrow on the Cycle. For UVXY the gap down area from the red arrow is the target level.

    1. SC,
      Just want to clarify. Are you saying UVXY is still on the way to the next low until 6's in April? and then in late April it will start to bounce back to a higher point, say 10's (which is the yellow arrow)? and then it will drop again, and the last surge will be huge?

      Delete
    2. First we are waiting for the blue arrow low to be reached. Need to give that process some time to see it unfold, and will use short term charts to better define that time and price.

      Once the blue arrow low is confirmed then the next target area would be the yellow arrow. That target level should be around the $19 gap in early Jan.

    3. A waiting game right now, and this Cycle will take time to play out fully.

  3. Well, I sure don't meddle in them myself, but I'm rooting for you battered TVIX/UVXY holders this week..and into May.
    -

    Considering the sp' is only 10pts from the high, I find it difficult to envision the VIX more than another few percent lower.

    I suppose a double top @ sp'1573 is possible, but..weekly charts say NO!

    Regardless, I will hope for VIX 16/17 at least in the next few days.

    hmm

    My counter argument would be...

    'Having watched the transports (by definition, the markets 'old leader) spend 12 months in a sideways range..and now breaking out...

    Yet, you are claiming the Tranports its 12 months sideways, and we're to expect 1 month up..and maybe thats it?

    no way. The breakout is likely month'1 of what could be a 2-3 year surge to unthought of highs - fuelled by the Bernanke paper bubble.

    I just can't see how after the breakout has JUST started, that its now somehow going to end.

    That simply makes no sense.
    -

    Underlying fundamentals be damned, since when did they matter anyway in this new era of paper printing.
    -

    I would also note that a 100pt fall does not really count as 'scary drop'. Hell, even the November drop was bigger, and that felt like slow motion decline in many respects.

    With respect, go look at the Transports weekly/monthly charts..for 'some time'..and really ask yourself, how can the breakout which JUST started..be about to end?

  6. There still might be a small amount of upside for SPX, but the bigger picture is that it is testing resistance at 1575 that has held for 13 years.

    SPX has gained nothing in 13 years!

  8. This is a process all right.

    A classic battle of the bulls and bears. The bulls have the trend from 2009, but the bears have the much longer trend of resistance.

    Though the bulls will give it a try, the large Cycles clearly show the bears winning this battle.

  13. If i understand correctly, the uvxy supposed to move back to red arrow (which corresponds to gap from January $17-20...)

    Replies
    1. You have the right idea.

      Well, of course, first UVXY has to hit the blue bottom. Then, that gap area is where the yellow arrow target would be located.

      Let me get back to you, and I will measure that move again to the green arrow.

  19. Given I see the high of the SPX happening May 14 - 16, around or over 1600, I would suspect UVXY will have split again. That is the only way this see's $20 before then. The drop I have pencilled in after this though, will be great for UVXY, and I may join in for the ride. Here is my roadmap#1:

  20. Not too sure why everyone is getting excited about UVXY yet....mkt is going up, UVXY is going down + add on decay.

    Next stop is 6.3 in my opinion.

    Let's stay on planet Earth...a move to $10 would be huge!!!

  21. One step at a time. The short term charts will be used to better define the movements on the large scale Cycle.

  22. There are negative short term cycles coming for SPX later this month.

    Once everyone says that the market is surely breaking out, it will be ready to dip. Give it some time and let it play out.

  27. These Cycles have worked well so far. Look at the moves that the UVXY Cycle has already predicted above. Look at the phases that the Deja Vu Cycle has already predicted.

    The Deja Vu Cycle predicted the sharp rally phase in SPX. I was bullish at the bottom in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan.


    ReplyDelete
  28. These Cycle were very bullish during the Fiscal Cliff!

    ReplyDelete
  29. The white arrow to red arrow move in Dec corresponded to $17 to 28 move in UVXY...

    The blue arrow looks like a HIGHER HIGH than the white arow on Deja vu cycle, yet in uvxy its making daily LOWER LOWS... So are you certain that this deja vu cycle can correspond to uvxy?

    1. The Deja Vu Cycle is a completely different Cycle for SPX.

      This Cycle is for UVXY.

    2. Yes, in this UVXY Cycle, the blue arrow is lower than the white arrow which is why we also expect a lower high for the yellow arrow than the red arrow.

    3. These large Cycles are useful for showing the major phases of the movement. The short term charts are more helpful in further defining each movement.

    4. What is really interesting is that the large scale Deja Vu Cycle for SPX, and this large scale UVXY Cycle are very much showing major moves in tune with each other going forward.

    What does this mean? Move to 12-14 instead of 17-20 gap fill?

    I'd sure like to know when the blue bottom is in to load up more. Xiv is paying off but no way will i add to that position

    Replies
    1. The gap is the correct yellow target imo for UVXY. In the Cycle the yellow arrow is actually higher than the red.

      Since UVXY is making the lower low for blue then yellow should also be a lower high around the gap area.

      Delete
    2. Ok. Thanks! Does vix still need a double bottom at 11 before you'd consider the blue bottom in?

      Delete
    3. It would be preferable to see a higher low for VIX in the 11's since that would be a sign of complacency. VIX has been holding solid, some fear still out there. There is the gap at 12 too.

      Delete
  31. The bigger picture is this...most people on this site are long of UVXY at 14-15. The price is now 7.

    Dreaming that they will go up 1,000% is going to cost people their shirts.

    May I suggest SC, that you at least warm people of the risk because many of the people on your site may not have trading experience.

    The fact is that UVXY go down 10% per month....there is no guarantee that the mkt will crash. Let the buyer beware there are safer investment strategies out there.

    1. Definitely trading volatility etfs is aggressive. There are other etfs such as VXX that have less leverage too.

      Most of my analysis is S&P. Many prefer to trade S&P and avoid VIX futures trading altogether. There are lots of way to trade S&P with or without leverage.

      So without question people do need to be responsible and decide whether a strategy is appropriate for their specific financial situation and level of knowledge.

  32. I will take a position in UVXY when the mkt hits 1600ish....we are gearing up for a big move up in the mkt to kill all the bears.

    I only trade UVXY, never hold a bad position, I'm not in it to make a fortune, I always take my profits & only trade this beast 2-4 times a year.

    My call is around 6.3 for UVXY based on a chart SC produced a couple of weeks ago but I'm very flexible.

    ReplyDelete
  33. SC / PAYDAY

    Both of you watch UVXY a lot more than I do....

    My call for the mkt is a wave 3 high of 1600-1620 then a corrective 4 to 1460 over the summer before new highs yr end.

    QUESTION - "IF" this scenario works out....how much are UVXY likely to go up in a 150 point correction in the S&P over the summer months in your opinion?

    Let's assume base line price for UVXY will be 6 at 1600.

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That is similar to what the UVXY Cycle suggests. For UVXY that gap area at $19 to low $20's is the natural place to look assuming a strong spike in VIX.

      VIX doesn't always spike strongly along with S&P drops historically (such as Nov), but lately since December VIX has been spiking on drops for S&P. The target seems realistic given that in late December S&P fell 50 points and UVXY nearly doubled.

With UVXY, there is no guarantee you will get any money back, and a chances are if you have a buy and hold strategy you will lose all your money.

      Now, with that said, UVXY could be interesting here, but timing is an issue I think. As its trading futures and shifting toward the next contract, much more potential to drop further before the top date I have in Mid May....either way, overnight is risky.
