XIV - Sideways Over - Larger Moves Ahead

XIV has been consolidating sideways, and the sideways move appears to be over or nearly so.  XIV is approaching long term resistance and volatility is likely to increase dramatically in the months ahead.

However, XIV is still trading within the orange channel, and a test of the upper channel may be possible before the channel breaks.

  1. Keep it simple. XIV is respecting the orange channel lines for now.

  2. Thanks for the update, SC. Just confirming the obvious: it sounds like your "plunge to SPX 2385 -> 2355" forecast is no longer operative?

    1. SPX held at 2,400, and we have seen a higher high now.

      It seems SPX may attempt to reach close to 2,500 before it plunges in Aug/Sept timeframe.

    2. Also plunge to 2350 or so. Do you expect highet high after that or lower high

  3. One thing I notice is that not once has VIX been extremely oversold this year. We may see that very soon though...

  4. Sc don't you think I would be smart to dump uvxy and X VXX and wait for 2500 then go back in your thoughts

    ReplyDelete
  5. SC, you still in UVXY from $10.65?

    ReplyDelete
  6. XIV is likely to become extremely overbought in the weeks ahead. Suspect the healthcare bill to pass soon. Expect a sell the news event.

  7. im not folowing the logic sc we owned xiv at 66 shouldve just held it why not short uvxy

    1. Buy and hold for XIV would have worked to date, but going forward it'll be dramatically more volatile.

      Delete
  8. so i guess the plan is to hold xiv to 100 or news driven event
    then short it or buy vxx or uvxy

    1. Yes, the plan is simply that once it nears the orange channel target, I'll be switching back into UVXY.

  11. sc with turndates 25 to 26 of july wondering if we are running out of time to reach your orange line your thoughts

    1. I am confident XIV to reach the orange line, and likely to overthrow the line.

      It may happen in July, but the run can extend into August, and that would be fine.

      Realistically XIV is up 10 days in a row, and some small dips and a few down days are probable going forward. XIV will grind up slowly now in my opinion.

    1. XIV becoming expensive as it approaches the orange line. The orange line is sloped upwards so price may rise further, but risk is also rising.

      Delete
  13. SC is it time to Short XIV or go along uvxy your thoughts

    1. I think it's early still for a large move in UVXY. XIV is up 12 days in a row though and doubt it can keep up this pace.

  17. Today is the first day XIV is entering overbought territory - one criteria we've been waiting for.

    Vix is not oversold yet though. SPX is attempting to reach 2500 or closer to it. SPX wants to test round numbers. 2300 was support. 2400 was resistance.

    As far as timing I would just wait and watch for ratification of the healthcare bill.

    UVXY can see lower yet. It's slowly getting there. Aim for low $20's.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I could have held XIV for longer but it is getting risky with a large drop due in August/September time frame. Any time you see price action like this up day after day it's a warning. Classic exhaustion.

    There will be spots for it later and much lower with little risk.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Low 20s what do you mean are you saying that can't be a tradable bottom in uvxy at this level

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. We'll see. If this continues into August then it'll be lower. We are starting to see early signs.

      Delete
  20. It's very important that I stay on the same page as you are you saying that XIV is going to go a lot higher from here

    1. Best to take it one step at a time. XIV just starting to become overbought and not at the orange line yet. We're getting there...

  21. Transports, Dow Indu telling me we see 3.1/.2% down from top. Target by early Thursday 2404/05 SPX. Minimum today 2412/13, maximum 2408/09. GDX has a target of around 21.37 down about 4.4% and QQQ has a 4.4% down side target too.

    This SPX pattern is so condensed with Y waves and now the Indu has joined in. This sudden sell-off will most likely be caused by the FOMC. I have a 48 TD low due early Thursday (15 week). Still looking for August 31 bottom. August 24 to 31 look like the final C wave down of "Z" where a good 6-7% of so of the SPX will likely fall.


    This will be a buy the dips market especially for GDX and NUGT as we go into Wave C of "Y".

    GDX has a target top around 24.25 by Aug 7/11

    SPX has a target top of August 8. I have a double TLC low due August 10 on SPX/Indu

    1. UVXY can pop on any given day, but I think it'll be lower in later August. The August 22nd turn date is looking good.

      Delete
    2. XIV hasn't reached the orange line yet.

  25. brad gungeon says this from bluestarmarkettimer.com
    The 8 td low came today. We may make higher highs into August 7/8 turn date. Very little room for new highs. Today should go positive. Target August 14 is 2265

    ReplyDelete
  26. We have seen big drops in August in recent years, but historically September is the most bearish month. Likely the high is forming in August, with September being the worst month.

    ReplyDelete
  27. SC so what r your expectation. Spx to 2360 or so in sept and test of highs again or going to 2700

    ReplyDelete

    1. I do expect to see the 2300's tested, and then higher.

      Delete
    2. are you looking for 2300 in august or seotember

      Delete
    3. At this point we are still in a topping process. Let's wait to see that mature and then finally can see a drop into the 2300's.

    1. I may be interested in XIV around $88, but will wait and see. If XIV forms a base in the $88 to $93 level for a few weeks I'm interested in XIV again.

  29. Gold up 11% in the year to date after a gain of 8% in 2016.

  30. Seeing this dip at the August 9th turn date.

  31. XIV support around $88. May see XIV forming a range in the low $90's for a few weeks then finally test $100.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Things are getting interesting! XIV playing out as per the chart posted.

    ReplyDelete
  33. XIV near the orange channel line $82. Big bounce possible here.

    ReplyDelete
  34. SPX - 9 to 10 points, GDX up to near 23, NUGT +4.4% UVXY +5%.

    Support on the SPX is near 2459/60 with a tight B Band squeeze. A move below point this should bring on the expected waterfall action. Yesterday may have been wave 'b' of "z" of Z and now wave 'c', the 3rd of the 3rd wave action with a panic low predicted for early Monday where all the major cycles bottom.

    Channel support Monday is near 2265. We may see a break of this channel. Indications suggest a possible (X) wave of the larger B with (Y) and (Z) yet to come into early next year.

    GDX has an ideal top due Friday this week +/- 2 TD's. Gold has an ideal top due early Monday.

    Mars is heavily aspected this week. Now, N. Korea is going to Iran for help. As I said early on N Korea or Iran may be involved and also Trump.

  35. The XIV chart was quite accurate, but there is a reason I've been cautious with UVXY. The full analysis with charts is coming.

  36. Where do you see gold SC? You have expected a downtrend? When is going to happen, in your view?

  38. XIV will definitely hit 73.50 to 74.25 soon

  39. XIV currently retesting the June low. However, as shown in the chart it might test the May low around $68.

    Having said XIV $88 target looks good.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The market turned down on the August 9th turn date. Next turn date is August 22nd. We may not see the low of this move until around August 22nd.
