SVXY - Initiating Coverage

As expected the parabolic rise in XIV identified early in 2017 collapsed with a bottomless decline.  The fund will be delisted on February 20, 2018.  The END.

Similarly, SVXY has fallen from grace.  SVXY has backtested fork support exactly.  Longterm trendline resistance is located at approximately $19.

  1. Money starting to flow into SVXY.

    "Cboe executives said Friday on an earnings conference call that the ProShares fund was benefiting from a surge of investor inflows, since other funds for the short-volatility strategy are shutting down. SVXY assets have risen to more than $650 million from $100 million in just a week, the executives said."

    2. but you would take that position on a pullback in market correct and if so what price on svxy

    3. Yes, I'm waiting for possible entry. SVXY has warmed a little this week but might settle back. Let's wait and see.

    4. Volatility has reverted to normal. This is a normal market. Historically VIX averages around 18.

    1. Credit Suisse decided to exit the inverse volatility business with XIV whereas Proshares SVXY has continued.

      This structure can be adversely affected if VIX futures rise suddenly. If it happens in one day that is particularly damaging. However that is rare.

      It's important to have realistic expectations, diversification, take precautions and have a trading plan to reduce risks.

    2. I guess when the time is right I'll buy 10,000 svxy shares instead of 100,000 shares LOL you still think the markets going down at 2625

      Delete
    3. that CS could close out XIV was stated in the fund's prospectus. Moves of more than 80 percent on the VIX gave them the option of closing out the fund. You'd have to read the SVXY fund's prospectus to see whether they have that option.

  4. If we get a bug 2722 the 50-day moving average we're going to move a lot higher

  5. SPX should dip soon. SPX 2,750 is a tough resistance. SPX 2,650 support.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Going forward I plan to trade S&P and volatility which is the hottest trade on the market.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Enough time to dip and still hit 2875 next week with 4 trading days?

  8. thx SC, that would be quite a sight to see

  9. I'm expecting some weakness in SPX next week then rally hard. Maybe the rally will be mostly the following week.

    1. SPX still looks like it can pullback next week. May see as low as 2,650.

  11. a break above 2751.29 would mean a move higher possibly 2762

    1. I'm expecting $14 UVXY to be tested this week. It may bounce off that but I will not participate.

      Yes, $5 UVXY.

  14. SC, how high do you see UVXY pop after $5?

    1. UVXY chart is coming and will show $5 then a target $12 to $15.

  15. Tony Dwyer @dwyerstrategy
    Our call is for retest and minor break of recent low, before ramping into 2018 #SPX target of 3100. Since 1992, when #VIX weekly rate-of-change spikes to 125 (02/09) on weekly close, #SPX rallies ~5%, then retests low ~30 days after signal. We excl. crisis period.

  18. I wanted to place an order for SVXY. I would not go through. Called the broker and was informed that it is closing down...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Some brokers have restricted clients from trading inverse volatility etfs. Fidelity I know for one example. It's unfortunate.

    ReplyDelete
  20. SPX is looking solid. Not much of a pullback. VIX was actually down yesterday. VIX looks like it may be heading down for another week to 13 or 14.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Do you see 2700 holding on SPX. Or it could test around 2650-80 before going higher. thz

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I identified 2,750 SPX as a resistance and it was rejected there. However, it doesn't look like it'll cool off much.

      Delete
  22. SPX has entered the whipsaw stage. Up for a week next. I may look to short late next week.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What do you see the S&P going up to?

    ReplyDelete
  24. SPX test around 2,800. When VIX hits 15 I'm out of these positions.

  27. SVXY heating up. SVXY target $15 in about a week.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I may exit SVXY today or Monday if it spikes up to $13.75. It may dip back to $12 then run to $15.

    Yes, UPRO $150 there is some resistance but I may just hold for $165. I doubt it'll pullback much from $150.

  29. SPX is very strong. It could see as high as 2,900 on this move.

  35. If volatility has returned to normal (15-20), then how will UVX reach $5?

    Wouldnt VIX need to plunge to 9-10's again for uvxy to drop so low?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Volatility has reverted to normal. Historically VIX averages 18 and we can expect that average this year.

      However, it'll be an extremely volatile year. Big spikes and deep dips for VIX this year.

      We can see 9 VIX but not for long periods of time. The years of record calm are over.

  36. SVXY hit $13.75 resistance and dropped. Next interested in entering $11.80 SVXY for the run to $15.

    1. Thanks Frank. Yes the leverage is being reduced on both UVXY and SVXY. UVXY from 2x to 1.5x. SVXY from 1x to .5x.

      There has been an uproar due to the recent crash. Basically they are adjusting to a higher volatility environment.

      Delete
    2. someone made 2 much like 300 million big boys paid out alot

      Delete
  39. Does UVXY reducing leverage to 1.5 mean they will do fewer reverse splits? Or does it mean any future upside will be limited? Not sure why uvxy would do this now that volatility is back and uvxy stands to profit from it.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Both fewer splits and limited upside but in a more volatile market the moves will be comparable size.

      Volatility too hot for many to handle. The market is only allowed to go up...

      Delete
    2. Since TVIX is still 2x, would you use that instead of UVXY in the future?

      Delete
    3. I do not like the leverage change by Proshares, but I give them credit for standing by the funds.

      Credit Suisse damaged TVIX years ago by halting creation units. This was very serious. Now XIV has been ruined.

      So UVXY and SVXY have a good record. They track the index which they are designed to do. I will stick with these funds.

  41. The chart for SPX was susceptible to a fake breakout and pullback from 2,800. That is what we are seeing.

    However, the real breakout is coming soon. I'm expecting March to be extremely bullish. We may see 2,650 as I've been saying, but 2,900 is next resistance.

    I entered bullish positions and will add soon.

    Next surprise is to the upside!

    2. Not yet for the second leg. We're just beginning the whipsaw phase. Second leg due to start April for SVXY.

      Delete
  42. Using RUT daily chart...since it's not manipulated nearly as much as SP500...either W3 down or a C-wave down is underway today. It may continue into Friday, or bounce on the morning's Jobs Report. Either way, a bounce of sorts is likely due into 9 March Bradley Date...which is also the anniversary of the market's bullish recovery...Coincidence? Hmmmm...Be Careful!

  43. Looks like the market could get slapped out even further possibly 2532

    1. 2736 is the 50 dma for SPX. It's been tested a few times already and expect it to be very weak resistance. SPX should break above that and then it becomes support.

  52. Some more unsolicited Bradley VooDoo to ponder...sure, it's possibly wrong, it's more than a little crazy, but it's at least worthy of a thought provoking 'Hmmmm...' all the same...after all, the market is currently bouncing...as previously mentioned it would...Coincidence? Hmmmm....anyway, based on recent patterns, a likely path would lead to 9 March as the potential high (SP500 at 2800-ish), followed by a possible turn lower into the more significant Bradley date of 21 March. Or maybe not...so please, Be Careful!

Then again, maybe this is all simply useless crap and the market's on the verge of plummeting into and endless abyss...either way, please, Be Careful!

  55. SPX is transitioning into a steady uptrend next. Calm seas and smooth sailing ahead.

    SVXY relentless grind higher next. Slow and steady. It may be flat for a while here as it builds a base. Optimal target $15.40. I plan to exit around $15.
