TVIX - More Upside Ahead!

TVIX will cool tomorrow, but continue to rise higher into the following week.

TVIX is cheap relative to VIX.  This is because the futures curve is in extreme backwardation.  VIX is high and the VIX futures will continue to rise to reach equilibrium.

Fade this one day bounce for markets!  

Daily

















SPX will rise tomorrow and fall for 5 or 6 days afterwards.  Fade this bounce!  You will see a better entry the following week.

Daily

















VXO is pushing towards the 1987 trendline.  Higher yet!

  2. Plan to enter TVIX tomorrow. Hold into Tuesday March 10th.

  3. SC - Any target for SPX next week? Just curious do you think it will stage a larger bounce after that back to 3100-3200?

    1. Expect this rally attempt to fail around 3,025 slide down next week to 2,925.

      Yes after that SPX will perform better in March.

  4. We can already see the relationship unfolding. Currently VIX down 3%, TVIX up 5%.

    The VIX futures curve is in extreme backwardation.

    1. To reach equilibrium again VIX will settle but remain elevated.

      The VIX futures will press higher giving TVIX huge advantage.

      Delete
    2. SPX is damaged and can't bounce enough to normalize the VIX futures curve.

    3. Tvix 80 to 130 is that what your thinkin?

      Delete
    4. Yes, $80's and $130's for TVIX.

      Delete
  5. SVXY would have been good to enter on Friday. Quite difficult to catch that falling knife. Better entry next week anyway.

  6. So 2840 low wont be broken in march

    2. Was hoping for $80's but TVIX stubbornly strong.

  12. Okay, I better just tell you guys.

    If TVIX hits $135 this week it's target $200 Friday the 13th of March.

    1. I think we have most of this week to fine tune an entry. There's time.

      Having said that so far TVIX is holding incredibly strong. The white line rises every day so if TVIX hits it later in the week maybe around $90 best we can get.

      Delete
    2. SC - that sounds like we will be heading towards SPX 2,750 after this bounce is over...

      Delete
    3. It could very well be the case. 2,650 to 2,700 very important.

      Delete
  13. Does not make sense tvix at 39. And now to buy at 95.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I know. I did move in and out of it last week. Caught some of that first leg.

    TVIX is a beast. It's an animal. In 2011 it ran 700%.

    Measured move. I think TVIX runs 600% this time.

    ReplyDelete
  15. But u saying lows of 2850 will not be broken this month

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. TVIX held incredibly strong today.

      I'm thinking now that SPX may not be able to hold the lows...

      Delete
  16. The other huge warning is that SPX fell harder that the Chinese market.

    Normally the Chinese market is far more volatile. That's a "tell"...

  18. Don't bet against the fed, its not time to start that yet...

    fear is something that can be erased in a .50 rate cut second

    1. The Fed probably will cut rates but when?

      Trump is demanding lower or even negative rates. Wall Street now begging for rate cuts.

      So far Powell does not seem to be budging.

      Delete
    2. Fed cut rates this morning...SC we have hit the 50% retracement near 3125 SPX, should we wait for 3150-3180 to short for the next leg down?

    1. Market is trying to find it's footing. For sure whipsaws are ahead as it tests and tries to find that balance.

      For now I'm trading those whipsaws as I see them unfold. Today's trading plan worked precisely.

      Delete
    2. SC - just curious, you said next selloff would be March 6 to 13th, should we wait till the 6th to go long TVIX? This market is an obvious short...just matter of levels/timing. Thanks for your guidance as always!

      Delete
    3. Yes next window for selloff March 6th to 13th.

      I definitely plan to get positioned this week TVIX. Friday may be best though Wednesday may be good enough.

      Delete
    4. SPX may be quiet tomorrow as it digests today's gain. 3,048 is the daily 200. The 50 weekly is 3,030.

      Probably slip to test those.

      Delete
  20. i will tell ya thou volatility vix down but uvxy and tvix holding up

    ReplyDelete
  21. 50% retracement occurred on the SPX within a minute or so, then eroded. check the 7:00a bar. This is either exactly what SC is suggesting, or it is a fake out before the next move up.

    How do we confirm either?

    2. Fake breakout. SPX bounce tomorrow and slide down into next week

  22. SPX one day rally attempt failed as expected.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Tomorrow expect SPX to bounce recovering about half today's losses.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Tomorrow will be another good short entry.

    ReplyDelete
  25. sc are you looking to buy tvix at 95 again or lower

    ReplyDelete
  26. there is no guarantee that tvix goes up otherwise we would be holding from 40

    ReplyDelete
  27. Tomorrow $105 TVIX then spike to $140 this week. Drop to $85.

    ReplyDelete
  28. TVIX hit the white trendline on the emergency rate cut then shot up.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Friday is looking good for TVIX entry.

    1. Are you looking to enter below 105 still

    2. Yes there is still the chance for a good entry TVIX $90's.

  32. I'm thinking 3190 is possible on spx

    ReplyDelete
  33. Sold March 13th $23 VXX puts $1.59.

    ReplyDelete
  34. TVIX is 15 pts higher than what it was when SPX hit this same area around 3130.

    Is that significant? How come it has not come back to the same price or below?

    that means vix is staying strong?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This is because of the VIX futures curve. VIX futures are floating up to meet the VIX itself. That's why there is this rising pressure for TVIX over time.

      Delete
    2. SPX cannot bounce enough to fix the inverted curve.

      Delete
  35. TVIX dipped to $105 level as identified yesterday.

    Replies
    1. SC - Seems like we should be buying TVIX at 105 for the rally to 140 now? SPX close enough to 3125?

      Delete
    2. It's very close but Friday may present the best entry. March 6th. Looking like it's going according to plan.

      Delete
    3. Thanks SC - scaling in for the next short...going to be good...hopefully we can see 2800-2900 SPX next week.

  36. I'm thinking $95 TVIX Friday. Tomorrow it may try for $120.

  37. Sc how high u expecting for spx

  38. Even as SPX is rising, SVXY continues to look very heavy. It does appear that a lower low is coming for SVXY.

  39. Every day SVXY takes hit from Mike Tyson. It's reeling and on the ropes. Waiting for the KO.

  40. This appears to be a gap and go for TVIX. It is likely breaking out to $140.

  50. Looks like there is no good long entry point today, but SOXL might be a good buy for a pop up in the SP.

  51. Plan to hold TVIX into Monday. Monday expect big down day for SPX as low is retested.

    2. I hear you. I know it seems ridiculous. I had to block out the thoughts and just go with the charts.

      Yes, agree once TVIX does top out it'll retrace most of the entire move.

      Delete
    3. Still I expect there will be ample time to exit at the top, and then of course look to the other side.

    4. Believe me I am well aware that there is more than meets the eye.

  79. Louis is a very good trader and has the funds to scale in and out. SC likely didn't post his trade because he didn't feel 100% confident and didn't want to lead us wrong. His blog and opinions are free and he said it was going down soon. I missed it all too but blame myself as I should not have been so greedy and should have taken the trade even if not "perfect" and held on tight. Good luck to all!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I feel if there is a plan for three or 6 months people decide when to sell or buy. Playing the waves nobody is correct. I remember getting stuck in uvxy when buying so high

    ReplyDelete
  81. I sincerely apologize for that guys!!!

    The intention has always been to make money and have a lot of fun!

    The price action for SVXY was telling me it was in trouble. I said it was reeling and against the ropes and about to be knocked out by Mike Tyson.

    When I took the positions I was thinking about a pop to $120.

    Then when I saw it breakout above $120 I told you the breakout was real. I saw the price come backtest the $120.
    Even $120 was a very good entry. I tried to explain how cheap TVIX was because of the curve, and the VIX futures had huge spread and needed to surge dramatically!

    Anyway don't be hard on yourselves. Panics are extremely difficult to trade. You are only human!

  83. Are you still thinking $180 to $85?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No, it made the most extreme move possible. I'll be out today because I expect it could fall back to $150 to $160.

      The only other target really I have is $228. I think this is likely to hit next week after a pullback. I calculated $228 from a measured move with 2011. That time it ran 700%.

      To be conservative I figured $228, which is a 600% move from $38.

  84. I’m disappointed I missed the big run up in TVIX, I’m also super thankful that I’ve been sitting in cash and I haven’t lost a dime.
