$VIX - Support Soon

VIX nears the middle support, and is anticipated to reach that level soon.

Once the middle support is tested a rise in volatility is expected.  TVIX, UVXY, and VXX are consolidating currently.

2 Day Chart

















UVXY has been in a declining channel for several years, and is likely to transition into a rising trend.

  1. I've been trading TVIX for $20 to $40 a pop.

    It may cool a little to around $260. Overall rising towards $500.

  2. SC - do you think SPX and commodities like oil/silver are going to bottom together around first week of May?

    1. It looks like a high late April low in May.

  3. Hey my friend,

    Could you clarify your long-term view on oil and silver?

    You think that they are in a multi-year downtrend, with silver bottoming at 7$ and oil at $10?

    Silver or oil should bottom first?

    1. The commodity bear market has a lot to do with the current state of markets.

      Oil topped in 2008. 12 year bear market.

      Silver topped in 2011. 9 year bear.

      Oil probably bottoms first. This year. Silver in a few years.

    2. We were looking for $18 oil. It bounced around $19.

      It can go much lower this year. $12 to $15. Possibly sub $10.

      Oil is being propped up currently as USA fills the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Once the reservoir is filled the price will plummet.

    4. What about nat gas? It peaked even before oil...

    5. SC - where do you expect silver to be when gold is back to 2k?

    6. Natural gas has been bouncing at this $1.70 level for 10 years and looks to be forming a low. Nat gas doesn't have the demand problem. Oil has a demand problem.

      The issue with gas is there is a glut of supply as a result of a byproduct of oil wells. What will happen is oil wells will be shut in, and supply will drop for nat gas.

    1. Yes, volatility has been leading. VIX hit the high in the 80 range. SPX only reached a low after VIX peaked.

      So VIX may hit a low first then SPX high.

      Delete
  5. VIX coming down. The 50 dma is 38. Low 40's VIX.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Could you envision SPX at 2850 while the VIX reaches your mid target? around 40

    1. It doesn't seem SPX has the strength to do that well yet. Mostly likely VIX low 40, and then VIX bounce and put in a higher lower and at time SPX can hit it's high. A number of weeks.

      Delete
  7. 2860 SPX is 15% gain. Vix down to 39.8 is 15% also.

  9. What do you see for Bitcoin? Long-term uptrend or long-term downtrend? Is a new all-time high possible in the years ahead?

  12. Bitcoin exited at 9,775. Next entry 5,500 target 8,000.

    1. Bitcoin only reached 4,500 in regular hours. 4,000 was only seen in the overnight session.

    2. I'll post the Bitcoin chart with all the targets and timings.

  14. SPX on track for the 2,700 target exactly as expected.

    1. sc: where do you see a good entry point ( price / time) for a short on S&p500? are you waiting a lower low in the next future ?
      many thanks..

    2. Reviewing the levels, I think this will fail rather quickly.

      Delete
  15. SC... do you think spx has put in the low for the year?

    ReplyDelete
  16. any natural cycles are displaced by monetary actions, thus trying to keep guessing on gold and silver is fruitless....the cycles and gold are both up....and going much higher...

    ReplyDelete
  17. This bear market likely to continue lower for SPX.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Because people have been trained over many years to look for quick bottoms they don't recognize this as a lasting bear market.

    1. Be more modest my friend, you have been saying this over the past few years. Bear market could be this year, or next, or next. As you said many times before, "step by step".

      All the best

  19. We do need to have patience and yes one step at a time, but this is quite exciting to see how volatility ETFs behave in a bear market.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Are are looking for a low in TVIX still? Or do you think it is on its way to $500?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Waiting to see. TVIX may see just under the previous low of $2.25 which would be an entry for run to $370.

      Delete
  21. SPX turn date April 14th high.

    ReplyDelete
  22. So far volatility ETFs are holding strong with higher low even as SPX is making a higher high.

    SPX could go flat and that would drive volatility lower.

    1. SVXY made such a massive drop, it will need time before it is in a position to rise.

    2. I'll wait until next week. TVIX can still come down a little, but very impressive strength.

      Delete
  25. VIX expiration next Wed. Likely nothing major before Wed AM at earliest.

  26. SC, next high around the 14th, next low around May 12th sound about right?

  27. SC has spx has two gaps below. Will they be filled or 2600 to 2800 it will oscilliate

  28. Sc this weekend lot of technicians saying low is i . 3076 brea . We go to 3400. There are two gaps around 2600 and 2300. Do u still see lower low. When

    ReplyDelete

    1. Louis I believe it is poorly phrased grammar. Maybe Rose is saying 'low is in. 3076 breaks. We go to 3400. She thinks the direction is up but has a worry about gaps at 2600 and 2300 that appear to be causing her angst.

      Delete
  29. Low in . They say. If we break upside 3076 than to 3400. Tfnn interview by chapman on thursday at 8.30 am. He called the low on march 21. 2 days earlier

  35. We also have the VIX futures expiry tomorrow. The previous expiration was March 18th which was the peak of the panic. TVIX made a high on that date.

  36. This expiration looking likely to coincide with a volatility low.
