$VIX - Perfect Storm!

VIX was up in August and is now up again in September on Monthly chart.  Two months in a row!

The perfect storm is brewing and it is coming this month.  SPX has failed at 3,350 and the 50 dma has crumbled.

Hurricanes and wildfires are ravaging both coasts with another hurricane due next week.  Conditions are ripe for volatility.

  1. Give it 3 to 4 weeks you will see VIX around 50.

  2. You know the old saying: Don't let a good crisis go to waste.

    That applies doubly going into an Election. Especially this Election!

  6. The VIX will spike, but the bulk of it will occur later as SPX is already near the bottom.

  8. Bradley turn date Hi is September 22nd the lowest 25th of September UV XY doesn't turn me on at all we are down 250 spx points and goes nowhere so what if we drop 100 more it might go up 2 bucks

  9. We'll see about UVXY prices. It is so early UVXY may still have downside. Until we can confirm a low in UVXY it is early to calculate upside target.

    So we'll see. I'm thinking it may make sense to take some profits next week during the hurricane week.

  10. That's why UVXY isn't doing much yet. Because the bottom for SPX is far away...

  11. It's true though and your points are all valid guys. We can see clearly UVXY is not the best vehicle early in the selloff, but it makes up ground rapidly later.

    1. The best would have been September 3rd but soon..

  14. SC, if you sold UVXY next week, is it due to the way it is currently acting (like you explained) or because you think the market is going to head up some? Or both?

    1. It's just a matter of getting the best entry for UVXY. We see that UVXY has been coming down with SPX. A bounce in SPX and imagine how fast UVXY comes down.

    2. Which would then present the perfect entry.

  15. so if vix goes from 27 to 50 then uvxy should go to 80 from 20

    1. No because VIX has been moving higher in legs this time rather than in March straight up.

  16. "$VXX Buyer purchased over 6,600 10/2 48 calls towards the close on Friday, a 90K bet that VOL will be way up soon."
