XIV - Support and Resistance Levels

XIV failed exactly at the double fork resistance and plunged to test support. 

Orange support was tested yesterday and has resulted in a bounce.  However, now XIV is approaching the pink resistance.   

Price could undercut the orange support somewhat, and the pink support is also located underneath.  A melt-up is likely to result later in the month.

  1. XIV bouncing up from the $27 orange support. It's currently testing resistance in the $29 to $30 range.

    Stronger support $25 to $26.

    1. Definitely a nice pop. It's a little early to tell, but let's see how things develop.

  3. SC, do you think this support of $25/$26 is tested today or sometime later in the next week or so?

    1. We'll see. I'm not sure it'll get that low, but too early to say it's bottomed either.

  4. Are you looking at bounce then drop to $26 or on the way to $34 now?

    1. Huge bounce so far, I think cool off into the $28's next, and then we'll see.

    2. This is going up way too fast, would you be interested in UVXY here?

    3. I mean add some at this level

    4. Probably best to just focus on XIV.

  10. UVXY came down into the zone I was looking for.24.97 as of now. I will be buying 3 batches in this area. Willing to hold into next week. Good luck to all.

  11. Today will be the 4th 1% move (up or down) for the $SPX in December. The past three years there were 5, 3, and 4 one percent moves. $SPY

    ReplyDelete
  12. A cool off in XIV would fit with what appears to be a symmetrical triangle forming on the SPX which would also fit with your bigger move later this month as the SPX breaks out of the triangle.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Just regards to gold. The COT is the most bullish I have ever seen in particulalry in regard to large specs.. Certainly commercials could add very quickly to shorts on any rise but given historical data this could be a major bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oil is repricing, market just can't handle it. Down down....and more down coming. Something is very wrong, especially for December. Nervous. Although energy only 7% of S&P index, oil is saying global growth is extremely bad...zero demand. Dangerous market.

    2. XIV could test $31's at the turquoise resistance this week. Ultimately this month upside target is $34 to $35 around the end of December.

  16. Was looking for a small pullback, and we've seen that this morning.

  19. Take a look at the 50dma for SPX. Sharply rising and the golden cross is imminent this month. Very positive short term.

    1. I think XIV sees $31 soon. It could cool somewhat from that level, but I plan to simply hold for a higher target of $35.

  24. Waiting to buy my 3rd batch. I always buy in 3 batches for safety. If we go down to last weeks lows, I will buy my 3rd batch. I am concerned for approx Dec 17 give or take a day for some kind of temporary low before blasting off to slay the perma bears.

  25. $SPX now 23 days without back-to-back up days. One of longest streaks in history. $SPY

  26. Dates I am watching this month for SPX Cycle:

    Tomorrow high Dec 8th, low Dec 14th, and high Dec 30th.

    Often these dates are accurate to the day. Other times off by a few days, but they've been pretty decent.

    1. My take is that up until Dec 14 can see some chop, but it may only be minor. After the 14th, I think the market will perform much stronger....

    2. Thanks SC, I was trying to be to fancy this morning. Did not get my third batch. I will use that for swing trading. Good luck every one.

  27. Do you have any updates on silver?

  28. nothing matters but oil now. oil is the proxy for everything. whatever oil does, the market will follow. this is a stock market of new paradigms....and technicals are not necessarily relevant, nor are historical norms/patterns/cycles. we are going down into dec 16 meeting...another week at least.

  30. This worries me. The DAX having decisively broken the wedge pattern after filling the gap from August, on the last trading day in November, is currently down 160 odd points.
    It has attempted a back test of the 200 day and the wedge break yesterday and failed before even getting there. The DAX and Europe look very very ominous technically with even worse looking bearish patterns longer term.

    If Europe and Asia go......the US will follow. Of that you can be certain. The ASX and FTSE look the weakest of all global indices at present due to the commodity factor.
    Deflation appears to be really taking hold amd suggest that things could get very ugly very rapidly.

    1. Good morning Beetlejuice. I would have to respectively disagree with you on that, US follows Europe and Asia. It is the other way around for the past year. All the best to you

    2. Michael, no problem. You can disagree with me all you like but the fact is that the DAX and more notably, the ASX AllOrd has been leading for a substantial time.
      Don't believe me?.......check the charts.

    1. I would agree with you Louis. I sense some kind of shallow V shape bottom mid month, than blast off to the up side to put the PERMA BEARS out of their misery. I fully agree with SC, it will be bouncy here for a while. Great time to swing trade in and out if you are nimble.

  40. Big spike in equity put/call ratio yesterday. Previous six times were close to lows for $SPY.

    If you remember from a previous post, how I talked about how we have not had back to back green days in the markets for 23 days straight. So based on that cycle, I will be selling out 2/3 of my XIV some time today and using it to swing trade and get back into XIV at lower prices. Good luck every one

  50. No offence but some of talking of shooting higher and golden crosses is ignoring the global situation.
    All global indices have broken down from long term patterns including the US. Yes we may get a bounce soon but this is the beginning of a bear market.

    Markets down will = gold higher.

  51. Currently we are in a down cycle until Dec 14th, and tracking the cycle quite well. Not much time left for the bears...

  56. I was out all day. Tried using my IPAD to remind every one of that non 2 day up sequence. I posted the other day. IPAD does not work on this blog for some reason. I have been trading in and out to bring my average cost down with XIV. Theoretically with this sequence, we may retest the lows with XIV Friday due today being a one day up. We need to get thru this rough part of the month before we take off in the markets. Good luck every one.

  68. Say goodbye to any rate rise. Crude collapsing, corporate default risk rising exponentially and European and EM's in very precarious price levels puts paid to that. No way the Fed werer ever going to rain on Santas parade anyway
