XIV - Important Support - Upside Target!

XIV has cooled to retest major turquoise support.  It'll be choppy, but further upside is likely as it works it's way towards the upper fork resistance. 

Short term, there is some resistance in the $28's, and more in the $30 to $32 range.

The larger, longer term trend remains down!

  1. Why would XIV go to $36 and not simply carry on down to bottom of pink fork $18?

  2. For XIV the turquoise support is dominant, and price has interacted with it going all the way back to last September.

    It accounts for the high in November and low in February.

  3. SC , SPX looking good. Great call even though we could have made more money on the UVxy ( exaggerated run ) looking forward for the next moves. :-)
    Thanks again for your efforts and insights.

  4. I would caution any expectation of a bounce because longer term cycles will negate any significant moves to the upside. Risk is to downside!!!

  5. VIX Cycle update coming...

  6. SC, are you still holding XIV?

    if that were the case UVXY would be below $10

    1. Yes, XIV up 2 days in a row. Yesterday and Tues. It's a "tell" hinting at the coming rally.

      SPX lagged a little but starting to warm up.

  10. With impulse lower forget about higher highs, there is more to the downside. 21.06 will be just the top a of corrective retracement higher than lower to 2000.

  11. Wave b up now, and then down for wave c into end of June. July will be up, up, up...just my personal view. Enjoy the day all!

  12. XIV holding up pretty well last few days. SC, with $36 target for XIV, do you still see cycles negative for July? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

    1. Yes, XIV is looking solid, gradually firming up.

      I think July is going to be mixed. There are some positive and negative spots. So we'll take it one step at a time.

      There is resistance around $30 to $32 for XIV and a few $3 dips off that level would be expected. Once it clears $33 then surge up to $36 very quickly.

    2. what is your time frame for 30 and 36

      Delete
    3. It's going to be a slow grind up. $30 on or around June 30th. $36 late July.

    2. could happen im thinkin 1980 then 2230 into october then down to 1700s

      Delete
  14. Think so too.
    I’m expecting a short term bounce up 2085-2090-2100, JUN 20-23, inside a longer term downtrend, target 2040 and 1995-2010, JUN 27-30. I have some long positions left from last week, 50% stop loss @ 2061 (Cash Index Low of Friday – 1 point), take profit @ 2085 (50%), trailing stop 1%. Other 50%: stop loss 2049 (Low of JUN 16 – 1 point), take profit 2093 (68%), trailing stop 1%. If possible, I will enter/overweight short positions in the 2085-2100 area, stop loss 2120 + 1, 1st target 2040, 2nd target 2010-1995.

  15. Surprise! haha.

    "Imo the lows are in place now. Bounce for a few days, though we may retest this level later this week.

    Overall Cycles are up into the next highs June 21st and June 30th. The surprises will come on the upside."

    1. Nice, what do you see after June 21st and XIV $28?

      Delete
    2. XIV should find some resistance $28 to $29 and dip into the $27's this week, and up to $31 or $32 next week.

      Delete
  16. A short term high is due tomorrow on June 21st. We should see a dip this week, but minor. 15 or 20 points for SPX dip and up to the next high due June 30th.

    There is resistance around 2100, but it is weak resistance. 2110 to 2120 will be stronger resistance, and likely a larger dip off that level.

    ReplyDelete
  17. it is an 8 td top for the s and p the big question is do we trade sideways or fall hard this week there is a possibility that we fall into Wednesday probably a strong rally into the 28th to 29th then down hard into july 5th we will see

  20. Hi SC,
    Do you have a book recommendation for your investing style?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. There are some good ones though I've mostly invested a significant amount of time. Andrews pitchforks are helpful for identifying support/resistance - which works on every time frame. It's a good idea to keep an eye on common moving averages.

      Cycles are the best and simplest way to understand markets in my view. It's important to look at the relationship between time and price rather than just price alone, and Cycles help to do that.

      There are many different styles and many of them do arrive at the same answers.

    1. Yes, SPX high is due today. Should see some weakness this week. SPX should cool first, then higher next week.

  22. SC, are you looking to exit XIV today? Market dropped from 2100 to 2083, was that the 15-20 points drop you looking for and now on the way to 2110-2120? Thanks!

    1. May look to take profit today and reenter in the $27's for the next run towards $32.

      SPX should still cool first, then higher next week.

  28. I wouldn't worry about such things as brexit. There has been crisis after crisis in Europe since 2010, and the market does what it always does, it climbs the wall of worry.

    Cycles are up thus markets are trending higher. There will be wobbles of course.

    Remember when GM went bankrupt. The market rose strongly that day. Y2K etc...

  34. XIV found resistance at the pink line as expected. Seeing some cooling.

  35. SC, XIV dropped to $27s for support as you said, is this the run to $32? Or are you looking to take profits around $29? Thanks!

    1. Time is running out for a dip, and XIV is about to enter a sweet spot in the Cycle. XIV may see some cooling tomorrow, but I'm holding XIV for $31's.

    2. $31's next for XIV then another test of $27 again.

      Delete
    3. The pink line for XIV is at $29.50 today. Could see some minor cooling off that today/tomorrow if tested.

      Delete
  36. Low is due for SPX Cycle tomorrow. Next week looks very positive.

  37. Great call SC
    How can the SPX cycle be on a low tomorow if its heading higher today, unless you just see a small dip , then back right up again..

    Do you think SPX will beat its current high for the year 2132 ?

  40. Support building for XIV around $29. Might see $30, dip to $29 and up to $31.

    ReplyDelete
  41. SPX would likely dip a little on a "positive" brexit vote tomorrow since the Cycle is down tomorrow.

  42. SC, What do you see for gold?

    1. Gold may have a little upside towards $1350, but I have a Cycle update coming and it's not a pretty picture going forward. Looking to short Silver soon, in July.

    1. Well the SPX Cycle low is due tomorrow. Then next high due June 30th.

      What is probable is a mild dip tomorrow. So UVXY not so attractive with Cycle low due and high coming due next week.

      July is going to be volatile though. Charts coming...
