XIV - Ready to Breakout - Inverse Head and Shoulders!

XIV has been flirting with a breakout of a large inverse head and shoulders pattern.  Very bullish situation with the red neckline sloped upwards, and forks pointing much higher.

XIV is testing multiple strong supports, and has room for significant upside into the US elections.  The November target is shown.

Daily Chart

















No sign of a bottom yet for UVXY.  Tremendous downside ahead.

  1. VIX has met it's target, down it goes. Back to 11 or 12.

    "VIX cooled off to 12 as expected, ready to spike to 17 next week."

    1. Up or down. My trend lines say it wants to test 2100

    2. 2100 would be down, but now we have spoiled the SURPRISE... :(

  4. Bigger rally tomorrow...still just guessing...but absolutely not shorting...

  5. "No sign of a bottom yet for UVXY..."

    Never any bottom for that one...
    What is the green line on the XIV chart?

  6. Since the USD has given up the 200dma earlier in the year it's yet to hold above it. Once we break out of the triangle (lower is my guess) the market takes off. Most likely after it's announced no interest rate Sept 20-21 http://screencast.com/t/hsUO9uRCDO2

    ReplyDelete
  7. So, 'guess' we're all in agreement now...the 'surprise move' was another rally...as promised! This one should last all day...maybe fade on Friday. Either way, absolutely not shorting...yet.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Friday pullback...go figure...just another lucky guess. But shorting beyond today's close (or maybe into Monday's open) is not recommended...just another guess. After all, the Aunt Yellen show is coming to town...

  13. Hi sc. What is your next week target got Uvxy?

    ReplyDelete
  14. We should see SPX flirt with 2,200 October 6th.

    ReplyDelete
  15. UVXY as shown on the chart next area to watch around $10 October 6th.

    ReplyDelete
  16. XIV up 7 days in a row! Clear breakout of the inverse head and shoulders!!

    Would not be surprising to see a down day soon, but price should drift higher for 2 weeks...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Looking at the SPX 60min chart from last update, do you still see SPX 2220?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, we should test 2,200 soon, and probably spend some time testing between 2,200 and 2,220.

      Delete
    2. Thanks SC! How bearish do you see after Oct 6th? With the low not until the 28th, bears have about 3 weeks, and last time they dropped from 2188 to 2119 in 3 days.

      Delete
    3. I'm not expecting much of a dip in October. Three weeks of consolidation in October with further upside to come.

  20. 2095? Just a guess, but we're likely to have another 'surprise' rally starting on Tuesday...maybe lasting into early Oct...just a guess.

    1. Gold and silver are the best shorts of any market.

      However, I may wait until November for optimal short entry.

    1. Next high due October 6th. Everything on track.

  24. A higher low, so the rally is still good to go! Just a guess...but it is end of month and quarter. The final high is likely due next week...and likely before the monthly job report is released. Just another guess...

  25. WHAT--another 'surprise' rally?!?!
    Who knew...after all, everyone is just guessing...maybe some are just better guessers than others...or maybe it's just beginner's luck...once again.

  26. SC, are you looking to take profits on XIV Oct. 6th or wait until Nov?

    1. I'll be looking to take profit around Oct 6th. May look at shorting around that time.

  28. On the positive side, 2035-2070 is the floor for remainder of year -- with a year close above S&P 2040-50.

    Not likely to go beyond 2070-ish for now though...just a guess.

    1. Yes, SPX is grinding higher. It'll be choppy this month as it rises to test 2,000 to 2,020.

  33. XIV continues to perform strongly. Chart coming with longer term target. Very impressive upside!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hi SC
    You mentioned today as a high/turn date is that still the case or are you still waiting for a higher SPX.

    Thanks again

    ReplyDelete
  35. As guessed, didn't go beyond 2170-ish (lucky guessing...poor typing). Today should end on a solid low...maybe Friday too...but that's just another guess...with a little help from SC's turn dates, and Jay's JayWiz majik...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Are you still shorting the markets on Oct.6?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm still waiting for higher levels. The market is slowly grinding up. A high is due soon, but unlikely much downside this month. Overall it still looks positive.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Right now XIV is trading at the orange support. Tomorrow may be interesting. Let's see if it pops.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well...at least as of lunchtime (1200 EST, USA), things are looking solidly down...and SP500 never passed 2170-ish...as previously guessed. One can only guess what next week has in store. Maybe SC will share the next anticipated turn date...or maybe Jay's JayWiz site has some guesses...

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hi SC, looks like a reversal here to the downside. What levels do you see on SPX and XIV on the downside? thx

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. High was due Oct 6th, and so it comes as no surprise that we have now seen some weakness. Low is due right at the end of October.

      However, I see this as a sideways consolidation with the overall Cycle positive into November.

      For XIV $34 to $36 is strong support. For SPX we are basically retesting the September low with further upside to come first half of November.

      SCSeptember 29, 2016 at 11:50 AM

    2. Weren't you looking for 2200 SPX?

    3. The market has been sluggish for sure. Expect a bounce here with a low due end of October. Not much room for downside.

      November does look positive so yes 2200 looks doable.

    1. I'm looking for a bounce in gold to short. I wouldn't be long because the cycle shows a large move down is about to commence.

      So I'll wait and look for a spot to short.

      Delete
  44. The market has confirmed that it is consolidating sideways.

    There is potential for a large spike up here. It'll either happen now, or if the consolidation continues through Oct then first half November.

    ReplyDelete
  45. S&P 2070 is a nice target, 200dma and 61 retrace of June move up. Like election year 2012 playbook.

  47. SC, do you still see SPX 2260 possible by Nov 11? After that do you see a big drop next or just consolidation in range again? Thanks!

    1. I don't think it'll make it that high, but a test of around 2,200 is to be expected. After that, yes, large drop.

  48. Decided to play it safe. I have a low for SPX due this Friday Oct 28 or Monday Oct 31.

    I doubt it'll come down much. Some cooling is possible this week though. First half November looks more positive than this week.

    1. A high was due early October. The low for SPX was due end of October. It was quite accurate although it did drift lower for a few more days after the end of the month of October.

      A high is due today November 11th. However, let's wait and see. Possibly the high could come in a little late.

      Delete
  69. We are seeing a massive spike up particularly for the Dow. It seems the market can move higher short term, but we should be approaching a high soon.

  72. The DOW already made a new ATH, will the S&P500 and Nasdaq follow soon? http://tripstrading.com/2016/11/11/good-bad-ugly/

    This week, a major cycle date is scheduled (35, 70, 140 and 280 day cycle)...so in my view a Higher Low is expected to continue wave E of a larger weekly wedge ABCDE up, just like in 2015. And then for end of year till mid JAN, the start of a larger crash is expected.

    Keep in mind, the REAL BUBBLE isn't stocks...it's bonds...an outflow of bonds will lead to an inflow in private assets (equities and precious metals)...http://tripstrading.com/2016/10/30/the-real-bubble/

    ReplyDelete
  73. As long as the S&P500 is able to trade > 2085, I will stay Bullish for the next 70 day cycle into mid JAN 2017.

    Summarized:

    Buy the Dips > 2085

    Add Longs if Break > 2182/94…Target 2210+

    Overweight Shorts < 2085

    Overweight Shorts 2230-75 area….mid JAN.

  85. Based on my Cycle, EW and Pattern Analysis, NOV 26-28 should be a short term High, after which DEC will likely show a zigzag (2150-80-2210-2240) pattern, just as in JUN 2016. JAN 2017 looks about right to overweight short positions for a larger ABC correction.

  86. Short term, as in days, I think we'll get a retest of 2150-80, but into end of DEC, the bias should be to buy the dips. JAN is a different story though...
