XIV - Channels with Measured Move

XIV melted up once it broke above channel resistance.  Resistance becomes support for the short term anyway. 

Long term channels with a measured move is shown.

  1. XIV may be getting ready to dip to around $58 to test channel support.

  2. I may be interested in entering XIV at the middle channel support for upside potential to the upper channel resistance.

  3. SC - does this negate your previous post looking for a top in SPX now?

    1. No, it still looks bearish next. A drop for XIV to around $56 to $58 should amount to a significant decline for SPX.

      So we are least looking for a sizable pullback in SPX.

      I don't think the bear market will be ready to initiate until XIV tests around $90. The fact XIV is melting up is evidence that complacency is skyrocketing which is evidence of the bear itself.

  4. I'll do an update of this chart to show how the moves are likely to unfold going forward.

  5. The SPX chart posted next will show the topping process in detail.

  6. If it turns now pretty good ballpark top call. Thoughts on SPX level on first sell off?

    1. I've been posting the 2,350 SPX target number since 2015. The target has been reached! It's just an estimate though.

      The red resistance on the SPX chart is sloped upwards, and so there is a room for SPX to grind up a little as the top forms over about 4 months. The top will be characterized by whipsaws. First dip around 2,300 SPX.
