$VIX - Gap Support

Markets are heading into a holiday week.  Typically this means quiet markets.

SPX is very weak, but also trading in a tight range.  VIX has orange rectangle support at 24 and a large gap at 22 which may be tested.

  1. SC - when is the next turn date for SPX?

    ReplyDelete
  2. Are we going lower till June 9th or higher till June 9th ?
    Because your vx chart would suggest going higher on the spx ?

    ReplyDelete
  3. June 9th low.

    There is plenty of time to work with, and confidence it'll be a low.

    However, we have a 3,050 SPX target which has not yet been reached.

    SPX may see the target hit but expect selloff into June 9th.

    1. Let's wait until we see further action on the bottoming formation then we can more accurately calculate the target.

    1. It's a good point. I'm reviewing as well. It may make sense to step aside but the big picture for volatility is looking impressive.

  6. It'll be a "W"... HAHAHA

    "Sure, the U.S. will see a V-shaped recovery, Kudlow said, but the “V” might not look exactly like a V. “You can have your own Vs. There’s Vs. There are lesser Vs,” Kudlow said. “There are combos of Us and Vs.”

    1. The picture is definitely getting bearish. Currently reviewing the charts and it looks very bearish. I'm looking at the numbers and will post targets soon.

    1. Let's see what happens next because VIX can move with very little movement in SPX under certain conditions.

      Delete
  12. And there it is... Notice how SPX gapped over the 3k resistance. Very typical.

  14. This is a big week for markets. Still waiting for NYC though.

    "The Mid-Hudson and Long Island regions are set to open Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, Gov. Cuomo confirmed Sunday"

  15. Also this week. A decision is coming for Huawei executive detained in ankle bracelet. Extradition to the US.

    She has already taken victory photographs. There will be an obscene amount of cursing coming from China.

    ReplyDelete

    1. She's been held at a home about 20 mins drive from me here in Vancouver...

      There is a ton of high profile Chinese here .. my guess is there will be a high profile escape if the court decides to extradite her...

    2. Interesting perspective, thank you. It's going to get ugly...

  16. " The New York Stock Exchange said starting March 23, it will temporarily close its historic trading floor and move fully to electronic trading."

    Exactly when market bottomed.

  29. Sc. People asking for your input. R u waiting for something. Still need vix 22 to 24

    ReplyDelete
  30. So what is more important? Price or timing? You had a price of 3050 sp which got hit, but I thought you had May 20ish as the high? I see June 9 you expect a low. At what price s&p?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Both are important. In this case we had 3,050 target, and price has gone flat at that level.

      So the evidence is increasing that this is a high.

      Delete
    2. So June 9 is a high or low?

  31. SC and Louis, thank you for the heads up, I was able to walk able to walk away with a profit.

    2. I thought June 9th was suppose to be a high for the Vix?

    The Nasdaq Composite is within 1.5% of its 52-week high after a 30% plunge (from a 52-week high). It's done this 4 other times.

    It took 13, 5, 2, and 12 days before it closed at a new high (it never failed). It added at least another 6% over the next 3 months every time.

  42. Sc 3050 overtaken. R u looking for vix 20

    ReplyDelete
  43. Long tvix 126 long uvxy bought more
    30.25

    ReplyDelete
  44. SC, great call on the Vix. I’m getting excited!

    ReplyDelete
  45. This market is so rigged.Boeing up 6% they haven't sold a plane in months and probably won't for years.Todays plan for the ppt is to hammer the vix to keep the market from falling.

    ReplyDelete
  46. So much for tvix being strong.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Time to buy uvxy? Where do you see spx on June 9 low?

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think the asshat that was giving SC a hard time about oil has made SC not comment much anymore... :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Louis...

    There is gaps at around 2300 spx
    Your saying even that one gets filled by July 10th ?

    ReplyDelete
  50. SC, some commentary would be nice. What is going on? On June 3rd you said "TVIX looking strong" but it's not looking very strong now.

    Since the close of June 3rd at $137.69 TVIX has fallen more than 20%. Really? What is going on?

    ReplyDelete
  51. We had a turn date May 21st and then June 9th. When there is such a wide distance between turn dates it leads to a trending move. In this case up.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The SPX and Oil targets have both hit, VIX target of 22 is close but not there quite yet.

    And so we wait...

    ReplyDelete
  53. SC, I’m waiting, but the break of $24 VIX is being very stubborn.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Sc vix 20to 22. Spx will be 3300 . R u expecting top on June 9

    ReplyDelete
  55. So June 9 is a high and/or until vix 22 is hit. Got it. What is the next date for a turn after June 9 and I'm assuming that date would be a low....

    ReplyDelete
  56. Sc is there significance of june 19th. Is is secondary top. This one guy has been saying 3266 June 19th top

    ReplyDelete
  57. So by 4th of July r u expecting new high

    ReplyDelete
  58. Sc r u planning to put spx road map. May be we r bothering u a lot . Well.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'll look at SPX. I can tell you right now I'm looking to be short of Oil.

    In May SPX up 4%. Oil up 500%.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Sc. If oil is short the market short also

    ReplyDelete
  61. SC, SCO looks like a good opportunity.

    ReplyDelete
  62. any other turn dates you see in June after 12th?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Uso or uco will be a monster short
    Real soon I would think

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oil is the most compelling trade. Both short and long. The moves I am looking at are unbelievable...

    ReplyDelete
  65. SPX rallied in REFLEX move. Retail woke up after 10 years. Good! Now we have a real market with all participants.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Sc when are you planning to buy more tvix or your done with it?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Sc r u expecting new highs in spx

    ReplyDelete
  68. Are we still on target to 2375? If so, will it reach it at early July as expected or is pushed to August since June 9 turns out to a high instead of low?

  69. The next big trade has been identified and will be posted with charts and details shortly.

    If you liked the 2,600% TVIX run and 500% Oil move that followed it, you will love the trade coming next.

  70. Great, I am indeed a big fan of big moves ;)

    ReplyDelete
  71. thanks, looking forward to it

    ReplyDelete
  72. Notice VIX and TVIX were up yesterday. That was the "tell" for today's gap down SPX.

    It's coming right on the turn date. The dates continue to be accurate!

    ReplyDelete
  73. So what is turn date. July 4 ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The next turn date is June 12th. Friday.

      So likely to see only a short quick pullback here.

      Delete
    2. We got to get at least 3050 on a move down and then up and then down hard into July that's what I'm thinking

      Delete
    3. Since the dates are accurate I guess the low beyond July 2nd should be a big one
