One of the big market events today is the explosion in price of AMEX:VXX which according to the issuer Barclays has nothing to do with Ukraine or market events. I think it is tangentially related in some way to the market conditions but what does this actually mean for the near future of volatility? I look at TVC:VIX as a measure of the "fear index" of the...
The pricing of the VIX futures tracking ETN VXX no longer reflects reality. Barclays has halted new issuance of both the VXX and OIL ETNs. Existing shares of VXX are being bid up far beyond the movement in the underlying futures market. As I mentioned in a previous post, (linked below), I believe the VIX is setting up for a breakout to the upside. I...
Watch for the pop! If you haven't been in by now you probably live under a rock. It can go higher than $38 and might even blast through it.
Same highs, higher lows, stock maybe boom. Won't let me publish unless I say more, uhh, it's broken the huge resistence line that acted like a brick wall for the past 2 years.
In my opinion, buying a VXX weekly call option is an amazing way to hedge your crypto portfolio against the market volatility resulting from geopolitical and macroeconomic concerns. Unless you live under a rock, you've reeceived incessant push notifications regarding the Russia/Ukraine geopolitical conflict and the inflation-driven macroeconomic concerns....
Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought I entered this position as I believe that we are currently in a sideways bearish situation. The markets took huge dips since late Nov to Jan and while it has recovered some of that loss. The S&P and especially the NASDAQ show that at least for now, the constant bold bullish days are narrowing Even though I am taking a sideways...
Nothing has changed in this cycle...except that drawdowns have been very steep in individual names. Doesn't mean we will see bearishness in months to come...there will be big rallies...enough to strangle shorts and dump to kill longs. Best idea is to trade lighter and not to be greedy.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! moar vix more chicks Time for massive fear? or biggest short opportunity
Started with monthly VXX Strangle 2 strikes wide. As volatility kicked in, sold off the profitable trade (a put) and then used the rest of the time to allow the bearish sentiment to kick in. the problem was a lot of times the option would be reach ITM (In-The-Money), but I would hedge by tightening up the strangle by adding another put once the direction changed....
It's 1120am MST on 2/28, and I am expecting a further market decline. I already have a VXX call option in play right now and am expecting this position will end up in the money. It seems Russia/Ukraine war is starting to heat up despite the meeting between the two countries today. From a technical analysis perspective, there is another inverse head and...
Up against the trendline resistance that has acted like a wall going back to March 2021. Break on either side should mark a key direction change in the market. If it can't move above 24.31 soon, growth stocks and indices will rally (atleast for a short time) Takeaway: look for bearish signal on 4H before flipping side. Trend break shou ld present great...
-VXX is dropping in the short-term window, this week SPY might have some bullish movement on it. -As we get closer to next month, probably we will see some more blood, so VXX definitely has only 1 week to drop.
This is for going long UVXY or VXX. I am fine-tuning on systematic approach to trading long volatility. I have back tested the rules below with great results! Please comment and share your thoughts. I traded this several times recently and have done well with it. It is fade-it or half-life approach; decaying position or reverse pyramid, since the underlying...
Notice how technical setup precedes any news? VXX pulled back into the trendline resistance yesterday with negative divergence on the 30Min TF. Next couple of days will be important to decide if we go way down or way up. Either is fine by me, but patience is needed to see the picture clearly before going too deep. Plan today: reduce size of the shorts or cut...
The VXX is the VIX ETF and tracking it gives an idea of the VIX from a unique perspective. In the weekly chart, for most of 2021, there was a building MACD bullish divergence. Given the higher low and the rather full bullish candle on Friday, any continuation of this rally aligns price to the indicator. Inadvertently, the would be downside volatility in the...
The SPX & VXX both bounced from the .5 Fibonacci extension and retractement on daily time frames. Monday will be interesting with the Ukraine situations + Emergency FED Meeting results. I can see it going both ways unfortunately but the trend says we find a lower low. My gut tells me a no deal no info meeting through the weekend on Ukraine, and more accommodations...
VXX long candle sold off as moon star candle is sign of strong sell and end bullish signal as Russia Ukraine tensions will reach diplomatic solution this weekend which will reach new support new support level to $15.65
