Matt, The divergence is clear, can you draw any conclusions from this maybe with historical perspective?   I did put in more time than I thought to download the data (goes back to 2007 someone back calculated the Vix of the Vix, aka VVIX).   Spreadsheet is here for any intrepid analyst to add the SPX on the second left side axis, and zoom in to tighter timeframes.    The recent sharp move up in the VVIX / VIX ratio does not look unprecedented.    I did some offset averages and didn't really see anything compelling.

I think it depends a lot on the dollar, which has fallen 61 to 50% Fib of its last rise depending on what you are looking at...if there is more downside to the dollar, equities should have a tail wind up.   But if the USD  drop is over, all issues will be challenged

I hear BOA is a real POS place to work, wokesters

friends don't let friends trade UNG 

lol or GDX

wait for a backtest?  or just pull the trigger long

the VIX line in the sand going back 2.5 years

So in the last few years, VIX is about as low as it ever gets, I would like to buy VIX long and look for a double or more.   Per a Cambridge advisors, they don't have any vehicles that closely follow VIX, and I hate paying premium for options, I have enough cash to use their is no need to buy premium.

So anyone got any secret ETFs that follow vix?

wedges galore

Any thoughts on ACMR, holding as a long, but I don't see anything compelling, except the tailwind created by the USD weakening.

I was just thinking about closing out my WMT short yesterday, as it appeared to be breaking out of its channel to the upside.    Earnings this 6AM, missed by a penny and then plummeted.   So question is for those with experience....seems like an extreme reaction, strategies would be to just close out the trade and be ready to reshort on further weakness....or set a stop and then the question is WHERE.

coin followed that pretty much too

Steve, sometimes those things are Leading Diagonals that continue up....sometimes bear wedges that break down.    Can you discuss identification or at least exclusion

Thanks!

Wow, these things are wild.   Have no idea how to interpret them......this is on Amazon

I see, but if I follow your links, then I can see the intraday....obviously.   Do they have to be a recent link...as I was following a BPT link from yesterday and couldn't get to the intraday with the wedge drawn in.

MUX back tested the down channel and then exploded up, still not up to my long purchase at 8.26, I held this too long in the down channel....distracted by "life", but at least a nice recovery so far.   Always a tough call to trail a stop up.....when its so overbought....how close to trail

Looks like after a month of shenanigans, the USD may throwing the towel, benefiting most stocks and bitcoin stuff (any got stats on the correlation?)

held COIN even through that "fake break" of the lower trend line at 70, now approaching 100

Mahalo!

Now in a short position at 215.00 after taking a loss on the long from within the pattern yesterday....uncomfortable trade.   on TSLA
