Almost hit 50% today ... question is, are all those dip
buyers hold for the weekend? Are bag holders will look for a stress
relief and dump into the close ? we shall see ....
extract from the prospectus of an ETF I trade sometimes ...
(HVI.to - Inverse Short Term VIX)
The Underlying Index operates by, on a daily basis, selling VIX
Futures Contracts with a nearby settlement date and purchasing VIX
Futures Contracts which settle on a later date. The roll for each
contract occurs on each business day of the Underlying Index
according to a pre-determined schedule that has the effect of
keeping constant the weighted average maturity of the relevant
futures contracts. This process is known as “rolling” a futures
position. The constant weighted average maturity for the futures
underlying the Underlying Index is one month.
Not an expert in this, but Look at the website of the issuer,
some ETN use the short term VIX as underlying, and they do
aggressive contract rolls ... that alone eats up quite a bit, then
look at the contract currently actives and check the spread
... if they are in contract rolls, this will skew the ETF on
something as volatile as VIX the past few days
We are still VERY early in the week, and in this environment,
things turn on a dime ... but so far, this leave a very interesting
"Hammer looking" candle on the weekly at support ...
really screwed up many charts... when Skynet was in charge
of the open, it created some seriously wicked candles on a
1-2-3 minutes charts ... not counting the ones that didn't trade at
the open. There was some serious G-Force in the
morning!
