Looks like VOMMA will close

    Posted by timebandit on 10th of Mar 2021 at 03:35 pm

    Looks like VOMMA will close above 110, unless something crazy happens in the last half hour. It's 115.48 right now. Don't know what to make of this. The market has been building energy while coiling most of the day. While I typed this it has sold off some, but nothing extreme. We'll have to see what happens overnight, I guess. I'm mainly confused, my normal state of affairs.

    Ok.  Let's see. VOMMA went

    Ok.  Let's see. VOMMA went under and came back up again (Last 2 times in the last few weeks, this has been a ringer for a massive sell off mostly in the QQQs and S&P).  Tons of money still flowing into cyclicals (Financials, Materials, Oil and Energy - witness DOW new highs every day incl now), something has to pay for all that...  Plus looking at Steve's last SnP chart, wedge could still fail.  I'm betting we get another big dump of the QQQs.

    Today's candle is pretty ugly

    Today's candle is pretty ugly for the QQQs. Gapped up and tagged the 20/50 MAs, which are crossing in the bad way.  QQQs ended the day below the 9, 20, and 50. The SPY candle ain't so hot either, with a long legged doji marking indecision. Although SPY is above the 9 and 20 MAs, which are crossing in the good way. Perhaps SPY is a little extended from the 9 ema and needs to pull back a bit? We shall see. I went short the QQQs in the early afternoon and then watched them meander back and forth across my buy in price for the rest of the day. I'm showing a profit now, but the night monkeys can make short work of that.

    Yeah, that didn't work. Should

    Yeah, that didn't work. Should have followed Matt's advice a few days ago. The way markets gap up these days, long at the close is the trade.

    VVIX signal can be early,

    VVIX signal can be early, not defined by time. I think SPX just hit top of wedge matt showed (15 min SPX) .  based on ES

    Agreed.  Still a valid possibility

    Agreed.  Still a valid possibility that the QQQs on the monthly want to test their 200 DMA down around 290-288.   Looks like ECB announced it wants to hold down rates via bond buying and the fed may follow suit trying to hold the 10 yr down but so far they have not committed to that and ultimately with oil continuing up it will be difficult to stop.  I hope we get a massive rally in the QQQs today to add to my SQQQ 4/1 puts.  i've been following the market and rotating into Oil names, WFC (See my comments where I saw 42 by next week),  also holding GLD, RIOT, BA,URA and DBC.   As Matt stated last night, I agree that Oil could easily see $100 this year which means that all the oil names will make new 52 weeks highs - looks to be the best play over the next few months.

    yes regarding the VVIX, also

    yes regarding the VVIX, also lately it hasn't been recycling back below 110 in short amounts of time, so I'm not sure how it behaves when it does that. 

    the indexes assuming their in a 5th wave, would have higher to go first. The really bullish case would be a wave 3 here instead. 

    the VVIX is something to be aware of and monitor but get your triggers from price action

    Also if one of you wants a little project - take a VVIX chart and go back 5 and 10 years and compile all the signals in Google Sheet doc, so that we can start to look at past statistics, that's really the one way to fully investigate how well something works and have confidence in it

    Maybe this time the VOMMA

    Maybe this time the VOMMA over 110 indicator is similar to last August 27th 2020 where there was a price increase, then a spike up, then a sizeable reversal in the market.  Took about 4 days.        Just a thought.
