I take it as a sign that the near term direction is not very predictable, but I'm not sure it makes sense to use SPX vehicles to hedge other SPX positions. I would rather try to buy relative strength and short relative weakness.  For instance I took another swing at YANG because China stocks look weak and may face headwinds from the new lockdowns around the country. I did take my first options trade based on BPT signals from the trend/pullback call yesterday, but cashed it in today for a nice 11% gain. Still more inclined to take the long signals than the short ones, but I wish I had acted on the DVDS short more aggressively and promptly a couple of days ago.
