Posted by frtaylor on 20th of Jan 2026 at 01:47 pm

AMZN looking weak. It just made a new daily low, with no divergence on intraday frames. There's a gap between the close of Jan 2 (226.50) and the open of Jan 3 (228.84). Might well fill it in the next few days.  I bought a Feb put as a hedge against my long position.

Gap partially filled.

At the 38.2% Fib I think of the recent move up. if this breaks (which it may do as he is about to speak at the WH), then 67 is the next stop. Then again, he might surprise the world by saying something nice. Let's see.  I am not the best at Fibs etc so what i have done may be completely wrong in the chart!

$VVIX:$VIX ratio UPRO 78min - Chart Link the 78 min is below the lower BB's now, the daily and half day are not yet, remember you get a trigger off the candle price to prevent being too early, no trigger here yet

To clarify, what's the trigger

Posted by rojoch on 20th of Jan 2026 at 01:12 pm

To clarify, what's the trigger you're looking for?  A candle back inside the BB?  Fully inside?  Closes inside?  Does up/down matter?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I stated in the post

Posted by matt on 20th of Jan 2026 at 01:22 pm

I stated in the post - look at the most recent UPRO candle -price would need to take back just over 50% of that candle, that's why there's a horizontal line in that candle.

assuming this doesn't trigger, if the next candle is a doji, that would be more ideal for a tigher trigger, or another solid candle one could use 50% of the candle range. Then start looking at daily, etc

$VVIX:$VIX ratio UPRO 78min - Chart Linkone more comment, at the moment one could use 50% of this current candle's range as a long trigger on UPRO, with then an immediate stop place at the candle low. Obviously I prefer a doji candle but still setup for  now on this bar

I hate all this news driven drama BS market overhang 

$VVIX:$VIX ratio UPRO 78min - Chart Linkthis obviously never triggered on the previous candle, so trigger shifts down to 50% range of last candle

however that said you have an open gap not much more below that's likely a magnet

Posted by matt on 20th of Jan 2026 at 12:47 pm

like I said, you want to see a trigger off UPRO candle on the 78 min, which I don't see one yet, but something to monitor now, and also monitor the 1/2 day and  daily

Even a $100 US Dollar bill fiat currency at least you can hold it in your hand, still use it if the power grid was down -  what good  is your bitcoin if the Grid is down. Obviously we'd have larger problems but still a good point.

Compare SPX vs XLP:SPX ratio 3 - Chart Linkas commented on weekend, there was already a divergence in this with the SPX but last week the ratio nosedived, so that made for a big warning, down again today

y XLP - Chart Linkflagging up here near the highs, the reason the ratio trends to work is because XLP tends to be more of a defensive sector
