I have been expecting a big rally since last Friday. I think 2600-2700 area would be tops before a retest of the low.

I unloaded some of my long positions today and will hold on to the rest through tomorrow or Friday. Hope it doesn’t bite me in the @ss

It was crushed the previous two. So not reading too much into it. Volatility is measured up and down FWIW.

Run up to 2700ish then washout down to 2050 area...that will be the bottom

This is how I am going to play it for now...

Lots of people will get burned buying on that run up.

Just my opinion. Really who the F knows right now haha


I stated this is another one of your threads. I still think this plays out. I will start buying SPY puts around 2650-2700

I think it means the market is confused about what comes next.

Don’t have enough confidence to actually short the market at that level, given the Fed going all in on backstopping the market.

But I think there is a good chance that will work out for you. I just don’t have the stomach for more risk at the moment haha.

Concern that the IV of SPX calls is sky rocketing causing the VIX to rise? You know volatility of SPX is calculated using both call and put IV right?

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it have to include both to determine a future bias?

Nope. They are getting ready to shoot the VIX in the head. Right shoulder of huge head and shoulders pattern finished today.

The Vix measures the basic instincts of mankind, Fear and Greed, which is what volatility is about. Even tho the markets are rallying doesn't mean the Fear has gone away. There will always be divergences for short periods of time. The overall near term trend of the Vix is lower and should continue to trend lower. It tells me that Fear is still out there but slowly abating. Be patient, the inverse relationships will win out. Good fortunes to you!

Actually closed at 61 down 4.6%....... Tells me markets are still worried to be in the sixties. But, the larger trend is still down. A break below 50 would be the next wave up for markets. Be patient and look for opportunities to add to positions in the next selloff.
