VIX CBOE Volatility Index

UK Warning Sirens to Global Financial MarketsUK is a warning signal for everyone. This is what happens when central banks attempt to pivot in the current inflationary environment. The Global Lehman event accelerated after the September U.S. CPI, but was paused by BOE temporary intervention. Next U.S. CPI follows the end of BOE intervention. A Lehman crash now equals approx -60% in GDOW/SPX. The softer each step is down, and no sign of capitulation, the worst final low will be. Will the US be a safe-haven from a global financial crisis? If you believe central bankers can unring the bells, now is the time to go ALL-IN.

Bounce Time? 12th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ US indices returns were wide spread. With DJIA finishing flat and Nasdaq continuing to fall. Large intra-day gains were unable to hold up. S&P500 hit a new low but the daily close held above the previous yearly low set on 30th Sept that can be considered as temporary support. VIX may also be peaking. There is a potential for a good sized bounce. CPI/Inflation data out Thursday should define where markets are headed in the very short-term. ➤ I locked in some profits by cutting positions in SPX500 and DJ30. My short exposure is -40%, composed of NASDAX and STOXX50. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Price action Wednesday/today prior to CPI data release is crucial for my next move. I'm leaning towards a bounce and may turn bullish.

SPX500 is trying to find a bottomIn my opinion the market is trying to find a bottom. How far it will go down, Im not sure, but anything lower that 3450-ish, will take market to very oversold territory. Everyone is waiting for Thursday’s CPI, depending on the result this can go either way: 1. Inflation is rising - this means FED will be rise rates by 0.75 in November, strong move downside, but then it to go to oversold territory and we might stay there few days before slow recovery starts. I dont believe the earning season takes market above 4000. More realisticaly 3900-3950. 2. Inflation is going down- rising rates start to do the job, FED might slow down next month but we’re not out of the woods yet. Economies already slowed down, we might see recovery on the markets and USD to cool off a little. The only difference between 1 and 2 is when we start the recovery- this or next week. If you look at the VIX, it is pretty high, over 30. On a brick of being overbought. That makes me believe we can see some green candles in the next few weeks but after that I expect very red November. I can be wrong, the markets are unpredictable so dont treat it as trading advice. Im not a professional trader but I’ve been following indices closely in the last few months. Always do your own analisys

💤 No Hibernation...11th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ...for the Bears as equity prices continue to fall in an orderly manner. The NASDAQ closing on a fresh new low, S&P500 not far behind. That being said, we did see prices reverse aggressively when the S&P500 made a new daily closing low on 30th Sep, so there's that possibility once again. ➤ Across in Europe, the indices couldn't hold large gains after gapping down lower. I added a small short position in STOXX50 as prices may play catch-up and go back to test the yearly low. ➤ I increased my short exposure to -80%. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Prices look to continue their march lower. The worrying sign is that it is very orderly and shows no capitulation. That's when a more permanent bottom is usually found.

Edge of a Precipice Will we ever see VIX at 16 again? Here I explain the mean reverting nature of VIX. Then I predicted exactly were VIX and JHEQX would be on Friday, October 7th. Now we're sitting at the edge of a precipice of the worst financial disaster in history. So I wrote an indicator to give us retail traders an inside eye so maybe we could catch a long vol opportunity of a lifetime. If you understand how a large institution positions assets and how they hedge against a market correction you can a) find these hedges and b) use dealer positioning to predict it. That brings us back to VIX. Vix is calculated using SPX Weekly options rather than stocks. If Vix sustains higher levels for longer it is telling us liquidity is bad. As more institutional players position to the downside eventually there will be too much money on the same side of the boat and the boat will flip. Think of market participants as people on a boat and the waves are volatility. As the seas get more violent (swings up and down in market price) people on the boat are going to try to find a position best suited for the volatility. Ask yourself now, is buying puts a good way to hedge downside? No. Fixed strike implied volatility is a disaster. It has been collapsing for nearly the entire year. Institutions protecting assets (like British pension fund managers apparently) with puts are getting worse and worse returns hedging with puts. You may be able to pick off edge as an active trader by buying well timed Puts and cashing in on premium kick for a quick 100% return, but these fund managers holding puts are getting destroyed. Instead, institutions are piling into selling puts while shorting stocks. We all know what happens when too many shorts pile in, they frequently get squeezed. I was expecting short squeezes to take hold when Oil started climbing. Because the alternative is JHEQX leaning negative into an already crowded short side and a VIX > 32. And that is exactly what nearly happened on Friday. If futures drop overnight or price drops below 3580 JHEQX will start selling and the only thing stopping a drop to 3200 will be the FED with its left tail tucked between their legs with some fresh QE. As a great philosopher once said. "Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here"

VIX - Stocks Sentiment in preparation... for the ultimate drop. So we have broken the top curve - that is bad as hell already in itself. Additionally we retested it and have been trapped since then between the top descending trendline and the curve. What I expect to happen next is for VIX to consolidate ( or break to the upside and retest the trendline ) until EOY. Check my US100 idea to see what stocks predict in the meantime. As a reminder - VIX has never shown such sentiment "moves" as we have nowadays - but just once in the past - And that one time has been replayed perfectly so far - that's one of the reasons why I expect VIX to consolidate or even show slight signs of minor-relief for stocks until Christmas season. Cheers!

🕺 Dancing Around Support, 8th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Equities took a dive towards the lower support level. Note that this support level has already been violated by a daily close to set a yearly low on 30th Sep. This makes it less reliable as a line of defence. Still, price did bounce off that level prior to end Friday trade. ➤ The momentum is with the Bears but we should tread carefully around these levels. Price could just as easily reverse course if there is hesitation to push lower. ➤ The European indices did not give me an additional short signal (as yet). They have bounced harder off the bottom than US indices and have held those gains much better. ➤ I reduced my exposure to -60% to take some profit prior to the weekend. Politicians/Govt Officials tend to do their best work on the weekend. Prices can gap either way if something happens. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Prices are dancing around support. A small solo dance to celebrate my wins but I'm in no mood to Tango.
