SPY daily after the close: The SPY remains on a hold long positions, but in my "OPINION" this is not a time to be all in or chasing this move.

VIX getting ahead of itself?
All vols are down lately, but VXTLT remains elevated compared to VIX. Nothing new really, but watch the gap between the two closely.

LOL..... Let's Party! (Second Chart)

Haven´t seen this since 1999
Nothing new really, but households are the biggest owners as well as the biggest "punters" these days. Everything is great as long as the market continues marching higher. Let´s see how long term the current punters will prove to be should we ever reverse lower...

The VIX puke

VIX has halved since the intra day highs in early December. People have gone from chasing VIX in panic to almost selling VIX in panic lately. VIX isn't dirt cheap yet, but given the many macro narratives coming up, VIX has little downside from here according to us. We have started looking at long vol trade set ups, but ideally we would like to get that call from the VIX guy. Note the "gap" between VIX and VIX over past months.

The S&P Tech sector keeps chopping to new all time highs amid chasmic divergences and high volatility. Powered by MSFT and AAPL.

We haven't seen this much realized vol at an all time high since Feb. '21.

The second highest was Nov. 2007 ATH.

Third highest was Feb. 2020:

Volume Lighter Yet As Upside Momentum Wanes

Put hate is back
Here we are again, people hating puts at market highs. Hedge frustration continues where people load up on puts at local market lows and puke puts at local market highs. Let´s see if this time is different....

SPX - time to chill?
The Santa rally played out this year again. Note the SPX is trading in the upper part of the trend channel that has been in place since September. So far, this is the first doji candle in a long time (indicating indecision). Watching closely for possible reversal clues.

The great volatility divide is back
Yes, bond and equity people are once again starting to price "fear" in different ways. Watch this gap closely. Our most recent equity vol logic has played out well as VIX has come down sharply over past weeks (recall the latest from the VIX guy here). At current levels it is too late to sell volatility and we are soon leaning into the inverse, i.e playing long volatility, especially using long premium strategies for directional plays. More on this later this week.

SPY daily: Day 6 since the low was made..... One should expect some slower action now..... For me, I just go to cash and don't stay long once the upper BB is tagged.

Flat after this run: Buying a small position of VXX for a ST trade.

Buying Panic

Stocks Cross Above Resistance Line
After consolidating below resistance for 2 months, breaking out convincingly above the resistance level can lead to a a trending move. Stops can be moved to the new breakout level.

Front running the January effect
Never forget, January is the monster inflow month. Front running the January effect at these levels in the short term looks slightly late, but don't be surprised if your shorts are killing you lately...

VXF daily: The move up continues..... A nice close above the 200 sma on the daily! The 50 and the 100 sma be up next if VXF can stay above the 200 sma.....

FWIW: Thursday December 23 was the lightest volume full session for 2021. But that record didn't hold for long. Based on the current run rate, today will set a new record.

 

[robo]

Update and correction on my VXF chart: I should have said the 200 sma on the daily chart be up next, and we shall see if it's resistance or the start of the next move up..... So far the move up looks good!

 

[robo]

Small caps: We shall see..... Waiting to see if VXF can close above the 50 sma on the daily.

People would rather avoid a loss than seek a gain, according to prospect theory. See this article, where I am quoted:

Stocks Running Into Resistance
Posted on December 27, 2021

Stocks have been consolidating below resistance for the past few months. A bullish break out of consolidation could result in a trending move.

Insiders: The reason that it matters is at some point, somebody is left holding the bag.
Today, you have record numbers of CEOs selling their stock.

A great indicator markets are bad is when, at peak prices, companies are buying shares to continue to prop up their stock.
And maybe the incentive structure of their CEOs is based on their share price.

The only thing that mattered was pump the stock.

And if you're along for the ride, that's great.

But when the CEO starts selling—now 10 billion in Musk’s case and billions of dollars in many other cases—the people left holding the bag are the people that were last in.

The tragic thing would be if those people are lower-income or lower-middle-income people that shouldn't be gambling or speculating, but they see all of their friends making money, their stock portfolios getting bigger, and they are lured deeper and deeper at the worst time.
