09/17/2017 – well, as you know, the SELL PATTERN on the NYSE Index got smoked ..NOTE the gap UP RIGHT AT THE PATTERN LEVEL. that’s a failed pattern …

now, the XIV has hit the target zone but I’ve updated it based on the most recent action. It has NOT made a new high and is still in the zone for a SELL XIV or “BUY” Volatility.  Stay tuned ….

If you go the XLP / $NYA chart you can see a little lower on that ratio could push the XIV up and into the next zone for the sell.  All best are off if we daily close above “wrong above here” or, if you want just a little more risk above the hold high on the XIV.

09/04/2017 –  as you can see by the chart below the XIV is forming a ‘classic’ sell signal.  If you look closely (not labeled here) we can see a 5 wave count down. w/ this rally, we should expect another wave lower.  that’s what ‘should’ happen BUT you never know.

we have:

• dashed red arrows showing equal rallies completed on Friday
• we have a PATTERN that shows 86.26-86.88 as completing a the sell PATTERN
• if we blow thru there then the 91.22 area is next and anything above 94 (daily close?) tells me we are going higher in the XIV

probability, therefore risk control, calls for another sell-off to occur in the XIV and, albeit, soon.

also, note the SAME fractal pattern is present on the $NYSE Index.

Happy Labor Day.

07/30/2017 – we are entering August w/ volatility AT THE ALL TIME low – ever.  We also have some pretty cool eclipses coming into play.  No kidding, this eclipse is going to be the first one since the inception of the United States that it only goes all the way across our country.  Some serious energy is going to be hitting the continental US.

that being said, you can see we were looking at 88-90 ish as potential targets for the XIV but also noted the ‘big candle’ warranted caution for a top/resistance.

we plowed thru those two targets and now have a weekly doji sitting around 93.  why did it stop there?

when going to targets I always like to go long term log and also use percentage projections. as you can see if we do a .618ab=cd on the percentage distance it hit the high exactly.

additionally we are also hitting some long term log resistance lines – NOTE I bracketed the gap to come up w/ a zone of resistance.

we have some negative divergence but I really want to keep an eye on that rising dashed green trend line on the RSI …that’s pretty much been running the show…

So, I’m still in the mindset that a correction is coming … mindful to wait for an SRC before jumping in on the LONG VIX or short XIV opportunity.

07/16/2017 – NEWS FLASH Volatility is historically low (insert sarcasm here) .. as you can below on the first chart the XIV (inverse VIX) has simply CRUSHED any semblance of patterns as it screams to new highs.  Sheesh!  But, the more parabolic it becomes the more likely it will parabolically collapse. I’m not saying the market is going to crash all I’m saying is PARABOLIC take off’s NEVER end well. So, ride it while you can …

Below, calling out a very nice 3 drive to a top w/ price and time symmetry and, additionally, the XIV is smacking into 1.618/1.68179 projections from the date of inception.  Man, if it smacks into this level and keeps rolling it’s going to be Space-X rocket.

NOTE: if your thinking the VIX is going to spike (XIV to go down) watch out – the candle going into this level is pretty large and bullish …

this chart below is the WEEKLY blown up to capture the most recent price action:
