(spy-tlt)- vxx what do you think Mav, is this too esoteric? I like the idea of being short vxx or short via derivatives. tvix has no air left in it.
The narrow pivots came through today. All three sold off hard and rallied back harder. Respect the narrow pivots!
The Semi's have been very weak recently, but SMH tested and held the quarterly today at 29.60. There may now be potential for longs in this sector.
The semi's have confirmed my monthly, quarterly, and just about held my numberline confirmation. Even if the market rallies here the semi's will most likely lag! I like Oil, OIH, and the XLE here. Numberlines are super strong and the price action has been solid.
Ok I think this is the most interesting chart of the month. So the 30 year(ZB) recently made it up to the quarter and failed. I also had a very telling situation in the numberline there. I keep a numberline for tbt which is essentially the inverse ETF. The push in November to the highs and this current push have created a huge divergence in my 30 day. This same situation market the lows in the equity market last month. Everyone trading should be watching the bonds right now, the price action is very important!
You have to love energy here. The number line in crude alone has gotten really solid quickly. It's extending too outta this nice flag. XLV is fantastic, and one I just learned about the other day is PPH. Very nice. Gotta love health!
Granted SMH would be a contrarian play, it's certainly among the weakest of the sector's. I'm just now expanding out to the sector ETF's so will watch with interest.
