Sand Path to Ultimate ATH 4K: Road Map for 2020 and Beyond
Zaktualizowano
Pure WAG and sheer speculation. Absolutely NOT investing advice! This post is strictly for your amusement only; intended purely to entertain, so enjoy!
NB: Near-term some sort of correction is due, index trading >2SD above 50DMA, RSI overbought near 80; absent a Fed Hike on 28/29 Jan, expect a modest pullback.
The monster break of Feb 2018 is unlikely to repeat now without adverse Fed rate action, but ofc anything is possible in this nutty market- not for faint of heart!
In 2019 every correction started on the day of the Fed meetings, in May, July and September... IMO history likes to repeat, seems like a good bet. Could start now, from Friday's close at 3330!
The down move could be a 6-10% correction, deeper is doubtful, but possible; it's a 4th wave and these tend to be tricky trading.
Expect wild choppy swings like we saw in August- whipsawing, don't get your hands cut off! Save ur cash for Wave 5, it will be a terrific long play!
After this move completes, what comes after is anybody's guess, but this market has shown a proclivity for double tops, IMO is likely to do so again; pre-election jitters likely may start a deeper correction in Sep/Oct. We had a Bullish October in 2019; a Bearish one in 2020 is a likely consequence IMO. Beyond the election: entirely depends on the Donald pulling off re-election; as an incumbent with enormous cash to burn, his chances are better than 50-50 IMO; I expect him to win it, when he does, markets will rocket to the Moon- the 2.618 Fibo extension is certainly within grasp up around 4128!
Again, this post is pure Wild-Assed-Guessing, the tail WAGs the dog, GLTA! Be careful, be cautious, be prudent at this juncture! -DS

See embedded comments below; brief synopsis; we find ourselves in the Second Drive of Three Drives to the Top to 2020 ATH:Near-term correction (4th wave of Second Drive) tar box: 3064 - 3112;
Intermediate-term next ATH (Third Drive) tar box: 3448 - 3587;
Deeper secondary correction tar box thereafter: 2800-2880 (From chart, 2840 +/- 40 pips; note the zone of prior resistance in 2800's from Jan 2018 becomes support for the next correction!)
Final bull wave, Fifth-in Fifth of Five explosive melt-up after re-election going into 2021 of Primary Trend Century Wave to PE 30: 3996 - 4128.
After which, as The_Unwind glumly enjoys to predict; The Great Crash of 2022!
GLTA! See you at the top (and bottom thereafter!) my friends! :-) DS

Tested 3332 again and rolled right over. IMO this the ceiling; now in Feb SPY 332P.Uwaga
It sells...Zlecenie zamknięto ręcznie
Anytime you get a monster gap like this I close out. Most gaps fill eventually. This one may well fill this week to give a double top before it really starts to rollover.Made bank off the gap; we take what the market gives us. Some $2 contracts went for $10 and the VIX Calls jumped ferociously at the open, closed VIX positions when $18.85 first thing, you knew that wouldn't last long!
Consider buying puts on UVXY; on a bounce it fades geometrically.
look to re-open positions on a bounce. For now I wrote bull spreads on QQQ and SPY, long the March ATM contracts, short Friday 31 Jan in $3 spreads.
If it sells more I got good prices on the short legs, ~1.10 for OTM contracts that traded on Friday for $4.40, wow it sure sucks to be that guy! Brutal...

Entered a bear spread on UVXY, long the Feb $13 put, short the 31 Jan $12 put.This ETF fades exponentially as time decays (credit to Hungry Hippo for this idea!); time is always on your side in this trade, should markets lift here the VIX will fade rapidly, is already more than $1 off opening highs!
Uwaga
Futures greening up if AAPL beats it will explode again; IMO it's in Three Drives, going to 30k/4k/10k.Zlecenie aktywne
Back in the game! rolled my bull spreads into bear spreads; now short all four major indexes and also long the VIX in Feb 16 Calls on spread against $24 for net debit $1.5.Has all earmarks of a bear rally, a counter-countertrend move, likely fail after FOMC.
Uwaga
Taps the 0.62 Fibo retracement, might be another leg up to 0.786, mioght not; entered shorts and added; GLTA!Uwaga
Likely to fill the gap down from Monday even if only for a few minutes before it really goes down in earnest. Typical 2nd wave behavior!Uwaga
Gap filled, touched TL from under, and rejected. Futurz briught red... this is a typical ABC pattern; B wave completed on the Powell comments IMO, so predictable! Haha I love it when it's easy! Shorted at 2PM. Added. In 170 spreads now; 140 bear spreads on 4 major indices and 30 bull spreads on VIX. RUT never really got back very high and my spreads stayed green all day, imagine! We've seen this pattern before many times, it will sell to beat Hell now iMO. GLTA!Zlecenie zamknięto ręcznie
Again closed on the opening gap looks like it might double bottom and bounce from TL. Lets see!Zlecenie aktywne
Price makes a higher low. Taking a long shot here; just writing a few bull spreads on SPY/QQQ/DIA. Buying March/April contracts shorting Fri 31 and Feb 07 calls.Uwaga
Well well, the bullishness became so insane I had to roll the damn short legs twice, useless to write spreads here just go long contracts, simple. Don't plan on holding these long, certainly not over weekend. Monday could be bright Red again!!Uwaga
Fascinating read; I do think this can get higher, but IMO some more pullback is in order: marketwatch.com/story/do-not-buy-the-dip-warns-investor-who-says-a-brutal-bear-market-looms-2020-01-30?mod=home-pageZlecenie zamknięto ręcznie
More whipsaw! Amazingly I made +$ on the short legs and came ahead at the open, closed all positions, this weekend is gonna be a tricky business IMO! GLTA!Uwaga
Looks like the week of 2-10 May. If it plays like that, could rally back to resistance and then rollover; or if we in a 3rd wave down it will just tank off Monday. Looking for short entry...Zlecenie aktywne
Went long on QQQ on April bull spread; shorted equal number of SPY bear spreads in weekly. Might be another day of tanking left; or Monday could get Bear Rally... GLTA!Zlecenie aktywne
Rolled the calls into puts... all gaps fill, Friday's gap is filled, we trade at former support, now become resistance; today's gap will fill as surely as the sun must rise in the East, IMO! GLTA! Still got a gap to fill at 295 on SPY...!Uwaga
Added to each pos and entered IWM bear spread; now in 60 spreads on 4 major indices.Zlecenie zamknięto ręcznie
Closed out shorts for a very nice net on the day. If this monster starts to rally again from here the lovely gains from rolling puts will vaporize, take profits when offered IMO. Watching, waiting for next signal! Expect some more volatility, might be choppy for a while but IMO the big sells are probably mostly done. Could give an inverted H&S, if Friday's sell was the Head, we got a right Shoulder soon.Uwaga
Wow... wow. Where did it come from... where going? ATH? Pump-dump?! Wow!!!If exhaustion gap will close soon, but a runaway MOMO/FOMO is going IMO...?!
Zlecenie aktywne
Shorted the rally. All four major indices, ten bear spreads on each. Want to short TSLA but contracts all stupidly expensive, fageddaboudit! Looks like a double top with divergence in averages IMO. GLTA!Uwaga
Expanded flat to a double top IMO> Added to DIA /IWM positions. +900 in 2 days ffs! Melt-up Madness!! LOL L@K @TSLA... Finally shorts got revenge!Zlecenie aktywne
We got an expanded irregular flat going on with double top, second peak higher. These crack hard... holding shorts and rolling the short legs in bear spreads for fun and profit.
Drawdown in long legs on 31 March put contracts is nominal, VIX is not crushed.
No telling how high is too high, feels like it draws closer now. Won't be long IMO.
Uwaga
Yes it's pretty clear x-flat pattern, stopping near upper TL in megaphone; the C leg selloff could be hellacious! Added to shorts and rolled short legs out and down for realized gains on weeklies. Holding 31 March ATM Puts on long side of spreads.Uwaga
Surprisingly my drawdown on the bear spreads is <5%, VIX is not crushed at this price level yet and puts hold value well, Vega is steady and Theta is long. The weeklies net credits are almost 3x my drawdown, target on course, on glidepath! Stay the course...Zlecenie aktywne
Full press short now; in 80 bear spreads, 20 each on all four majors. See post below on harmonic bat pattern!Uwaga
NYSE A/D ratio has dropped from 9 on Weds 2/5 to 0.8 today, 2/6; internals are terrible; only 13/30 DJIA stocks are up; most are declining in rising market. Prices propped up by handful of issues- BA, MSFT, AAPL, Disney, Walgreens account for nearly all the 90-pip lift.Zlecenie aktywne
Looks like a Bear leg incoming. See related post!Zlecenie aktywne
See related recent post; looks like after this double top, a pullback to retest the 3230 price is likely, should bounce again to give a right shoulder in the following week (shown as point 'B' in chart); final weaker 3rd rally should provoke a Bearish reaction to dig down to lower TL and hit the 3210 target. A bounce from there into April/May could carry prices to the ultimate stupid ATH...!Uwaga
Amazing sell, more than I expected, or most folks I reckon; now taking positions on VIX, in March $20 puts and UVXY April $15 puts. VIX wont stay up long even if prices consolidate here it will quickly relax as panic subsides; UVXY will rapidly decay as the futures contracts in this ETF approach expiry. Took 10m contracts each to start.Uwaga
Asian markets appear to have bottomed overnight... probly real close to end of Bear campaign here IMOUwaga
AmAZING. IN Disbelief. 3k in 3 days. The rally will be fantastic, stupendous, don't get caught short!!Zlecenie aktywne
Going LONG. In SPXL; market internals today on Friday 2/28/2020 are same extreme Bear mode as 24 Dec 2018, strongly suggests pivot from this support; see this post:The number of NYSE-listed stocks that have hit new 52-week lows have spiked up to 946 in morning trading Friday from 694 the previous session and 100 at the end of last week. That's the most new lows seen since Dec. 24, 2018, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, closed at a 15-month low. The Dow dropped 963 points in morning trading toward a 14-month low. Meanwhile, stocks making new highs spiked down to 4 from 26 on Thursday and 248 last Friday. That was the lowest number of new highs since Dec. 26, 2018.
