Range Trade With High Risk Reward, Lot's Of Potential Catalysts

Retail Sales posted abysmal numbers
National Emergency declared
S&P500 due for a reversal
China U.S relations worst in recent memory with the arrest of Huawei CFO
U.S. industrial production fell in January for the first time in eight months

Something has to give. I'm using some intuition with this trade, just have a good feeling about it, especially considering the political environment. Also, I like how it is at the bottom of it's short term range

I like the technical component too. Even though TVIX erodes due to contango, this level has still shown to be resilient. The range is beautiful, with potential upside of 10%+. Only buying 1/2, will fill on momentum or on a pullback to either bump out or reduce average.

This is a risky trade though
