GME-style Returns in a Fortnight (UUP calls)
There are compelling indicators that we are on a verge of a February 2021 market correction and the USD is expected to breakout due to investors moving from equities to bonds and USD. The VIX index and 10 year bond yield have increased significantly recently. 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.149% booked its largest weekly rise since June. A rising USD is another sign of impending liquidity crunch, debt implosion and stock market crash/ correction. It might mean people are demanding cash and supply is short.
UUP.NYSE (consists 100% of Mar21DXH1/Dollar Index based on Invesco Product Detail Statement) is selected for the purpose of this research. It is evident from the chart that UUP has ‘predicted’ the March 2020 market crash and September and October 2020 market correction. The red flags are bullish UUP RSI rising towards the 70-80 range (a sign indicating smart money might be hedging their bets) and sustained MACD line (BLUE) movements above the MACD signal line (RED). Those two signals occur well ahead of the market crash and corrections, the RSI has 100% accuracy based on the most recent market dynamics.
Moreover, February is the second worst month in the history of markets after September according to records dating back to 1928. Gamestop aftermath and Robinhood CEO testifying before Congress on February 19th might present uncertainty and trigger market sell-off. Lawmakers with stance similar to Kevin O’Leary (Democrat-Massachusetts Secretary of State) are expected to make headlines in the near future under the façade of ‘preventing little guys (retail investors) from getting hurt’ reducing retail investors margin and increasing current margin requirements (thus reducing investors firepower). COVID vaccine news have been priced in but vaccine shortage and constraints remains and investors might want to book into their profits. . Recent major indices futures are pointing down too and indicate the bullish momentum is falling.
It might be a good time to hedge the market now through VIX or/ and UUP. VIX and UUP moves in the same direction but UUP calls are currently pennies with low implied volatility. UUP 19 Feb $ 26 calls are currently priced at $ 0.01, if UUP hits $26 on Feb 19, the profit and loss will be $ 4000 (on a $ 1000 investment) and $ 99,000 ($ 1000 investment) if UUP hits $ 27. opcalc.com/o9Y
