Your analysis is really sophisticated for my simple thinking brain.
What is your estimate on SPY downside for VXX to hit $33 target?
claydoctor
If VXX reaches the TGT 33, here's the math... VXX is 3X the VIX, which represents the inverse equities markets, or SPY, as an example. VXX rises 18% to 33, which inversely would represent a 6% correction in SPY, which just happens to land it right at the hugely significant horizontal support of 198. That's a lot of "IFs" but if it happens it will be perfect trading.

Thanks for your clear explanation. My target would be $206 on this trade since it was significant resistance coming up here.
