Picture perfect bull might be a bulletI'm the type of guy that likes to keep it simple, be patient, and let the chart come to me. I find it always gives the answers EVENTUALLY. In this case, have you ever seen anything scream liftoff as loudly? Here we have two bullish channels overlapping. After a failed breakout of the pink channel in Aug, 2024 price action went on to move way back down and to a slightly more sideways/down direction forming the bottom trend line of the blue channel, before finally breaking out cleanly. After a quick retest of the pink channel there was a strong move up, hitting the top of the blue channel again. We then see a downward trend that delineates the pennant formation in black which took price way back down below the bottom blue trend line to retest the pink channel once again, at which point it begins to put in a bottom. Price moved straight sideways on a hard floor until it made a stealth breakout of the black pennant. I see this setup as rocket fuelled and ready to go looking at how far down below the blue channel it had to go to retest the pink line for the second time. With such a dynamic setup, this looks like an opportunity of a lifetime. I think an upside price between 60 and 70 is very reasonable. Maybe even conservative!
UVIX a lot more love to giveUVIX daily just crossed 50SMA. This is huge and a lot more upside esp. with all the f$ckery taking place. I have been warning on this for a few weeks now and made 20% today. Can easily go up to 30-40. Add SMA9 / Williams % range on 15mins. I have a few more premium, but that should help getting started.
Potentially a nice upside to VIXHorrible jobs report and no clear sign that things will get better make it a great recipe for the VIX (UVIX) to spike. The glimmer of light from cutting interest rates likely won't make a dent in the economy. It's too little TOO LATE! A massive correction needs to happen and PE / CAPE ratios show that the stock market is the most expensive it has every been. I've seen many people get wiped out, always read the signs....
Soon she will grow like a tree....UVIX (VIX proxy)Don't underestimate the VIX spike (UVIX is highly correlated), which has been sitting at a ONE YEAR low, which is extremely rare - only in times when a massive correction is about to happen! Frame this post bc historically VIX doesn't sit around 15 for too long (over 30 years). A major jump is unraveling and AI bubble will burst. Japan's long term interest rates are exploding and the Fed's short term rate cut cannot stop it since it's based on market demand / supply.
UVIX marching on (VIX proxy)Very nice spike this morning, that's typically a sign that there's more volatility in the works. Remember that we are at record lows on the VIX and that doesn't stay in this region for a long time. Add the Alpha VIX indicator to help you get an entry. The economy is brittle and staying focused on the VIX is a very nice play!
Best of luck and DM if you have any questions.....
Consolidation taking place...VIX primed to spike soonBeen following the VIX for a while now, and it seems like the party will end pretty soon. Japan's yield is exploding and no one is talking about it (i.e., implications to US) and CNBC is celebrating small wins completely avoiding talking about bank's unrealized losses at historic levels and what impacts 90% of Americans, like tariffs that are only going to get worse. Keep an eye on the VIX as at its lows right now and creeping up, until it shoots up like a rocket, which it has done historically since 1993.
Best of luck!
UVIX is your BEST insurance policy against the market!I've said this many times before, UVIX is an absolute gem if you know how to trade it. It's one of the only ETFs that has a mean reversal. The market is over heated and there's really nothing behind it except hot air, no major fundamentals. The economy is cooling, and you should be ready. Learn how to trade UVIX, monthly spikes that over compensate the lulls.
Best of luck and always do your own DD, I did!
Great time to get into UVIXHorrible jobs numbers = "sh&t economy." Further validation that the last few days that S&P spiked were full of hot air. The economy is not doing well, and these are just lagging indicators, which means that actual problem is bigger. Default rates are higher than 2008, weakening dollar (9% since start of the year), high # of bankruptcies....the only thing keeping this afloat is QE and people's 401k chasing ETFs that will most all fall down since the correlation is weaker today than 5 years ago.
Best of luck and always do your own due diligence!
UVIX looking real sweet! VIX has a very unique quality, which is that it bottoms-out! The VIX is in a very nice place right now. Already did 3 trades over the last week ranging from 4 to +10%. I can't think of a better ETF to trade in times of uncertainty and risk. I'll be providing alerts for those who are interested in upgrading to steak vs. rice and beans FOMO crypto bros!
Best of luck and always do your own due diligence! Nothing makes me more happy than to see average Joes and Janes beat the S&P and overpriced FAs.
This is a GIFT....UVIXWe've had insane VIX spikes over the last few months and now things have calmed down a bit, but not for long. The one thing you can always count on is that VIX will spike again! This means UVIX will spike too. If you haven't already, add this to your list asap.
It's worth waiting. I made 15% the other day on this one in a few short hours.
I'll be posting the ENTRY alert soon!
Trading UVIX for Effective Hedge📊 Trade Idea: UVIX Multi-Layered Entry Strategy (Scalping Volatility Spikes)
The current market environment presents a unique opportunity to trade the Volatility Shares 2x Long VIX Futures ETF (UVIX), which has surged nearly 50% on Thursday and 124% over the last week. With ongoing fears surrounding President Trump's reciprocal tariffs, volatility is expected to remain elevated.
🔍 What Is UVIX?
UVIX is a leveraged ETF designed to provide twice (2x) the daily return of the Long VIX Futures Index. Unlike the VIX itself, which measures expected market volatility, UVIX holds futures contracts on the VIX, aiming to profit from both upward spikes in volatility and the structure of the futures market.
Pros of UVIX:
High Return Potential: Can deliver significant gains when market volatility spikes.
Effective Hedge: A powerful tool to offset losses during broad market declines.
Liquidity: Offers easy access to volatility exposure without directly trading VIX futures.
Cons of UVIX:
High Volatility: Amplified moves can result in large gains or substantial losses.
Decay & Compounding Issues: Daily rebalancing and futures roll costs can erode value over time.
Not Suitable for Long-Term Holding: Designed for short-term plays, not buy-and-hold investing.
Here’s my detailed risk-managed trading plan to profit from continued volatility.
🚀 Entry Strategy: Layered Buy Entries with Trailing Stops
🎯 Initial Entry:
Entry Price: 80.00 (Just above the breached Supply Zone 0: 56.80 - 66.38)
Stop Loss: Below the lower trend line from the recent parabolic move (For example, around 70.00).
📈 Position Scaling: Adding to Winning Positions
Use Buy Stop Orders:
As the price breaks above significant supply zones, place Buy Stop Orders to add positions.
Scale in positions at:
Level 1: Above 89.20 (Top of Supply Zone 1)
Level 2: Above 113.25 (Top of Supply Zone 2)
Level 3: Above 147.24 (Bottom of Supply Zone 3)
Level 4: Above 182.36 (Bottom of Supply Zone 4)
Manual Entries:
Alternatively, you can manually add positions on strong breakouts during or outside Regular Trading Hours (RTH) to catch volatility spikes.
!!!Use Limit Orders Outside RTH!!
Place limit orders during off-hours to capture sharp volatility moves when liquidity is lower.
Market volatility often increases during pre-market or post-market sessions. Capitalize on these moves with well-placed limit orders.
🛡️ Risk Management: Trailing Stops & Break-Even Protection
Initial Stop Loss:
Set below the lower trend line (e.g., 70.00). This provides a wide margin for market fluctuations while still protecting your position.
Trailing Stop Loss:
As the price progresses upward, move your stop loss to higher levels to secure profits.
Use a dynamic trailing stop that follows major support levels or recent lows.
Break-Even :
Once UVIX has moved 10-20% above your entry point (80.00), move your stop loss to break even (80.00) for a risk free trade.
📌 Profit Targets
Target 1: 130.79 (Historical 350% level from July 2024 move)
Target 2: 165.46 (Top of Supply Zone 3)
Target 3: 210.30 (August 2024 High)
Adding positions as the price moves in your favor allows for maximum profit potential while limiting risk on initial entries.
Moving the stop loss to break-even creates a risk-free trade, allowing you to ride the momentum without worry.
Continually adjusting stops protects profits as they accumulate, ensuring that gains are secured even if the market turns sharply.
📣 Final Thoughts
The Volatility Shares 2x Long VIX Futures ETF (UVIX) is a powerful instrument for profiting from short-term volatility spikes. Given the current geopolitical and economic uncertainty, this setup offers a strong risk-reward opportunity.
💡Advice: Avoid Greed & Gambling in Volatility Trading
Trading the Volatility Shares 2x Long VIX Futures ETF (UVIX) offers tremendous profit potential during periods of heightened market volatility. However, the same leverage that can generate huge gains can just as easily cause significant losses. Avoiding greed and gambling behavior is crucial for your long-term success.
UVIX...the gift that keeps on givingWith all the inflationary measures taking place and ultra high valuations, we are bound to see a very nice uptick in volatility. There is some nice upside to grow here so let it breathe. It could easily go beyond $33 range.
All the best and always do your own due diligence!
VIX / UVIX....awesome upsideSo far VIX / UVIX has not let me down and with all the issues in the market it is statistically well positioned to go up IMHO. Great returns are only for those who take calculated risks. The China and Tech topics among pending liquidity / interest rate issues can all lead to massive volatility. Also, in the mix ridiculous high valuations that will "correct" very soon.
All the best and always do your own due diligence!
Traded UVIX This Morning, Just After Open. Position Closed NowIs CBOE:UVIX right for you? Would you also like to earn when the market is down? If so check it out, I traded $UIVX right after the open and have already closed the position. I usually don't day trade, but on a down day like today I couldn't resist trying the downside with Ultra Short Futures Options. These instruments aren't for everyone, & most people who own them lose money over time, so please be careful and only risk as much as you can afford to lose.
