How efficient is the Expected Move? Next week has a Fed announcement and Major economic news. Volatility fell along with the market in a bizarre week of trade. Volume dropping on stocks selling off. Softbank continues to conduct itself in a recalcitrant manner, as does the insidious CCP. Best of luck next week, - RH
Neutral Call, 4-day trading week with a huge expansion of Expected Move from last week's $62. Last Week: $62 EM / 5 Days = $12.5/day --> Next Week: $107.75 EM / 4 Days = $27/day Volatility is like toothpaste; Once it's out of the tube it's hard to put it back in. The market is seeing a ton of risk in the volatility futures 47 days out for some reason....
The S&P 500 continues to grind higher, notching a string of all-time highs, and seeing the rally since March foster an "official" bull market. The pandemic has sped up key structural trends and triggered substantial market swings, precipitating an urgent need to rethink strategic asset allocations. Among the big changes: We favor reduced exposure to nominal...
Last Week Expected Move: $64 Best of luck this week - RH

Bullish when rising --> Risk-Seeking market Bearish when falling --> Risk-Off market Another ratio that demonstrates non-confirmation as the market lunges to new all-time-highs.
My Favorite Ratio Chart. Semiconductors are a leading indicator of the Tech sector. Typically has a timely divergence with few false signals. Best, RH
A favorite ratio of mine has reached the low end of its range. The sentiment ratio which illustrates complacency and suggests a contrarian stance is warranted. Like all contrarian metrics, betting on mean reversion typically comes to fruition eventually, but tells you nothing about when that will occur. That being said, I try to be as 'timely' as possible...
SPX Next week expected move = $64. A very strange week last week. Nasdaq mega-caps rotated into Small-cap value. This is due to a short squeeze in the Most-shorted index, not a cyclical rebound. Seeing $VVIX upward movement this week alongside the $SPY. This is a huge Divergence . I said keep a lookout for divergences. This week was full of 'em. 30-year...
The Expected Move is low. Watch for divergences next week. If anybody knows what the random spike was on Thursday night, I'd love to know. Best of luck next week, - RH
Strange times we're living in. The more you understand, the less you forgive. Lies, Damned Lies, and Earnings Estimates I think we'll continue to rally for another week or two, but this is the last hoorah. A significant tone-change or event is nearby. Sum of the evidence suggests late July-early August. - Sentiment = FOMO...
Correlations are very high. Volatility is low. A very large move is coming. Last week expected: $101 Actual move: $121 (4-day week) Next Week: $80.5 (5-day week) XLF IV rank is attractive. TSLA reached escape velocity. Tesla looks like Amazon did 15 years ago. I've been struggling to create an RIA for several months now. If anyone has any advice/experience...
We're at a definitive inflection point in the market right now. Big time sector rotations. 4-day trading week. Could use a few honest opinions about eToro if anybody has had any experience on their platform. Please & thank you! Best of luck next week, RH
