This past week the markets continued to slide lower as the fallout from the unwinding of the massive “gamma squeeze” saw many of the popular high beta tech names hit correction levels. The end of the trading week was punctuated by a wild Friday session as quad-witching amplified the intraday volatility. Notably, with 2 trading weeks remaining, the former high flying QQQ’s have now formed an outside month and this leaves open the possibility of the current weekly “momo down” condition to carry over onto the monthly charts. For the month it’s interesting to note that the IWM […]
Hi Traders, This past week the markets continued their downward trajectory as last week’s lows were violated setting up the continuation “momo down” move we outlined in last week’s video.

The trading relationship between the SPY:VXX has […]

Q1’s sell-off is now but a distant memory and we have just witnessed one of the fastest bear markets in market history. In this week’s video I discuss: – The all-time highs in the SPY and QQQ’s and why […]
