Hey Trader,

 

It’s Mark Sebastian, your trusted source for market news and volatility analysis. Welcome to our Week-in-Review where we dissect the exciting events of the past week. And let me tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster ride in the markets…

 

Here’s what’s on today’s list:

 

Market Volatility Explosion:

 

  • From plummeting realized volatility to explosive market movements – it’s been quite a week.
  • Significant shifts in S&P 500 movements, and we’ll explore what this means.

 

Intriguing Trading Opportunities:

 

  • We’ll discuss some successful trades, including a big win with Intel.
  • Exciting new trades are in the pipeline, like a long VIX and long S&P pair.

 

Bond Market Blues:

 

  • Take a look at the bond market – TLT got absolutely smoked.
  • Oil’s shine seems to have dimmed – we’ll delve into that too.

 

Cues and Market Recovery:

 

  • The cues, as bad as the S&P, faced their challenges – we’ll examine their recent movements.
  • My predictions on potential market rebounds.

 

VIX Insights:

 

  • An in-depth look at the VIX curve – what’s been happening and what it means.
  • A critical warning sign to watch for next week – backwardation.

 

Support Levels and Market Predictions:

 

  • Discussion on support levels and their implications.
  • Could the VIX make a run at the 200-day moving average?
