Hey Trader,
The SPX opened up about 15 points on Wednesday…and then dropped like a stone.
For those of us who have been around the block, it was the classic bear market that opened up and then dropped…
But then at 2:15 ET the S&P rocketed higher.
The move was impressive…

Check that out.
At the end of the day yesterday, I honestly had to admit…and Voz agreed…I have NO IDEA what is going to happen tomorrow.
But here’s what I do know…and I have a trade idea for you…
On one hand, the S&P had a huge recovery…on the other…we closed below the highs by a nice mile…
We are at risk of truly falling apart…JPM has a fund you can join (I wouldn’t) the fund is long the index and long a collar.
The current collar is long the 4210 puts…
That strike is going to be a magnet for the S&P 500 over the next few days…
As my friend and fellow trader said, if the S&P 500 breaks 4210 things are going to get ugly…if not, we start to rally.
So what do you do as a trader?
It’s pretty simple actually…
I think the selling will fail to break the 4210 level…
And with the curve in the current shape:

I think you want to buy October VIX out of the money puts…they will pay.
