And these moves always happen around the same time of day, 1:00-1:30pm ET. Probably institutions.
The VIX has had bigger percentage up moves(20%) on a -2 handle move on the SPY. VIX went up 9.1% on a -1.45% move. That’s about typical 6 to 1 correlation.
I would be concerned if VIX continued to rise into Friday.
looking long term and using weekly timeframe charts it looks bullish,
No rate cut as expected.
He's FOS. They can't sustain high interest rates and keep the ponzi scheme going. He's just taking the ubiquitous freebie chance to cool things off by just using his largemouth bass flap.Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks after Fed holds interest rates steady — 1/31/2024

No rate cut as expected. To summarise they want to see more months of data showing inflation being tamed before normalizing interest rate.

For March, the odds are at 50/50 for cut or no cut.
I'd put it at 99 NO CUT, 1 CUT.
They quite clearly stated they favor not cutting and given the rationale. It is more wall street hyping it hoping for a rally.There is a lot of political pressure as well. But in the last years, Powell has been in line with the expectations and has not thrown out unexpected surprises.
For March, the odds are at 50/50 for cut or no cut. And the market is not pricing that in. March is gonna be volatile for the markets.

Roaring Kitty is back! GME is blowing up again.
What do you think the play is?
The historical performance of stocks that short-squeezed like $GME is this dead-money downward pressure.
Market Makers are situated differently now.
What happened in 2021 was this covering pressure that drove the stock up. Market makers sell calls to retail Schmoes then they buy the stock to cover the deltas on those short calls. That's why open interest strikes sometimes act as magnets or repellants.

Not following actively about oil market. What’s your concern?
The oil market has problems of liquidity that bigger hedge funds are no longer playing.Nothing, just figured maybe you had an interesting take. You always seem to have valuable opinions.
You did play it back in October.
In 1979 and 2008 we saw oil rip higher just before a recession. Maybe 2024 will see a repeat?
How bad will the recession be? Will there be a financial crisis?
Great news as I bought some puts.
After 4 hours, I'm already up 35% on the trade.
Will exit at 100%.
I had to settle for a 48% gain in 2 days. Exit liquidity is pretty poor with a lot of slippage so I tried to get out earlier than I wanted.
