Waggin 537C .34? EOD ?

stopped out of
SPY Apr 23 '25 $530 Put @ 0.05 from 0.21
for a loss.
534 S from prior LOD @ 12:26 ET
proved stronger than expected.

SPY new LOD...
not much time left.
let's see what they do into the close...

SPY just dipped under 535 again.
time will tell...

Saw a post on X
about how during the past month, retail money has poured into this market
at a very high rate - I don't think the 'tutes are buying here -
we'll see -

If we fade down to 534 on the SPY today, then just about every buyer will be in the red -
could be a NASTY rug pull

Small caps getting some love

Start your electric journey......







Hit a high of 545.......Recouped 50% of The Plunge

Right here and now,
SPY up 10 bucks -
537.07
IF it starts dropping here, many, MANY stuck above...
check the 5 minute candle chart -
still no confidence in this market and after a 2 day blast upward,
Profit taking for the last 60 minutes would not be shocking.
TSLA report was pathetic, and everyone knows it -
Everyone knows we're contracting and sentiment is crap -
we've lost the consumer.

we are still solidly below the 50 and 200 day, so this bounce is logical,
but with the amount of overhead resistance we have, WHEN
we turn back downward, it'll drop hard

sometimes it's good to think in terms of fear and greed -
and the herd mentality.

See If can get Back Catch EOD !

Looks Like Hi Side 28.50! Taken a Break ! Stuff to Do ! Guess Dats My Claim to Fame for Today! Ha! Ha!----!!LOL!!

could be a strong move
in either direction after 15:00 ET.
i'm still thinking downward.
but anything's possible...

Scalped Out 535P .97! Take It! Fair Trade! Tks Boys !!

Come On Boys---Gimmie A Couple Hot Candlesticks !!

Runnin Da Line 28.50 ?

Scalped 1/2 535P .91! Take it !!

VIX rallying as SPY dips.
bottom could fall out...
or bots could rally upward into close...

for now, still betting on
max pain being much lower...

There They Go! U Right !!

Riddin 535P .55?

not holding overnight in this political chaos
unless it's an OTM strangle.

markets remain news-driven for now
until the white house finds some balance.

the low-vol spikes downward since 14:00 ET
smell like bot paints.
so i'm waiting a bit longer
to see if bots punch new LOD.

aiming to exit by 15:00 ET,
if not sooner on a strong punch lower...

R You Going To Do an Overnighter on EOD ??

Out 543C .43!

no way to know what happens from here.
i'm still holding my lotto cheap OTM puts
based mainly on max pain being 525 today.
but will close puts, if we don't see a new LOD soon.

Riddin 543C .45! Try Try Again ??

Back to 28.78! ---If can Hold Present Pattern Last 3 Days Should Drop Off Its 5 min Red Line for a Rally ???--The Botts ???

SPX 5 min Coiling 20/50 Just Above R2 5369----Not My Favorite Area to Trade Calls ---Like it Off Da 5 Min Red Line Spring Area Where Can Get a Nice CCI Divergence By/Sig!--- 1 min Still Straddling Min Red Line ??

Kay, so what d'ya' figure ? ......Tariffs worse than Covid ?
Or.....was that just another Buy The "Dip" ?

fwiw, reloaded cheap SPY Apr 23 '25 $530 Put @ 0.21
for scalp of possible bot downdraft from here.
SPY dropping, VIX bouncing now.
time will tell...

UVXY green spike now, as SPY dips.
if the bots do run this down from here,
max pain today-exp is 525,
$13 lower than current range.

that's a long way to go,
but even a short distance could blow up puts.

Closed 543C .61 ! Reenter !

Ditto!! Up To Da Botts Now ??

VIX Target Fib at 27.26---LOD 27.11----See If Can Take Um Out ??

On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continued the Trump administration’s efforts to send a more conciliatory message toward trade partners, promising engagement rather than a go-it-alone approach.

“‘America First’ does not mean America alone. To the contrary, it is a call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect among trade partners,” Bessent said at an Institute of International Finance event in Washington, D.C.


Oh......so now (suddenly) it's a "call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect" is it ?

Riddin 543C .57! Lets See ??

i watch 1min and 5min, too.
fwiw, SPY 5min 6/20 (ema)
just crossed green at 13:05 ET.

chart-wise, looks like a rally into close.

but with max pain $11 lower,
i'm wary of calls,
given bots might want much lower?

just watching for now
after stopping out on the bounce.

VIX S2 --28,78---Now LITS ??

VIX 1 min Coiling Above 1 Min Red Line (233 EMA)--- Watching for Xover Below to Start Rally! --Above Intraday Bearish///Below Bulls ----Running 2 Sets of Charts --1 & 5 Mins--Same Specs---Had to fine tune for Da Bots ??

fwiw, SPY max pain today is 525,
$11 lower than current strike price.
https://optioncharts.io/options/SPY/max-pain

that seems a long stretch from here
but might be the bots desired direction
after WS returns from lunch?

UVXY trending downward since 12:28.
lower lows, lower highs.
suggests possible rally into close.

edit:
SPY ticking down
as UVXY spikes above the prior R downtrend.

let's see what happens 1pm...

what a diff 15 min makes.
just returned from getting some lunch
to find myself stopped out of
SPY Apr 23 '25 $530 Put
at 1.00 from 0.69.

thought SPY still had more down to go
but never can tell with bees.

a good lesson in placing stops
before stepping away,
even briefly...

Need More Whip Saw ! Trading Off The SPX 1 min MACD Xovers !! 5 min CCI Sluggish on Slow Days !

Out 528P.66! VIX Flipped! Bots to Da Rescue !!

Taken a Shot on VIX Break ?? 50/50 Not that Great---Just a Wagg Down to Da 5 Min Red Line Magnet ! Lets See If Can Hit It ??

re: "Close Da Gap ??"

def possible.
but also could bot rally into the close.
never can tell with bees.

fwiw, more volume on last two 1-min sell candles
after the break below prior 535.57 S level from 11:53 ET.

Waggin 528P.57? Close Da Gap ?? Down to Da SPX 5 Min Red Line ??

SPY new LOD now,
still low volume on the selloff,
but bulls still giving up S levels.

i got in later than you,
waited for the break below
the sideways S channel this morning.

still riding SPY Apr 23 '25 $530 Put
from 0.69 @ 11:34.

up decently now,
but thinking we see lower after lunch.
