VIX is flying as Nikkei drops 7% as the Yen surges. Many seeing Nasdaq down 6% in one day will be too scared to buy. The truth is, you need patience with this scenario. VIX is up at 80% to 43. This means MMs remove liquidity in the market. You need to wait for VIX to decline then buy.

NVDA tests the strong support of 100 today, but market makers keep the price above. If we can hold above that 105 put resistance, then we can see move to 110-115 as call delta builds on these 2 strikes.

Declines like this are often symmetric. Understand that. but the key is to watch the VIX as I mentioned in my earlier post. We have to wait and watch for VIX to unwind and roll over.

Throughout July, we've seen IWM/SPY price action closely tied to the number of basis points of rate cuts being priced in by the market. After ydays press conference, market is pricing in 70bps of rate cuts this year. It will likely be just 50, but with this, we can expect IWM to perform.

Positioning on JPY now shows that it has shifted to net long, after being very short. This very rapid unwinding of the v v short positioning before and after BOJ cut is what led to the RAPID sharp increase in JPY. It was a short squeeze. With short positioning lower, the rapid move should be...
