VIX Spikes To 1 Month Highs

Tyler Durden's picture




 

VIX has surged this morning above 16% - its highest in almost a month. This shift is well beyond the equity move for now as investors seek protection for their stocks and shift into bonds and gold (with the latter at 2014 highs).

massive BTFD'ing at the open; big shock there. NASDAQ went vertical from its pre-market start.

Yup...the Dow will close down 18 points by days end and we will have Bob Pisani saying today is another clear victory for the bulls (sorry no more Maria) and then we will have the usual suspects Larry Fuckin Fink, David Tepper and Lazlo Biryini with cameo from Jim Cramer declaring this WAS another buying opportunity.

Fuck, we need more fuckin WARS so that we can get more DIPS to load up on stocks!

Where is not for the fucking FED with their magic printer, this market would easily be down 2%. Somewhere down the road, this ends in tears and catastrophe.

Have no fear, it'll get an HFT hammering soon enough to bring it into alignment with what our oligarchs desire.

I thank you, Mr. Putin, for a brief upswing in gold price, At least the dicks at the CBs will have to be creative to squash it back down this time.

and if you still think that Gold and Silver aint Money...

"(CNN) -- Islamist militants have told Christians in a northern Syrian city that they will guarantee their safety. But there's a catch. Make that a lot of catches.

Christian residents of Raqqa, once one of the nation's most liberal cities, will have to pay as much as 17 grams of gold per adult male in an annual payment, the extremist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) said in a statement posted online this week."

Jennifer Lawerence fell on the Red Carpet last night.  I'm shocked we aren't below 1700 on the open.

 

That was scary.  Americans are tough though.  Looks like they handled it without panicking...yet.

Gotta have priorities.  Keeps the system from falling apart.

 

Keep the muppets distracted.  She does do that.

If Brent holds these levels, it is lights out for the economy....

Diesel in the NE is around $4.85 a gallon comparable to July '08 when oil had a blow off top...

Brent at $112 with the the DXY at 0.8 is very comparable to Brent at $135 with the DXY at 0.7....

Edit:

Expressed in straight Euros, the prices then and now are all but identical... 80 Euro per barrel is the ceiling...

Maybe this will encourage a more efficient bike 'n' barter economy.
But let's not forget we can (not should) still go to coal. 'Lights out', not quite, but not nearly as good.
Trains for shipping, coal-fired electric sources....

The criminals will spike VIX to daily close above daily Bollinger, then close within, then spike above, then close w/in, triggering S&P buy signal. Rinse Wash Repeat. It's been the story the whole ramp up from 1050.

If it is so fucking obvious you should been making a fortune front running the pattern instead of bitching about it here...

Look at every spike outside the D Bollinger, and what happens when it closes back inside (twice). And who says I am not.

today hvu 1/11 x spy = 224 far above the 219 trend showing that hvu (tsx) should be much lower yet it isn't. The new all-time high for s&p isn't denting vix like it intended to do, or normally would to the trend of hvu 1/11 x spy = 219 (or as low as 216).

As this number (224) climbs & spy climbs this means that vix, volatility, isn't convinced at all.

The computed share price for hvu with a 219 constant can be increased fully by 29% to get the actual share price today. That's how much it's overperforming to the trend line, uvxy similarly so (usd).
