Well that escalated quickly... high beta momo stocks are continuing to accelerate lower this morning as BTFD'ers seem absent for now. VIX topped 22 - its highest since Dec 2012. Once again, stocks tried to decouple from bonds (twice) and failed...
It seems the "D" for Tesla stands for Down...

Time to rearrange the deck chairs and tell the dance band to play something upbeat.....
Still trying to find the easiest way to play the VIX. Any one?
Long -- VXX or if your a gambler TVIX.... Use with extreme caution.
Short -- SVXY --- Not for widows and orphans!
One simple..
If markets going up and VIX high then leverage long stocks.
If markets going down an VIX high then leverage short shocks (or SRTY or similar short derivative ETF).
Watch the way the markets are going (like just after a wedge).
The bigger the swings the better. It's where traders can make big and lose big.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...

Greed will trump common sense, as always; hardcore believers in the invincibility of the Fed will lose their winnings. This is the playground of sharks nervously eyeing each other and the exits.

People should be dumping this peripheral dogshit bonds, Portuguese, Spanish Italian and especially French, with Europe rolling over the dbt burden is going to get worse , so these are a minefield at all time lows...
Well, I envy longer term trading styles on days like this, as pure daytrading w/leverage, my forte, can be trecherous as hell when markets are at key levels.
With volatility measures (VIX, RVX) rolling over a bit after 10:30, hard to tell whether this is a pure VWAP desperation ploy (i.e., temporary), or setting the stage for a BTFD turnaround day. Personally, I don't like the looks of it (I mean from a trading perspective), so after a nice morning Russell short, I"m done for the day. Good luck, fellow traders, and let me know if I miss the "big one."
