Ugh. Sold SPX puts for a good chunk double up - would have been over half a million dollars had I held through this flush.
I think it's just a realization of what these commodities prices means. Inflation will be back at 5% very soon, and thus rates will remain high. Banks are fugged.Lake08 said:

agree...but also, a lot of geopolitical stories in the last few minutes...with Blinkin saying Ukraine will join NATO...and Biden giving Bibi some ultimatums...this admin is trash!!!Bonfire.1996 said:I think it's just a realization of what these commodities prices means.

Soft landings never happen. Things break. Looks like the Fed will be forced to break regional banks to finally crush consumers into not spending 110% of their incomes.

Keep a sharp eye on this SPX level. Bulls will try to defend this level until the all bloody end.
Not ideal, but 5090 breaking is the big red flag.ProgN said:Bulls can't let SPX get below 5150ProgN said:

I had 5230 SPX at $0.75 I sold for $1.50. They are $73 now.Spoony Love said:
Me too man. I had a few SPY 519P 0dte that cost .09.Currently 6.30
Below 5150 and RSI will break below 50 for the first time since last October and could trigger sell algos. I want it to break it hard!Heineken-Ashi said:Not ideal, but 5090 breaking is the big red flag.ProgN said:Bulls can't let SPX get below 5150ProgN said:

I hear you. Below 5090 breaks through the mid Keltner band, and a major demand support zone with room to fall quickly to 4950 where the bottom of the ichimoku cloud is. All of those breaking with RSI tanking is very very bad.ProgN said:Below 5150 and RSI will break below 50 for the first time since last October and could trigger sell algos.

Had the wrong level for the cloud and had to edit.

I ended up throwing all my remaining cash in today at various things like TNA, SSO, NVDA, and GOOGL.Heineken-Ashi said:
Giong to be an interesting night in futures. Today could end up being a hell of a buying opp for another move up. Could just as easily be the first step down. Whatever you do, know your levels and trade the chart. Take the emotion out.
Negative reversal bars at a 52-week high have a consistent tendency to lead to further short-term pullbacks of up to a week later.

I'm leaning that way, but there's some definite caution signs. SPX broke below an uptrend channel with a very big engulfing candle. Fear & Greed has dropped to mid level and another drop tomorrow or Monday could be a bearish indicator. In a matter of hours we dropped 65% of the distance between ATH and the level that became support in early March.EnronAg said:
I still think it's a fake out...too many talking heads saying we're due, normal pullback coming, etc etc etc...doesn't smell right to me...I think we rip just a bit higher (SPX 5,350 or something) off some manipulated goldilocks jobs report tomorrow before maybe a late April pullback...geopolitical events get bought back up after a day or two...

You've waited a year for the market to rip 25% and get in when it dips 1%?
I'm not speaking for him and I could be wrong, but I interpreted his "sell the dips, buy the rips" post as he's been trading opportunities when they present themselves (quick strikes). If I'm correct, he hasn't had all his money sitting idle, he's just been stacking singles which grows his cash available. He's just positioned himself to invest heavy for the LT in great companies during a correction.EliteZags said:
