Projections are leading me to think we can go lower from here. Was expecting all week a FED spasm higher I would say we got that.

The 48 outstanding projection can just as easily be invalidated for the next 2-3 weeks by going below 3950. Since we can get lower projections with the 3/4, 7/8, and 12/13 I like the odds of it being invalidated just as good as going higher to the 4400 area it calls for.

Hoping for a higher open to sell into

Thanks for all your help Peter

Hey Peter thanks for the informative update. I agree with the Vix analysis. It seems like we have entered a corrective phase perhaps the sell off in 2022 was a wave 1 and we are in a wave 2 correction now, and when wave 3 hits between March and June, we should see the S&P join the Nasdaq in its weekly major downside projection. I am with you and the Vix analysis of how it always has characteristics starting a new bull market is not where we are at.
I think if anything the affect of the Fed is that it manipulates, manipulates, manipulates and this has an effect of an extended crash instead of a quick one. I don't know but I think it has somewhat of a cyclical effect maybe further translating the cycle length of other things because of the extended manipulation of money printing and interest rates. But I am with you 100% and after the fact it will all make sense. The hard part is ignoring the optimism emotions and realizing at the height of feeling 100% confident of a bull market is usually when it turns. I think Cramer actually gave the signal the other day that we are in a bear market when he said something like a new bull market has begun. He is usually a good contrarian indicator :-)

Peter,

In my experience, engaging with trolls only makes the problem worse. They feed off of negative attention.

There is a bit of fire in your voice today. We're living through historic times in the market and your analysis has been eerily good throughout.

Do not fight your own system Peter, the SPX Projection to 4.3-4.5 k has been given over 2 months ago.

Finally have the QQQ and NQ hitting 1 year VWAP this morning.

Looking to go short Nasdaq here for a long term play

We are hitting the 24 at 307.17 on the QQQ. That is the only higher projections left to hit on the daily's and weekly's.

Got my fill on the long term put play on the QQQ's now lets go down to the 100/110

Also still have the Dow divergence

Bloomberg: Lots of ESH shorts covering per CME. Tomorrow we can get today’s Open Interest to see if more longs being put on or more shorts buying to cover.

Got into my long term positions in IWM and QQQ playing the 100/110 on both of them

Sold short term Bear call spreads against the long term puts I bought yesterday.

Will sell short term Bear Call Spreads on my IWM and QQQ positions if we get a move higher tomorrow

On the DOW I have been saying for two weeks it needs to move higher for me to believe in this rally long term. To me it looks like it was all the NQ needing to play catch up before we fall again

Also glad I kept my GLD hedge on I almost took it off yesterday

TLT and TNX both at 200 day could mean something if they reverse from here

I am liking what I'm seeing here an hour before the close let's go negative

Several gurus have said if there is a decline, it would be around CPI which is February 14th. They look at option flows and the reason why VIX is so low is because people are hedging with 0 DTE options instead. There are still too many puts out there that it is putting a floor in the market. So maybe we rollover and then decline.

Are you saying that because VIX calculates the amount of projected volatility in the next 30 days based on calls and puts that have been bought/sold and that people are mostly using 0 days to hedge instead of index options like before, that the VIX is no longer able to properly calculate forward projected volatility? That makes sense in my head but I could totally have misunderstood.
