December OPEX

Last week here I wrote that if SPY could not hold over 265 early in the week it was unlikely to get back over that level until at least after Wednesday expiration because of all the high calls. SPY closed under 265 on Monday and with that came a very small pullback, but SPY didn’t […]

Next Weeks Open Interest Favors Higher Prices

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted, but in the meantime I have tweeted the weekly open interest for SPY charts and continue to keep track of them which you can view at the bottom. Open Interest: SPY-W: (35 of 43 pins since Wednesday expiration inception). Taken at face value this open interest is bullish […]

Will That 240 Strike Come into Play This Week?

Last week here in the summary of my post I wrote: “In Sum, the grind higher is likely to continue in SPY; however, a pullback into support is possible and also a buying opportunity if it happens toward the beginning of the week…..“. This was available for anyone to read and was a HUGE trade […]

Price Action Says to Stay in May

Last week there was no post, but in previous posts, both at the end of March and the beginning of April (see here) I continued to suggest that SPX would likely get to old highs or make new ones before a more meaningful correction took place. That has now been achieved as SPX went within 2 […]

April OPEX

Last week here I laid out reasons why both the bulls and bears should curb their enthusiasm. The open interest suggested that price action would likely be rangebound, with a slight edge to the bulls. As the week progressed and the market moved lower, the open interested shifted a bit not giving much of an […]

Bulls Should Curb their Enthusiasm Next Week

Last week here I summed things up with: “Currently, the market is near or already oversold and likely to bounce soon if that has not already begun late Friday. Should price immediately go lower it will become even more oversold and not a place to initiate shorts.” Furthermore, I discussed that the open interest suggested that the […]

Yellen, OPEX & Bears Oh My!

Last week here I made the case for a likely pullback/pause. Indeed, the market did pullback, but by the end of the week recovered some of its losses to close 10 points lower than last Friday. Next week is Quad witching/OPEX, which tends to have a bullish bias. Although I do think it’s possible for SPX to […]

How Open Interest Can Signal a Trend Change

Last week here I stated “there is no reason not to expect another new high to be made as the edge continues to reside with the bulls.” That worked out nicely and I am now making a similar statement regarding next week. There is one wild card that can derail the bull run (namely Trump addressing Congress […]

The Countdown is Finally Over

Last week here, I was bullish biased thinking the market wouldn’t do too much as it waited for the Fed, but that it would at least hold up due to all the puts that had potential to act as support. Instead price struggled from the start of the week to push over the puts and […]

A Healthy Market Pause Looming

Last week here I wrote “I took a look at every bullish weekly MACD signal cross since March 2009. In each of the 10 instances, the market continued to make higher highs the following week 100% of the time. Furthermore, in 9 of 10 instances the market also closed higher to end the week. The one instance […]

One Big Game of F***ery!

It’s been a while since I’ve mused, and hoping I begin to contribute more regularly again. Let’s discuss 2015 a bit shall we. What a game of f***ery. Traders love to say the volatility provides such a great environment to make quick dough and they are correct; however, much easier said than done. As much […]

Summer of Set-ups

The statistics state that we are about to embark on the worst two months of the year for stock returns. I say rubbish. How great would it be if Wall Street was trying to enjoy their Hampton summer homes expecting dreadful market returns in June and July only to be met with fear of missing […]

Fugly!!! #SassyMusings 5/15/14

Well I for one did not come into this morning expecting what we got. If you did, bravo! The good news is that when I got long on Monday, I took most of my profits already except for a couple runners (because you just can’t hold anything in this market). The bad news is I […]

Good Day To Be A Bull Today #SassyMusings 5/12/14

Last week before the close I told my subscribers that I felt a nice gap up coming. I then wrote about my expectations for a bullish week to non subscribers here. So far that is looking good as well as the transportation and industrial sectors as I mentioned. Our entire watch list pretty much triggered […]

I Don’t Know Sh$t and Neither Does Anyone Else #SassyMusings 5/7/14

When you take a step back and just look at how the markets are trading, it’s actually humorous. For instance, first thing I noticed this morning when we were selling off were the financials were holding up. The only thing I could think was WTF? No one really knows what the F* is going on, […]

The Quiet Before More Storm #SassyMusings 4/16/14

Snoozefest today, which while it didn’t provide much intra-day opportunity was probably much needed after the recent volatility. The volatility will surely be back soon. GOOG or GOOGL (how annoying is that) paid per clips down and so far stock taking a hit. IBM as well. You think it affects the market tomorrow? I have no clue. TLT […]

Way More Fun Than Last Year! #SassyMusings 4/15/14

I said it yesterday and I will say it again today….this market is on crack yo! Last year the bulk of my profits came from swings, but in this environment you can make so much intra-day if you play it right and have no overnight risk. And the greatest part is if you miss a […]

Some Crazy Sic Moves #SassyMusings 14/14/14

This market is on crack yo…..I mean WTF? Decent size gap up today, but took a little over an hour this morning before there seemed to be any conviction as to whether it would hold. I came in flat today, but then seeing the gap hold and internals strong I tried two longs. A short […]
