With a three day weekend in front of the market and news exploding from every direction, the only new trade that looks the least bit attractive here is a bet on downside volatility spiking after Easter. This fresh Stochastic Buy gives reasonable cause to make that bet. In addition to this hourly based signal, there is an Intermediate Term VXX Buy Pending that will be going out before today's close. With VXX in a position to trigger Long in both time frames and especially in light of yesterday's pattern recognition analysis, there is ample reason to go into next week with at least some exposure to the short side. ---------------------------------------------- Stochastic Buy Signal: VXX (42.00) Option: May 15th $50C or $55C Last four VXX Hourly Stochastic Buys: Mar 25 = -94% Mar 20 = -99% Mar 5 = +1,842% Feb 21 = +3,676% Ideally we would like to see a break-out above the channel line to confirm the signal, but that might not come until Monday,
