A classic triple bottoming pattern with an MACD divergence to the upside culminated on 3/18/22 with a huge upturn for facebook.

The first bottom with MACD divergence happened on 3/7/22 and was followed by 2 days rapid move to the upside. The nimble options trader could have made good gains on this move. The second bottom was on 3/15/22, and this was lower than the prior bottom with MACD even higher than the first bottom. On this move the gains on out of the money options were much greater.

This chart of FB shows the two bottoms and the MACD divergence on daily price action.

The first move lasted 2 days. Buying the FB weekly 200 calls that expired on 3/11/22, at or near the open on 3/8/22 would have cost around 62c.  Usually we look for options under 10c, but in this instance the 200 calls sufficed for a gain of 300%.

We were watching several stocks towards the end of day on December 7, 2021. WMT was setting up a nice hourly divergence between the MACD and the price action. As prices bottomed in the morning of December 8, 2021, the turn up in the lower timeframes occurred around 13:00.

Given the strength of the divergence, and the slope of the MACD, we looked at WMT out-of-the-money 145 calls to expire on December 10, 2021. Acquiring them at 8c, the options went nowhere fast,  and the downturn into the following morning, if you rode it out, came to fruition by the end of the expiration day with the price soaring to over $1.

There was also a reentry point on the same option around 10.30 eastern on December 9, 2021 with price at around 4c for the call. 

 Here's what the option looked like. all the action took place at the end of the day on the 10th.

How about that Monday turn around, did you see that coming? We went from the low on November 30 up by 2% on the SPY by 11.15am eastern. Were we wary? yes. Our daily SPY and weekly charts on SPY are still on an MACD divergence down. Sure enough when the 5 min timeframe diverged down right at 11.15am. We were ready to strike. 

Check out the SPY 450 puts that went from .01 to 2.20 in a matter of hours.

Volatility Index is an innovation that provides options traders with the opportunity to achieve spectacular returns rarely present in other options markets. 

The index is based on the implied volatility present in 30-day S&P 500 options. In truly efficient markets, this can reliably be seen as the market’s expectation of near-term volatility. Thus, once the index is created, traders can implement a view of volatility isolated from other variables common to option pricing, such as underlying asset prices, dividends, and even days to expiry. 

The VIX’s volatility becomes a tradeable commodity and allows a straight purchase or sale of volatility, 

The VIX has a well-defined historical correlation with the S&P. History shows that equity markets rise at a far slower rate than they fall. As such, the historical volatility of the S&P is inverse to its price. 

This makes the perfect timing tool for equity markets. When the VIX is low, the markets...
