that VIX update spoke of a guy buying an april/march strangle worth $34MM. big money betting on VIX popping or dropping big.

Market internals say it all. Today's NYSE breadth is up but weak as is the A/D, both reflected in the price action. Sentiment is bullish so I think the market will continue upward until buyers are exhausted, but it won't be a rhino horn spike, but probably a rounded top, gasping for a few days or weeks until it crashes. If this bull run lasts into Feb. or longer, then I'll look for a single or double divergence on the 60 or daily to go short.
This is deja vu; market is ignoring bad news and jumping on the good. Until that changes its best to buy on the dip (higher highs, lower lows for now) . . .

Very interesting. That's a big bet

FYI - I just got notice on xlf for '51400 sell share imbalance going into close'. Never seen this before.

$NYLOW now 64. Who is in control? Good luck to all who are jumping aboard the bullship prior to blastoff. Here is Major Tom to help you settle in.

[janez]

What is your reading now? reduce longs? or reduce shorts? I am really confused at this moment.

Yes, the market will only embrace binary outcomes before the greek bond redemption on March 20.

Either PSI succeed, market rallies to 1450.

Or PSI fail, markets retreats to 11xx.

The big money's logic is quite convincing.

the 28 call was the april side of it - bought for $3.05.
march 22 puts...

a strangle diagonalized i believe is the term when the expirations are different months.

Based on my reading of several european political and economic blog sites written by the europeans, I would say most likely (>65% of chance) the PSI will fail. Let's wait and see.

Let the yo-yo swing ....

My guess is a fully hedged position and wait for the breakout to tell you. Interesting that we only had a dime squeeze at the end. It is usually more agressive.

After weeks

Spray something on those vocal chords!
The guy who markets the HFT program has a primary indicator called the accumulator. I have never seen a divergence like this before.

Could u explain just a bit....what is that?

I have no idea what it is as it's an oscillator not built on price. So I guessing some indicators and volume as he claims it says is they are buying or selling.

It crossed back over at 3:02 and now is sitting right on price on the scale. So it's essentially neutral now. Sometimes it does trend and signal a turn that day as it's 5 min. Just wasn't much of a turn today.

Co-ask.

I really don't know for sure, but I think it means that they sold more than bought and the market maker will have to buy back into balance.
