The "bear trap" & "bull trap" concept using the volume profile POC is very useful in intra-day trading also

Especially in the futures where the buyer & sellers are zero-sum game, for every long there is a short

Supply & demand balances at major sup/res zone is KEY to any trading https://twitter.com/kerberos007/status/1119739192383295489
Important concept

The above volume profiles were built on the fly

On April 21:
the upper POC profile was built before the breakdown in price; the lower part was empty
The lower part was built after the liquidation

On April 22:
the lower POC was built before the breaking out
April 23 - Close

Perfect text book support held right at Today's POC.

#ES_F Line in the sand = 2780 for AH overnight session

I marked all the important levels:

Yesterday POC
Yesterday VAH
Today's POC
10day SMA

You might have a different POC dependent on your start time
breaking🧐

Another POC bear trap overnight

One more chance to learn the bull/bear trap

Some algos made some pocket changes playing the same game again & again against the retails

April 23 = Bull trap
April 24 ON = Bear trap

If you missed the breakout bar, wait for the retest

AAII bullish and Bearish weekly sentiment survey
from 2010 to 2020

green = bullish
red = bearish
blue = 5-period SMA (spread) = bullish - bearish

anybody can find any patterns or correlations with $SPX weekly price?
Latest AAII sentiment survey data:

People becoming more bearish and less bullish in April stock ramp.

Contrarian or shrewdness? 🧐🤔

we shall see next week.
Quiz?

Not to outdone the AAII sentiment survey

below is a better sentiment indicator for the BTF-fear strategy

When this indi penetrates the capitulation zone (black line) then move above it, time to join the party

Using trailing stop to lock in partial profit & ride the rest
Need more confirmations, confluences, etc

A completely non-correlated breadth indicator X would be another great confirmation leading indicator for $BTF-capitulation.

I love confluences & confirmations.

weekend quiz?
Relative performance

Ranking since May 2017:

FANG-MAN = FB AAPL NFLX GOOGL MSFT AMZN NVDA

1 FANG-MAN up 101%
2 XLK up 61.7%
3 XLY up 24.5%
4 SPX up 18.7%
5 XLP up 6.8%
6 RSP (equal weight) flat
7 XLF down -8.1%

Market can't go up with XLF & RSP lagging this much🧐
AAII Sentiment survey update:

(Bullish - Bearish) spread just reached a cycle low last week.

See the contrarian nature of this indicator.

Dec, Jan, Feb = Green = bullish > bearish
Mar, Apr, May = Red = bearish > bullish
AAII sentiment survey chart from 2010 to 2020:

Interesting:

1 notice all the "bull-bear spread lows" in the past?
(huge pessimism)

2 just before a major up-trend..

3. this time is different? (not good) 🤔🧐
Don't panic. bears

I trust more on what they DO, not what they SAY

what they do? CNN fear & Greed index from the trading
what they say? AAII survey

When in conflict, trust

1 CNN fear & greed index
2 $VIX & VX furures term structure
3 Equity Put/Call ratio
4 Volume divergence
The above "what they do" list, showing:

1 neutral (CNN)
2 complacent (VIX TS)
3 "mild" greed (Equity PCR & Volume divergence)

Plus many breadth divergences
- most important hidden sentiment: what smart money has been doing under the radar

I report, you decide. 🧐😎
below thread in Jan leading to the market crash in Feb/Mar

F&G reached 97 (intra-day 98) on Jan 2🧐

In Fed we trust
Repo & notQE in full swing
near ZIRP
Tons of liquidity
SPX won't be allowed to drop 10 pts in election year
In Trump we trust
FOMO buy👌😷 https://twitter.com/kerberos007/status/1210628983055945730
May 8 - short term Greed

#VIX9D = 24.89
$VIX = 27.98
$VVIX = 115.65
$SKEW = 132.21

Contango Term Structure = short-term greed

#VIX9D < $VIX Contango

#VIX3M < #VIX6M Contango
#VIX6M > #VIX1Y Backwardation
Below is much more accurate than AAII sentiment survey from my backtesting

Total Equity Put/Call ratio from all 16 options exchanges.

not CBOE put/call ratio that I post everyday

CBOE is about 12% of all equity options & 98% of all Index options https://twitter.com/kerberos007/status/1254097955029749761
CBOE Call/Put Ratio (PCR reversed) 10d SMA

Euphoria and capitulation zones defined.

Not as accurate as above "total equity call/put ratio", but, a very good contrarian indicator around the turning levels.

Need confluence from other cross-asset & breadth & sentiment indicators
Total equity call/put ratio from 16 exchanges

Updated as of Fri, May 8 2020

neutral & complacent

BTFD at capitulation zone is more accurate than top picking

Top picking need other confluence from cross-asset & breadth & sentiment indicators. (I have more than 50+ combined)
ISEE Call/Put ratio: 10d sma
MMs & firm trades, excluded, are not considered representative of true market sentiment due to their specialized nature. ISEE method allows for a more accurate measure of true investor sentiment than traditional P/C ratios

Now higher than Dec & Jan
Interesting $USO chart.

Reverse-split adjusted price.

$950 in Oct 2007 - amazing.

and the volume last week? 30x avg volume (20 day)

See above thread regarding

1 CBOE p/c ratios (index, total, equity, ETP)
2 ISEE c/p ratio
3 total equity c/p ratio from all 16 exchg

I have new corr proof that $SPX is highly correlated with CBOE $CPCE (equity p/c ratio) as shown below.

As good as $VIX from 512d to 10d corr
Correlation table with other cross assets

512-day to 10-day correlation.

$AUD_I index ( #AUDUSD also) is the new FX correlation star: highly correlated with $SPX from 128d to 30d

$HYG $VIX $TVIX & $UVXY are no brainer.
In statistics, the phrase "correlation does not imply causation" refers to inability to legitimately deduce a cause&effect relationship between 2 variables solely on the basis of an observed correlation

But, In trading, if you add more corre confluence, finding divergences👌🧐💯
1 drawback of below corr matrix is: it can only display a single corr period

2 Need a 3D to see the corr overtime, finding the divergence from the norm in shorter timeframe

3 A corr table with diff periods among assets would easily spot div in real-time https://twitter.com/kerberos007/status/1212532772344147974
SPX:AUD chart: Friday's close.

More visual to spot the divergences and the "capitulation" & "euphoria" zones over time

A: 3 regression lines for more confluence
B: Euphoria zone in Dec, Jan & Feb
C: Capitulation Zone in Feb & Mar
D: Current position relative to the past 90 days
Trade the correlation/regression charts in swing & day/scalping trading

1 for swing trading, look for divergences in daily chart
2 for scalping, if last 10 days' dots were near regression line (correlated), looking for divergence in 15-min, confirmed by more cross-asset diverg🧐
AAII bullish and Bearish weekly sentiment survey
from 2010 to 2020

6/5/2020 = Extreme Bearish

green = bullish
red = bearish
blue = 5-period SMA (spread) = bullish - bearish
AAII Sentiment survey update: 6/5/2020

(Bullish - Bearish) spread reached another cycle low last few weeks.

Since March, AAII survey turned "red"

🦃Super-duper "bullish" in Dec & Jan. 🦃
Above AAII sentiment survey was "what they say"

Below CNN fear & greed indicator is "what they do"

Opposite direction. You decide

Fear & Greed Index = 66 = Greed 🦃

This thread from the top contains some useful info and million $ trading tips 👌🙃🤫
Alert: Maximum Optimism: FOMO

Below is a more accurate ind than AAII sentiment survey from my backtesting: I am biased

Total equity call/put ratio from all 16 exchanges

not CBOE P/C ratio that I post daily

CBOE is about 14% of all equity options

All-In Maximum Optimism 🦃🦃
Alert: Maximum optimism

ISEE C/P ratio: 10d sma

MM & firm trades, excluded, are not considered representative of true market sentiment due to their specialized nature. ISEE method allows for a more accurate measure of true investor sentiment than traditional P/C ratios

All-in
To sum it up

Why would market crash?

1 "maximum FOMO optimism" just before the crash
2 irratianal exuberance drives stonks super overvaluation
3 taxi drivers all-in buying stonk calls
4 smart money on the other side waiting patiently
5 wealth transfer https://twitter.com/kerberos007/status/1267991509128937472
Derivatives are zero-sum games

$ES_F fut & stonk options are derivatives

For every buyer there is a seller

Who are on the other side of the trades?
dealers & smart money

When retails FOMO buying #ES_F & calls, smart money with deep pocket would just wait for the rug pull
For $VIX regression lines

Capitulation Zone
Euphoria Zone
Current prices relative to the past 90-days
