This is the main way to explain how T2108 can drop so deeply on a simple 1% decline on the S&#038;P 500 with 50DMA support intact. In other words, T2108 is extra sensitive to material moves in the stock market.<\/p>\n<p>With T2108 at the bottom of its recent trading range (measuring from January) and the S&#038;P 500 floating above its very reliable 50DMA support, conditions are setup for yet another bounce and chop upward to another marginal all-time high by July. Moreover, the numerous &#8220;pricks&#8221; of this 50DMA support since December suggest that another dip below the 50DMA will be temporary and deliver another buying opportunity for quick-handed traders. Working in the favor of such a trade should be a T2108 which would be ever closer to overbought and its low for the year. This catalyst becomes doubly powerful if the 200DMA gets retested: T2108 will certainly be at or beyond the oversold threshold by then.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my Tuesday morning bearishness, I could not pull the trigger on ProShares Ultra S&#038;P500 (SSO) put options. Instead, I grabbed a fresh tranche of call options on ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY). I went out to the June monthly to accommodate the potential for a major volatility-positive event going into summer. With currency markets providing a notable wildcard, I think volatility is exposing a surprisingly high level of complacency.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28531\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/150526_VIX.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/150526_VIX.png\" alt=\"Volatility surges 16% but remains well within the confines of the steady downtrend from January&#039;s highs\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/150526_VIX.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/150526_VIX-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volatility surges 16% but remains well within the confines of the steady downtrend from January&#8217;s highs<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>I made two other notable bearish moves: put options on Apple (AAPL) and iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology (IBB). <\/p>\n<p>The move on AAPL turned into a daytrade as the drop in the stock proved sufficient to take a 2.5x gain on the puts.

This bearishness was beaten back once IBB managed to gap higher above its 50DMA. As of Friday, the comeback took IBB back to the marginal all-time high from April that did NOT invalidate the topping action from March (a gap and crap at all-time highs on high volume and confirmed by subsequent selling). So, given my bearish bias, it seemed like a good spot to try put options again on IBB. So far, so good.
