They are so low that they cannot go much lower. Moves lower do not even say anything about rates of change. The technical damage is so brutal that a vast swath of stocks are tumbling in short to medium term downtrends. I am bullish only in anticipation of the inevitable bounce, but the rally will likely serve as another opportunity for slower hands to dump their inventory of stocks and ETFs.

The index was mostly downhill from there for a 15-month low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/181220_SP500.png\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) lost another 1.6% for a 15-month low.\" class=\"wp-image-46570\"\/><figcaption>The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) lost another 1.6% for a 15-month low.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The NASDAQ and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) sold off for 1.6% and 1.5% losses and 14 and 15-month lows respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/181220_NASDAQ.png\" alt=\"The NASDAQ lost 1.6% for a 14-month low.\" class=\"wp-image-46568\"\/><figcaption>The NASDAQ lost 1.6% for a 14-month low.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/181220_QQQ.png\" alt=\"The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) lost 1.5% and closed at a 13-month low.\" class=\"wp-image-46569\"\/><figcaption>The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) lost 1.5% and closed at a 13-month low.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) reached a very important low. The 2-year low brings the index of small cap stocks within sniffing range of a complete reversal of its post-election gains. The day after the U.S. Presidential election IWM surged for a 3.8% gain and a close of 122.54. IWM has gone from an astounding 41.2% gain since that close at its last all-time high to a mere 7.5% gain. That plunged occurred in less than 4 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/181220_IWM.png\" alt=\"The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) continued an unabated plunge to a 2-year low.\" class=\"wp-image-46567\"\/><figcaption>The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) continued an unabated plunge to a 2-year low.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The volatility index, the VIX, provided one &#8220;bright&#8221; spot for the oversold period. It finally showed a relatively greater level of fear; it is the kind of higher volatility I would expect for a sell-off which is worse and more back-breaking than the other sell-offs of 2018. The VIX finally punched through 26 and even hit 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/181220_VIX.png\" alt=\"The volatility index, the VIX, finally broke through the 26 barrier and even hit 30 at one point.

For example, I bought some puts in ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (UVXY). I held on buying SPY call options because I already own ProShares Ultra S&amp;P500 (SSO). I am thus in no rush. I might add more shares, but I will wait on the calls until I see some evidence of buying interest&#8230;or of course if the market delivers a truly outsized spike in the VIX, like a 20%+ 1-day gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CHART REVIEWS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carnival Cruise<\/strong> (CCL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CCL reported earnings and delivered all sorts of bad news.
