The ensuing surge in volatility has lasted longer than I expected and resulted in much bigger volatility surges than I expected. I became so accustomed to seeing the market shrug off negative headlines and the growing weight of the China-U.S. trade war that I assumed this latest twist would not deliver much beyond the standard programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the S&amp;P 500 (SPY) fell quickly into a test of support at its uptrending 50-day moving average (DMA) right alongside the same test for the NASDAQ (NDX). Even the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) fell through critical support levels only to rebound and close right on top of its 50DMA. The combination looked like a well-coordinated dance.<\/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\/2019\/05\/190509_SP500.png\" alt=\"The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) sold below its 50DMA but managed to close just above this important uptrending support.\" class=\"wp-image-48146\"\/><figcaption>The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) sold below its 50DMA but managed to close just above this important uptrending support.<\/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\/2019\/05\/190509_NASDAQ.png\" alt=\"The NASDAQ (NDX) sold below its 50DMA but managed to close well above this important uptrending support.\" class=\"wp-image-48145\"\/><figcaption>The NASDAQ (NDX) sold below its 50DMA but managed to close well above this important uptrending support.<\/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\/2019\/05\/190509_IWM.png\" alt=\"The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) fell through converged 50 and 200DMA support but managed to close right on top of its 50DMA.\" class=\"wp-image-48154\"\/><figcaption>The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) fell through converged 50 and 200DMA support but managed to close right on top of its 50DMA.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These simultaneous tests of the 50DMA look like a big setup. If you are bullish, it looks like a picture-perfect pullback to buyable support. If you are bearish, it looks like the perfect fakeout to make a subsequent 50DMA breakdown more lasting. I am staying neutral and looking for confirmation of one of these scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/t2108-resource-page\/\">AT40 (T2108)<\/a>, the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 40DMAs, dropped as low as 38.1% and a 4-month low before rebounding to 45.6%. During a strong bull market, a steep drop for AT40 into the 30s is typically &#8220;good enough&#8221; to deliver a buy signal. That buy signal looks even better with AT200 (T2107), the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 200DMAs, only dropping to a 1-month low. Tentatively, I went back to the well that has been working in these situations: buy a fist full of IWM call options to sell into the next bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volatility index, the VIX, likely holds the key for the next move. After surging for three straight days &#8211; with strong fades from each intraday high &#8211; the volatility faders finally managed to push the VIX into a down day, albeit very slight. The VIX is demonstrating the beginning signs of seller&#8217;s exhaustion.<\/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\/2019\/05\/190509_VIX.png\" alt=\"The volatility index (VIX) faded sharply to close down for the first time this week.\" class=\"wp-image-48144\"\/><figcaption>The volatility index (VIX) faded sharply to close down for the first time this week.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote in <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2019\/05\/05\/t2108-update-190503\/\">the last Above the 40 post<\/a> that I took a step back to assess my latest experiences trading volatility. Ironically, my call spread on the Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY)\u00a0quickly went into the money, making me better off if I had an expiration date this Friday instead of next Friday. THIS week is the exact kind of week built for my previous strategy of keeping a rotation of UVXY call options; the call spread cut off what could have been outsized profits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to get right back to the new strategy of fading volatility with put options on UVXY. My first two tranches went to waste with expiration this Friday. My third tranche is now a kind of life saver for the profits on my UVXY call spread. I am planning to take profits on Friday as I expect volatility to strengthen ahead of a very uncertain weekend &#8211; outside some more tantalizing (and false) hope floated by the U.S. and\/or China over the deepening trade war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bearish Divergence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian dollar versus the Japanese yen (AUD\/JPY) was key in reminding me that the bearish divergence was alive and well (for a refresher on the importance of AUD\/JPY read &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2019\/04\/13\/why-australian-dollar-japanese-yen-matter-for-stock-traders\/\">Why the Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen Matter for Stock Traders<\/a>&#8220;). I expect weakness to continue into the price action from he flash crash that began the year. The continued weakness will either freshly confirm stock market weakness or build the foundation for the next bearish divergence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"883\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/190509_AUDJPY.png\" alt=\"AUD\/JPY continues to slide toward a challenge of the flash crash day that started 2019.\" class=\"wp-image-48151\"\/><figcaption>AUD\/JPY continues to slide toward a challenge of the flash crash day that started 2019.<br><strong>Source: TradingView<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stock Chart Reviews &#8211; Bearish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intel <\/strong>(INTC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2019\/04\/28\/t2108-update-190426\/\">My rush to launch my next between-earnings call buying<\/a> on Intel (INTC) was clearly premature. INTC doubled down on bad news with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intc.com\/investor-relations\/events-and-presentations\/events-calendar\/event-details\/2019\/Intel-Investor-Meeting-05-2019\/default.aspx\">the presentation of its 3-year plan<\/a>. The resulting 5.3% drop to levels last seen in late January created a bearish 200DMA breakdown. Still, rules are rules. I went ahead and bought a second tranche of INTC call options with the assumption that the lows of this year will hold. If the lows from October break down, I will start considering a purchase of shares.<\/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\/2019\/05\/190509_INTC.png\" alt=\"Intel (INTC) gapped below its 200DMA support for a 5.3% loss.\" class=\"wp-image-48143\"\/><figcaption>Intel (INTC) gapped below its 200DMA support for a 5.3% loss.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stamps.com <\/strong>(STMP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stamps.com (STMP) achieved an astonishing feat with two consecutive post-earnings one-day drops over 50%.

The company is indeed scrambling to diversify its business. From <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4261773-stamps-coms-stmp-ceo-ken-mcbride-q1-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript\">the Seeking Alpha transcript<\/a> of the earnings call:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8221; Despite the success of the USPS reseller program, we have very recently become aware that the USPS is currently renegotiating the NSAs of several of our reseller partners.

We believe that is reasonably likely that margins earned by resellers as a result of these negotiations will begin to decrease starting around the second half of 2019 and may continue to decrease in 2020 and 2021. Because we are one of the 125 organizations that have a revenue share arrangement with the resellers, the expected decreases in margins earned by the resellers will also negatively impact our financial results.<\/p><p><br>We also expect that it will directly impact the financial results of many of those approximately 125 companies&#8230;<\/p><p><br>While we do not expect the USPS to take such actions, that in our opinion are counterproductive to their own interests, they are an example of why we feel so strongly that the actions we took last quarter to diversify our carrier relationships away from our USPS-centric model, were absolutely the right business decision&#8230;<br><\/p><p>We have amassed a significant number of assets in worldwide e-commerce shipping that put us in a great position to succeed, as all of these rapidly changing global shipping trends unfold. &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is of the essence as the company is plowing ahead with more share repurchases despite being significantly underwater on the last tranche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;During Q1, we repurchased approximately 235,000 shares at a total cost of approximately $32 million.

The stock ended up with a healthy 8.5% but a gap and crap that almost tested 50DMA support.
