Worst case scenario - VXX fills the morning gap down as we know, always keep dry powder Vix Scams are back to trading normal again. S&P futures down 4.5 and SCAMs are down nicely. lol Morning gap fill I can see (maybe) -- but will take a lot of hard selling to get them to go solid in the green and stay green. Any pop in them should be met with more short selling. IMO I will be scalping and taking profits and trading more today...

Also, walnut - wanted to ask you
I was going over the daily drop rates formula
So for this month (March), spot vix is factored in but for next month (April), spot vix is not factored in
Is that absolutely correct?

SP500 looks like it is about back on the original February trend line (which is still too steep). Maybe things can get back to "normal"?

VXX still stronger than you would think, we have had contango >= 13 for a month and VXX moving up the whole time. This ought to drop to 16.30 if acting "normally".

Last week was definitely an abnormal trading week for VIX SCAMs and definitely threw me off. Why they traded up with rising ES baffles me and its not like SCAMs reached up to fill gap. I like that they're back to normal trading and I like the fact that even with all this selling in S&P, they hardly budge to the upside and even are red while S&P is red. The VIX SCAMs that we've known and love. lol

I hope you are right but I am not so sure. Everyone is thinking "blow off top" and I can see why. I don't think it is here yet but it might be coming. And VXX traders are reacting to that.

Watch the blue rising support for VXX - nothing to be nervous about with the way markets keep rising. Just watch for small bounce, pause. IMO And VXX should be testing it very shortly. And even if S&P sells, it will take a lot for VIX SCAMs to rise. IMO VXX upload an image

VXX just tagged blue line and I still see them dropping further but watch for a little bounce, pause at this spot VXX 17.66 Need VXX to break below that blue line -- then I would like to see VXX get below 17.51, then 17.24. If VXX does all that, then should retest all time low 16.76. IMO VXX 15 min free pic

6000 short VXX
Probably too early. Scams like to come up just before lunch a lot of the days.
