IWM & XLF working on their 05/16 closing gaps from the 05/17 gap down, but if something like SHLD can bounce >30% in a day, I doubt it matters all that much.

VIX way down now, 9.81. Contango headed over 10 soon in that case. But it often spikes a little off those 9's, so who knows.

VXX Hourly chartLooks like maybe another 3 hours of consolidation in this range and may look to break lower once again afterwards If looking to scalp, if VXX back tests 13.70 range (13.74ish-13.83ish), good spot to short little for scalp IMO  upload png

Last night when i saw the futures up 70 points i thought tvix might have some difficulty dropping as much as some would have expected. The vix futures were not really dropping and at times up.

Today, I am returning my emergency reserves to the bank as i am well out of the margin call and don't need to be tempted with using that.

Your "scalp" is the largest I've seen you trade so far by the way.

What do you think LV? I guessed the VXX close earlier. VXX up by 2 cents at the close? might get it |

I don't expect much change on the day. I expect new lows before the end of the week though.

I don't expect much change on the day. I expect new lows before the end of the week though. End of week is tomorrow - could get the move Volumes should be light and lot of people leaving early for long weekend I figured VXX was overdue for a green close today but I have to admit VIX SCAMs are a little stronger than I expected today but could just be consolidation for next leg lower |

Yeah, this close is stronger than i thought too. Might have to wait until next week for a new low.

If anything, that spike was probably a healthy one for shorts. Helps to shake out the weak hands.
