Team,

The animal spirits have taken over and long volatility players puked today! Let’s take a deeper look under the hood.

-Andrew


Equity Dashboard

71.6% advancers and a MASSIVE volatility crush across the board. The IWM small caps, which have been the laggard this entire rally, played catch up while QQQ technology lagged and closed in the red.

The IWM small caps rallied up to the three standard deviation bollinger band for the second time in three trading sessions. Every one of our tracked headline indices has tagged this level at least once over the past week.

Record Call Volume

The animal spirits are running wild. Friday marked the highest SPX notional call volume…on record. Forever is a long time!

And with this, we just recorded the lowest put/call ratio in 2 years according to Bloomberg.

Index Price Action

ES S&P 500 +.10% after hours (Above monthly value area)

NQ Nasdaq +.06% after hours (Above monthly value area)

RTY Russell 2000 +.18% after hours (Above monthly value area)

YM Dow Jones +.04% after hours (Inside monthly value area)
