Speculators Betting On A Spike In The VIX

Posted: 12 Jun 2009 01:05 PM PDT

This is more of "what the..." chart more than anything tradable, but it's interesting that as of the latest release covering positions through the June 9th close, the CFTC shows that large speculators are net long VIX futures to a degree not matched in the past few years.

Normally, large speculators are more of a contrary indicator than anything when their positions reach an extreme, but that hasn't worked in the VIX.  This is a relatively new futures contract, and it can act pretty screwy when compared to the cash VIX index, but the last couple of times we saw large specs build big positions (relatively speaking) in the futures, we saw implied volatility jump over the next couple of months.

There was a temporary spike in their positions in early March of this year which was quickly reversed before volatility began to fall, but that's still kinda sorta a false signal.  Anyway, like I said, I wouldn't trade on this by any means, but it does make me raise one eyebrow just a bit.

会不会与下个星期的三重魔力日有关系?

通常三重魔力日之前的一个星期震荡非常利害,可这次却异常平静。

下个星期有可能总爆发。我观察到很多个人投资者也买了VIX CALL。

this past week, mkt makers did successfully killed many calls and puts by shaking intra-day and close around 940, Drain most leaders 3-40% option value in time decay, no one wins. the question is what do they want next week?

index daily chart, unless the volume comes back above, do not expect it go too far. I do expect something happen from end of june and around 4th of July (980-1007 as maximum), after that no way it can continue going higher with low volume.

may not happen before 4th of July, but will happen after that. the 59 day magic number after 5/7/2009.

by the way, cycle timing question, please ask NL or Creekmm, they are better than me.
