Post 19th Thesis

Telah dikemas kini
Okay, this is based off the previously posted "19th" thesis.

  • red-arrow-down icon represents the 19th drop
  • green-arrow-up icons represent follow-on ATH


Issues
* Januarys' ATH is arguably Decembers' tail-end
* February peak has been $458

Risks:
* Long term trend (white triangle) indicates continued declines
* Either until March 1st to be optimistic
* or until March 14th if taking into consideration a further drop to 42x

Assumptions
* 42x is the floor.
* we have not reached February lows
* we continue to resist at 44X

Opportunities
* if 43x is the floor, we will begin the breakout between February 22nd (end of day) until March 1st +

A cautionary example recently is September, where the 19th drop continued after a small bump, all the way to October 4th.

In that example, it took 10 days to rally from 43x to 44x (almost two weeks).

Final Thoughts
* If holding calls, it would be reasonable to seek relief on a bounce, as Theta decay will kill them until the recovery.
* it is still reasonable to purchase calls throughout any continued drop or side-ways trading, as 44X will be within range.
* it is a risk to hold puts.


As you can see, this is not a short-term, day-trading thesis, and began in January ATH with the assumption we will continue a cycle of the 19th downturns.

That thesis has seen the SPY fall from $479 -> $428 between January 4th and 27th (with the first major drop happening on the 19th).

From this perspective, the Thesis is successful for a $50 drop, and puts should have printed hard by now.

Day trading would burn on the inter-week swings.

Do we call a bottom? No we don't. We exit put profits throughout the month until the 18th, and begin purchasing calls in anticipation of the 43x bounce-back.

With the hope it will bounce to an ATH.

Aside from accumulating and holding calls for the next 20-30 days, we will re-enter the "19th" thesis at our next either ATH (48X+) or Inter-month / quarterly high ($458).

Key Indicators: MSFT AAPL, which providing contradictory trends.
The gut says we will see the drop to 42x.
Nota
See latest snapshot, where we have a more aggressive drop, bringing the bottom date to February 24th (first star).
