VIX: Final Gap Up

The VIX has been following a pattern similar to what occurred between 2007 and 2008 as shown in the VIX 2023 Outlook. On November 23, 2022 the VIX filled its August 22, 2022 gap. This is similar to what occurred between January 27, 2022 and February 12, 2020 as shown in the 2020 chart below. The VIX is currently in the process of repeating the final gap up that is similar to what occurred on February 18, 2020. This would mean that the Dow / SP500 would be expected to start a significant decline this week.

Crude Oil: 12 Point Structure

Since April 2020 Crude Oil has developed a 12 point structure (shown below) that is similar to what was developed between January 2007 and February 2008 due to the $2 Trillion Cares Act that was signed on March 27, 2020. Two years and 3 months after the Cares Act was signed inflation pushed the Consumer Price Index 12-month percentage change up to 9.1% in June 2022. Crude Oil is expected to continue moving higher as it did in 2008 due the next wave of inflation in 2023 caused by the $1.9 Trillion American Rescue Plan that was signed on March 11, 2021.

Dow /VIX: Filling VIX Gap

Over the last three trading days daily engrbytrade™ Dow calculations indicate Market Makers have been distributing (selling) very large blocks of stock as the Dow moves higher. This distribution process is expected to continue until the VIX gap (created on August 22, 2022) has been filled. This means the VIX will need to drop below 21.27 before moving higher.  The Dow futures gap created on 8/21/22 was filled on November 10, 2022.

Dow: 33,686

As noted on October 21, 2022 the Dow moved within a primary target range of 32,210 (+/- 1 %) on October 27, 2022. It also hit a secondary target range of 33,043 (+/-1%) with a high of 33,000 in the futures on October 28, 2022. A brief move up to 33,686 in the Dow futures 15-minute chart is expected to close the gap created on August 21, 2022. This move would be similar to the Dow 15-minute futures structure developed between December 30, 2021 and January 5, 2022 before a meaningful decline starts.
