COACHES TRADING THOUGHTS

China is the focus with the ripple down affect of Chinese Yuan.  To learn more about Chinese currency war, effect click here for our video.

Only reversal indicator showing now is VIX outside bollinger band. When it dips back into the band, it could find bearish retracement to kiss off the 2070 level or so on SPX. Other than that, watch out for followthrough with volatile days ahead. Fed rate increase predictor dropped from over 50% to 25%.  Watch oil looking for a bottom. Markets are down for the year so far. I welcome the VIX volatility; premiums are higher on options, so use them to hedge and set up covered calls against stocks while it’s there.
