Don here...
Something's not right in the market…
…And in today's video, I explain why I'm buying volatility heading into next week.
Let me add some context.
Sure, we rallied 100 points on Friday after Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech. Yet, we're basically massively unchanged for the week.
But…why?
It all comes down to technology companies, the stocks holding up the market.
-
Meta got absolutely pummeled—went from all-time highs to oversold in days
-
The NASDAQ finished the week LOWER despite the Fed rally
-
Microsoft couldn't even crawl back to its expected move
However, the VIX just dropped down toward 14, its lowest level for 2025…in late August.
Historically, this is when volatility explodes, not disappears.
Now, NVIDIA reports earnings next Wednesday with only a $13 expected move priced in.
This is the $4.4 trillion gorilla that could "rock them all". And the options market is treating it like a non-event.
Right now, the S&P is still trapped in that 200-point volatility box I've been tracking (6250-6450). We popped our head outside briefly, but couldn't sustain it.
If we lose 6450 next week, we're heading straight back to 6250.
The setup is there. The catalyst is coming. The only question is whether you'll be positioned for what happens when this artificial calm explodes.
