Because it's being gamed....

$svix/ $uvix

news.google.com/articles/CBMiU…
My calculated vix (red) vs hyg(yellow,inverted) vs usdcad (light blue) vs the vix....

There is some serious math and currency games to keep vix low
plopping on oil (white)
theres a correlation btw vix and price of oil
And adding dxy - theres a correlation between the vix and dxy
Adding usdeur and svix
gaming oil bleeds thru to the vix crushing volatility.

If there becomes a time oil can no longer be suppressed, we might experience a volmaggeden event.
More evidence

SQQQ is 3x inverted q's (aka short 3x)
And $SQQQ vs $TQQQ
My gut tells me its a combination of swaps with EU & Canada, gaming the vix directly w/ $UVIX and $SVIX thats held back an epic crash of US stonks....

As EU strengthens, USD weakens
The red line here is my calculation for Fed currency games

Formula is
(1/(BATS:UUP*3.3-BATS:SVIX*5)*10+0.5)/100

So who is gaming the vix?

The fed.

Clear as day.
For those of you arguing "you used the definition in the definition" (yes it includes SVIX)

Here is same chart, just UUP (usd) as yellow.

Behold the correlation....
And this is why backtests are total bullshit.

Regimes change - esp in extraordinary times.

If you dont change as the regime change you become roadkill.
The ONLY way this regime is broken - is if $OIL breaks thru - aka - supply disruption that cannot be countered by the SPR... or a material blackswan event overseas (aka EU cannot raise interest rates anymore)
Here again is my formula for the vix (deep red)
it tracked the vix very well....but something changed....
Since sept in nearly exactly tracks HYG
and the vix (purple) is tracking OPPOSITE....
And another perspective
This red line (1) represents my interest rate power function.

As Bonds++, the longer the duration, the higher the impact to the currency....except...this is not happening...prolly b/c of #swap's

TVC:US30Y*5+TVC:US20Y*4+TVC:US10Y*3+TVC:US05Y*2+TVC:US01Y
The markets are broken and likely?

By design...
and?
By the fed.

#GoldenAgeOfFraud

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_ma…
And what i see happening - as Canada raises interest rates, i see vix following right along

Regime change in that box.

$Vix hits single digits?

(note inverted scales)
The oscillations in $SVIX are getting bigger and bigger
and jPan's fingers look like they are all over it...
And it almost looks like the $vix itself has become a currency.....

Notice its movements relative to other currencies.
Now im going to add a mind blower - i literally been noodling on this all year (if you followed me, im sorry - this is quite a puzzle im trying to solve)

A while back, i noticed this...
volatilityshares.com/wp-content/upl…

You will also note i follow swaps very closely.
There were at least 4 major swaps friday morning

My gut is now telling me UVIX/SVIX are conduits to enable these swaps - aka - foreign CB's use UVIX/SVIX to rebalance interest rates - it is THE mechanism to move currencies and rebalance DXY
Here $DXY is in purple
And here adding $SVIX and $UVIX
Remember UVIX is the inverse long term vix contracts
and SVIX is the 1:1 short contracts
And stepping back - US wealth is concentrated in STONKS.

Which means, Fed wants to balance and use that giant pile of $$ in currency markets.

These vix tools allow the fed to leverage/hedge US stonks vs global currencies/global bond markets.

What do you think?
more - now look at currencies vs bonds.

How would they do this relative to ea other?
I looked at fed and treasury holdings - they aint got shit other currencies on their books.

So how else would they keep these all in sync?

SVIX / UVIX.

and this is so important - how do you stop vol? by making goddam sure that every opposing country moves their interest rates RELATIVE to each other so there is no sudden shock to system where there is a massive change in rates.

Read this 100x to make sure you understand that.
and if you want heavy math, go here
federalreserve.gov/econres/ifdp/f…
So why now? Hasnt SVIX and UVIX been out there forever?

well, no.
globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
My suspicion is that those vol tools that blew up were also CB sponsored;So deep diving Feb 2018 volmageddon (1) event- what really happened?
jPan (the worlds bond police) sold both US and EU bonds (2,3) to try to stop oil from spiking (4).
The result?

DXY xploded
DXY++ = VOL++
So, after all this... step back...


Who?

The vix can be gamed on any side if the participant is big enuf.

Is this a CB hedge? MM hedge?

You look 360 degrees at this.... wtf is going on?

Its wednesday.

Lets break your brain again.

This is a currency thread.
🧵👇
This is complex, so clear your mind, get some coffee and relax.

You are in charge of a country call it "MyCountry" with a currency called "Denaro's"

In the past you invested heavily to build your factories and vities to make things as efficient (read low cost) as possible.
Now you want to increase trade.

What do you do?

You weaken your currency - now, your products compared to the world are cheaper than anywhere else.

Your orders explode.

If i didnt leave america when i did I would have never understood the global trading system or currencies.

You benefit from my knowledge as I share what I have learned.

This is more of that.

This is a currency thread.
👇🧵


Globalization has been a disaster for the american worker.

Globalization has ONLY been enabled thru currency manipulation by US trading parterners to create an inequitable trading balance, which puts massive downward pressure on US wages and jobs.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/spee…
Yes, your shoes and clothes cost a little less - but the people in US who used to produce those products are now "public charges" and a burden on the American social system.

Not everyone can "learn to code" or be doctors or engineers.

Many honest folks just want to clock in, make money, and go home.

So i was thinking - "man, the euro sure did change in value quite rapidly. EU cant afford to buy back that debt like that....this was an external state actor....

I wonder who that could be?"

To explain, if you earn USD and you live in EU?

Life right now sucks.
🧵👇 Image
if you are a europee and you wanna go vacation?

The world is your oyster....especially asia.

You can buy a LOT in asia.

Currencies are pairs, or ratios.

2nd chart EURVND is inverted - again proving my oint, currencies are pairs.

You get nearly 30000 vnd for 1 of your europees.Image
Image
But i wonder "who the fuck dumped EUR debt to do this". Either the ECB bought back debt (they cant) or someone international said "Fuck this im out"

Something happened March 4th that spooked the EU bond market.

Probably rate cuts. Image

This is the vix.

👇🧵 Image
The vix is a MAJOR component of the EU$ system.

This is the formula for the EU$.

I have to invert the vix for you to see the correlation clearly.

(FX:USDJPY-1/CAPITALCOM:OIL_CRUDE*2)/FX_IDC:USDGBP/(FX_IDC:USDEUR*0.576)/(TVC:VIX*0.000001)/24000000 Image
The EU$ is made up of oil, interest rates, currencies and volatility.

Every single component of the EU$ is actively managed by central banks.

Here is the vix, vs SPY, vs the formula (green)

2nd chart zoomed in.

My EU$ formula models the market with greater than an r2 of .96 Image

The US is going to ban Chinese ADR's.
Its coming.

Trump needs more leverage, and this will be part of that leverage.

In prior administration he already started the process...he's going to cut china off from US capital markets completely.
🧵👇 Image
What the hell is an adr?

You can easily find them in finviz.com
just go to filter and select ADR

This is a currency/trade/capital flows thread.

Stay with me - you will like this, but its complex....

Genomics is the study of DNA, and the RELATIONSHIPS (pay attn to that) of those genes and how they interact with each other.

👇🧵
DNA is like the instruction manual for building that castle. It tells your body how to grow and what it should look like. It's like a super long, twisty ladder inside tiny parts of you called cells.
Genes are like the special LEGO bricks in the instruction manual. Each gene has instructions for a specific part of you, like your eye color or how tall you might grow.
