Inflation swaps are pulling back significantly the last few days If inflation risks continue to come off the table with growth at current levels, this meltup will continue for a while

@fxevolution Yeah, agree

People wonder how the markets keep going up. This Is How, Volume Is Crazy…. $SMH $SOXS $SPY $NDX

@amitisinvesting @Hedgeye Definitely

@Hedgeye to be fair, most would have sold when that $25K became $50K the idea of holding a name that long for that return through all the chaos is just not something many would do kinda reduces your fomo when you realize you wouldn’t have been able to hold 😂

A $25,000 investment in Sandisk one year ago would be $1,061,115 today.

@AndreasSteno True

So, now all of the alarmists (from the past couple of months) will start buying into the market. Maybe it is time to rethink the bullishness in coming weeks/months?

Assista!!!

When I wrote back in early April and really banged the drums on the semiconductor trade, little did I know that my extremely aggressive "catch up" target was actually too defensive haha. I admittedly did not alter my portfolio enough in this direction, but I have captured a good part of this upside via various bets in this sector. "We continue to believe there is 25 to 50% upside remaining in the semiconductor catch up story after the ceasefire, especially now that there is increasing visibility and some light at the end of the tunnel for helium deliveries to TSMC, Hynix, and Samsung." The easy part of the trade is over now, as there is no longer a risk premium related to the war, which was evidently there and huge in size during March, which is why I wrote what I did in the quote. The next legs of this trade will be a little less uniform and more about finding the right expressions. Learn about my favourites @RealVision Pro Macro.

Diversification is the enemy of exceptional returns

@Bluekurtic Nice chart

This is an incredible rally in semiconductors. $SMH has stayed overbought (RSI > 70) for 16 straight days, tied for the longest streak on record (Oct 2025). One more day tomorrow, and it makes history again.

Exatamente. Vejo muita gente que prefere perder dinheiro do que mudar de opinião.

This bull market officially made it to 100% in 3.5 years. Looking at other bulls that made it to a double and it is perfectly normal to see potentially years left of the bull market.

@options_insight True

This is one of the most reliable post-earnings setups in the market, and it's invisible to anyone not watching the skew. Setup: a stock is rallying into earnings. Skew shifts hard toward calls. Implied vol on upside strikes is bid. Retail and momentum funds are piling into upside calls. What's happening underneath: dealers are short those calls. To hedge, they buy stock. Lots of it. The stock keeps grinding higher, partly because of the dealer demand. Earnings prints. Even if the number is decent, vol gets smashed. That's mechanical — earnings vol always resets. Now the dealers have a problem. The calls they're short have just lost their Greeks. The delta on those calls is collapsing ... so what was a 30-delta call yesterday is a 10-delta call this morning. The stock they bought to hedge those calls? They no longer need it. So they sell. If the earnings number wasn't strong enough to push the stock through those call strikes and keep the deltas alive, the unwind cascades. Vol crushed. Delta crushed. Dealer hedges dumped into the tape. The stock rolls over even though the report wasn't bad. This is why "good earnings" stocks sometimes drop 8% the next day. It isn't the news. It's the structural unwind. If you see skew piling into upside before a print, you know the setup is loaded. Whether to fade it is a separate question. But the mechanics are real, and shows up over and over. We saw it with $TSLA and are seeing it with $MSFT overnight.

@VolSignals That was a given in the morning meeting, you called it before the open

annnnnnnnd we've retraced the range 🤦‍♂️ I expected mean reversion at the open (but not in this size) my framework had/has 7155 as a key level- not only did we cross it but then we rejected it from the other side above 7155 = drift up, calm down below 7155 = question everything

If you're expecting the cash session to look like yesterday's after-hours whipsaw... don't. Going through the data live over at VS Pro >> volsignals.com/vs-pro

@spotgamma That did not last long

Single stock delta is the downside driver this AM. -$2bn is size... 30-day low is -$4bn for day

@spotgamma No time for puts

What is going on

@VolSignals It definitely does haha

Correct positions + hedging knowledge feels like a having a crystal ball sometimes 🎯

August Brent up ~20% in 10 days and equities still resilient. Tells you two things: 1) De-escalation w/o a reopening is losing its power to cap oil (physical market biting) 2) Equities are seeing something pretty bullish on the "other side" of this.

Vols bateu nessa tecla desde o começo da semana... Pouco movimento até quarta e explosão a partir de quinta. Por enquanto ele acertou!

@VolSignals @VSTarheels5 Sure will
