@MarketMike Hey rookie, adjust $HYG for the dividend distribution. Otherwise your "analysis" is 100% pointless. You're welcome.





"No clean break happens. Price gets pinned, rejected, and forced to retrace." That's the narrative around the JPM collar call strike. Here's what actually happens. The call strike gets blown through 68% of the time. 17 out of 25 quarters, SPX traded above the call strike. When it breached, it went an average of 212 points above and stayed there for an average of 30 trading days. This is one of the most confidently stated and empirically wrong narratives on FinTwit. The worst misses: Q2 2020: call at 2775 → SPX hit 3234. +459 points above. 55 days above. Q4 2021: call at 4450 → SPX hit 4790. +340 points above. 54 days above. Q3 2020: call at 3230 → SPX hit 3588. +358 points above. 48 days above. The "pinning" effect people obsess over? It happened 3 times in 25 quarters. 12%. That's not a pattern — that's coincidence. "But the gamma flows create resistance." We tested daily returns when SPX was within 2% of the call strike vs when it was far away. No deceleration. Permutation p = 0.64. Nothing. Then we ran the real test. We simulated 10,000 random levels placed at the same % out of the money as the collar. A random number gets breached 71% of the time. The collar gets breached 68%. The difference is zero (p = 0.84). The collar is ~$22B in notional. The S&P 500 is a $45 trillion market. FinTwit is claiming that 0.05% of the market creates a "hard ceiling" for the other 99.95%. The current Q2 call strike is 6865. If SPX approaches that level this quarter (and it will), the base rate says 68% chance it breaks through. Don't let someone else's narrative keep you out of the trade. $SPX $SPY $JPM






In December we published a quantitative analysis of every midterm election cycle since 1966. Four months in, 7 of 9 predictions confirmed. Zero failed. The model absorbed a U.S.-Iran war, a 43-day government shutdown, and oil above $119/bbl, none of which were in the historical dataset. What it got right: → Rate direction as the #1 variable, every major move in 2026 has been a rates story → Shallower drawdowns in second-term midterms — the -9.92% Feb-March drawdown vs the -20.5% first-term average → Front-loaded volatility with back-loaded returns; Feb-March selloff, April all-time highs → Gold as the hedge — up 68% YoY at $4,852/oz → Inflation as the key risk, CPI hit 3.3% in March via oil, exactly the mechanism we flagged On the drawdown: our data shows second-term midterms average a -7.6% max drawdown for the entire year. We've already printed -9.92% under extreme conditions. Based on the historical pattern, that was likely the drawdown for 2026. One caveat: midterm seasonality shows June as the weakest month at -2.49% on average. A shallow 3-5% pullback into early summer wouldn't violate the model. It would set up the Q3 buying opportunity we identified. Two predictions still pending. The January-to-May rate window closes in two weeks. If the 10Y holds at or below 4.26%, the bullish second-term pattern stays fully intact. Full analysis and link to article below. $SPY $QQQ $GLD $VIX x.com/alphaticaio/st…
