S&P 500 hits highs as all indexes gain

U.S. equity indexes surged more than half a percent yesterday after the release of positive manufacturing data. Late-session profit-taking caused a bit of a volatility pop in the last half-hour, but index gains remained firm.

The S&P 500 added 0.75 percent to close at 1419.04, slightly under its session high of 1422.38. Despite the day's lackluster volume, the SPX managed to make a new 52-week high.

The Nasdaq 100 ended the session up 1.06 percent to 2784.42, just off its session high of 2787.25. The small caps outshined the larger indexes as the Russell 2000 closed higher by 1.24 percent to settle at 840.63.

S&P 500
Resistance is now 1420, followed by yesterday's high of 1422.38 and then 1425.
Support is now 1417.43 (yesterday's afternoon low), followed by 1415 and 1412.

Nasdaq 100
Resistance is now 2787.25, followed by last Wednesday's high of 2794.
Support is now 2780, followed by Friday's high of 2774.52 and then 2770.

Russell 2000
Resistance is now 841.10, followed by 843.56 and then 847.92 (2012 high).
Support is now 837.69, followed by 835 then 830.

At the same hour, motor vehicle sales for March will be released. Domestic sales are expected to come in at 11.3 million vehicles from a range of 11.2 million to 11.5 million.

VIX futures fall with volatility index up


The CBOE Volatility Index and the S&P 500 both finished yesterday higher by slightly less than 1 percent, bucking their traditionally inverse relationship.

The VIX rose 0.9 percent to ended the session at 15.64 as the SPX rose 0.75 percent to close at 1419.04. The VIX started the session by surging above 16.50, then declined to 15 before climbing all afternoon even as the SPX did the same.

It is not unusual for the spot VIX to show relative strength on a Monday as the SPX options from which it is calculated are repriced after the weekend time decay. (See our Education section)

The VIX futures were down for most of the day but finished mixed. The April futures were up 1.2 percent to 17, while the May futures were down 0.5 percent to 18.9. June and July contracts were flat at 20.65 and 22.05 respectively.

Heavy activity in leveraged VIX fund

The ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures Fund yesterday saw its largest action since it began trading less than six months ago.

The UVXY finished yesterday at 14.52, down fractionally on the session after hitting an all-time low of $12.60 a week ago. The exchange-traded fund has fallen from above $140 in late November and above $200 in early October.

The fund aims for a return that is twice the daily return for the Short Term VIX Futures Index, which comprises the two nearest- month VIX futures with a daily roll. The normal structure of the VIX futures in contango--increasingly higher premiums in later-dated contracts--hurts the fund. While the VIX was at 15.64, the April futures were at 17 and the May contracts at 18.90.

The April 23 calls were most active, mostly selling for $0.40. The April 26 calls were next in volume and sold for $0.25. The April 24, 25, and 27 calls were all sold as well, for $0.40, $0.30, and $0.25 respectively.

This call selling is a bet that the UVXY will stay below $23 in the coming weeks. Those calls are all far out of the money, but the fund can jump quickly.

The calls may have been sold naked as a high-probability but ultimately risky trade, or they could have been traded against long shares as covered call positions. (See our Education section)

More than 4,600 UVXY options traded yesterday, compared to a daily average of 675. Calls outpaced puts by 8 to 1.

Assume all awaiting FED minutes which of course DA BOYZ already know. Now saying gas going to $4.35/gal. by end of May here. Ok. Gotta put me some hedges on, looking at xom and cvx.

[huh?]

Bulls needs an S&P move over 1415 yet today, with strength, or this could get ugly IMO.

Hope 'The Hand' is at least on call today.
