Episode notes
INSIGHT

Gaps And VIX Signal Short-Term Rebounds

  • News-driven gaps often get bought and reversed because price gaps usually fill after low-volume moves.
  • Chris Vermeulen says VIX spikes and 50-day moving average tests often mark short-term buying opportunities.
ADVICE

Buy Short-Term Oversold Dips Only With Plan

  • Buy oversold, short-term dips only if you are a technical short-term trader and have an exit plan.
  • Use bounces to sell into rips rather than holding through volatile gap-driven moves.
INSIGHT

  • Small- and micro-caps leading while broad sectors lag can signal a fragile, narrow rally.
  • Chris warns that such leadership often appears as a last speculative push before a wider market correction.
