$TVIX$ $UVIX$ $DECP$  By Lawrence G. McMillan A week ago, it seemed that $SPX had a renewed upside momentum, as it was making new all- time highs and internal indicators were improving. But there has been no follow-through this week, and it seems that bullish momentum has been lost. The "culprit" seems to be an increase in T-Bond rates, although that hasn't mattered much before. Even so, the $SPX chart remains positive as long as $SPX remains above support at 7600-7620 (the previous all-time highs). The pullback this week nearly reached that level and was a minor test of that support. There is now resistance at 7744 (where a gap was closed on the $

$TVIX$ $UVIX$ $DECP$  By Lawrence G. McMillan After the monster rally of 400 points in just a few days in early August, $SPX took a few days to consolidate. Now it is making new all-time highs once again. There should be some support in that consolidation area (7700-7800), with stronger support at the old highs (7620). There is also a gap at the 7600 level which would act as support as well. There has been a good deal of reluctance on the part of the investment community to climb on board this northbound train. But it finally looks like put buying is slowing down, and the rally is spreading out to more and more issues (i.e., breadth is improving).

"Stock God" Leopold was margin-called and forced to transfer his holdings — Citadel Securities swooped in and picked them up at a bargain price. The very next day, the market rebounded sharply with a massive surge. There's something worth reminding everyone about: Citadel Securities acquired Morgan Stanley's options market-making business in 2025 and is likely the largest options market maker in the market today. As we all know, options liquidity is provided by market makers, so Leopold's large block buy orders were essentially visible chips in the eyes of the market makers. This reminds me of the old saying — "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." The large block trades I've been tracking might just be fat lambs waiting to be sheared in the eyes of the market makers

I. Fundamentals: Long-Term Visibility Improves, Valuation Attractive SK Hynix is signing more amended long-term agreements with hyperscale data center customers, covering both DDR5 and NAND. Contract terms exceed five years, with approximately 60–70% of expected volume/pricing already locked in, significantly boosting future earnings visibility — this serves as micro-level confirmation of the large-capex-backed memory storage thesis. This earnings report is expected to deliver unprecedented operating profit exceeding 100 trillion won. Yet, with such strong expectations, the stock has still plunged dramatically, indicating that near-term market sentiment has completely broken down. II. Volatility Estimates and Scenarios Monday's pre-market reference price was 154.57, with implied movement o

The biggest difference between this week and last: negative sentiment toward memory chips is finally spreading widely. Last week was "buy the dip with full confidence"; but after CXMT's listing Monday, plus news of mass-produced Chinese DUV, fears of surging supply crushed an already fragile uptrend. For some names, a monthly pullback has turned into a quarterly one, and panic is fully setting in. Yet Tuesday's semiconductor crash didn't drag the broad market down—which, to me, isn't a good sign. Last week someone traded 70,000 contracts of the Aug 19 29 call$VIX 20260819 29.0 CALL$  . If the market won't correct even now, what is this VIX call betting on? Surely not a rate hike at Wednesday's FOMC?

$SK hynix(SKHY)$ In the current range-bound market, U.S.-listed SK Hynix has a key weapon that the Hong Kong-listed 7709 $CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07709)$ lacks: options! The Hong Kong ticker can only trade the underlying stock for price differences, while U.S.-listed SKHY allows you to Sell Puts during high volatility, turning range-bound movement directly into cash flow. Indeed, we've seen many large Sell Put orders over the past two days. Why is now particularly suitable for Selling Puts? SK Hynix reports earnings on 7/29, and pre-earnings IV has been pushed very high, making premiums especially rich. In addition, while the memory sector may not rally much in the short term, its long

I haven't written an article in a long time, and choosing to pick up the pen today feels rather meaningful—Big Tech's valuations got collectively marked down on this day, because the nature of their business has changed, from asset-light to asset-heavy. Some may remember the HALO (heavy assets, low obsolescence) concept that Goldman Sachs championed in the first half of the year. As it turns out, HALO just means "hard to die"—it doesn't mean "won't fall." When Big Tech collectively goes HALO, the broad market falls, and when the market falls, all stocks get dragged down with it. But on Thursday, semiconductor stocks—especially memory chips—held up remarkably well, because memory is the party being paid: it absorbs the cash flow coming from the HALO names. So when other stocks get marked do

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ A week of major pullback. SPY target remains the same as last week — looking at 710–720. Speaking of which, here's something interesting: software ETF saw a massive bullish (expiration-day) call order last Friday. This week's 88 call $IGV 20260731 88.0 CALL$ opened 100,000 contracts — that's $20 million spent on weekly options. And it actually rose on Monday. So can we chase IGV? Naturally, no. Currently, semiconductors and software are seesawing — the reason is that sentiment has temporarily shifted toward the software sector, which has richer cash flows. Notably, IGV's top holding is Microsoft. There is broad consensus that this week's earnings wil
