As for TVIX/UVXY, if the VIX has floored in the 17s - with sp'2020, then from here on.. into early October.. things are about to get 'real interesting'.
*I have no position in VIX, but will look to pick up a VIX call block early next week.
VIX in the 30s - by mid Oct' looks an easy target. The real question is whether we'll see 40s.. or 50s again.
Best guess.... 40/45... by mid Oct'. with sp'1820.
As ever... one day at a time!
