Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

100pt up move on the FTSE100 on Fri, just about when the new Lawyer turned banker ECB head was speaking and sending EU markets down... Was that UK business cheering and giving Brussels the finger?

Jason Goepfert prediction seems to be echoed by Jim Carney, the CEO of Parplus Partners, a hedge fund that focuses on trading strategies linked to volatility. He is certain that an upswing in volatility is inevitable.

both views are in line with the fundamentals which indicate that market players have over-projected PEs by 14%. A spike of 50% in VIX would equate to 10% to 12% fall in the S&P500.

37 during the Feb 18 2018 sell-off
36 during the Dec24 2018 sell-off
23 during Trump election
32 during BREXIT referendum
