SBV oscillator started to advance and advanced
above minus 33% after being below this level based on the 60-day SBV(20) chart. This
reveals that there is a chance for an up-move.
Very solid buying volume
accumulation, huge buying volume surges and absence of the selling volume point
to the higher odds of a recovery as well. |

SBV oscillator started to advance and advanced
above minus 33% after being below this level based on the 60-day SBV(20) chart. This
reveals that there is a chance for an up-move.
Another important fact is that advancing SBV oscillators combined with
huge buying volume accumulation over the last 2 months and the absence of the
selling volume make us assume that we may see further development of the
mid-term up-trend. |

reveals that there is a chance for a correction down.
SBV oscillator declined below 20% after being above this level based on the 15-day SBV(16) chart. This
reveals that there is a chance for an up-move. |

In this example, we have based our
QQQQ options trade
on the Nasdaq 100 volume indicators. Using the principles outlined above, you may
wish to trade options on the SPY, ^SPX, DIAMONDS (DIA). It is also conceivable
that an analysis similar to the one shown below could be used to trade options
based on the NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, and other indexes.
