Not every recession is led by a 50% rise in crude.

But every 50% rise in crude has led a recession. pic.twitter.com/PN3vWuzQj9

2-10yr curve chart. the last 6 times we were at current levels presaged major economic and/or financial crises. during that time we have NEVER seen a simultaneous increase in oil this fast without recession. i rest my case. pic.twitter.com/Jayc7azi8i

Equity exposure has continued to unwind relentlessly. Despite relatively cleaner positioning, delevering has been orderly thus far & the lack of stress in flows has been reflected in vols. As I've noted repeatedly, ranges will be stretched here & real deleveraging hasn't hit yet. https://t.co/IfPCuKVOBJ pic.twitter.com/mQipObB36W

Here is the other count; w-2 is ending. You decide.
Don't want to ruin your bear party--but, if somehow, SPX regains back to the BLACK TREND LINE, then there is still a chance that w-3 of ED is extending. Not that it will happen, but that is something in my mind, at least. Always prepare for different scenarios.
4280--GO GET HIM!! (1) I was expecting a "kiss goodbye" of Black Line, but it doesn't have the fuel to do it; (2) expect a gap-down tmrw below 4330 to kick off the 3rd of 3rd--whatever the trigger might be. (3) holding my 3/16 puts & 3/5 [435]. My stop was 4400; never get there.
$SPX gamma flip level is estimated at 4,458. Above that level and we see dips bought and rips sold, which compresses volatility a bit. But... just a bit. pic.twitter.com/ZnvU2ln8jT
