This is a technical analysis of the QQQ index. The analyst discusses the VIX term structure, noting it is typically upward sloping indicating a normal and stable market. However, during market volatility the VIX term structure can flip. The new strategy aims to identify times when the VIX term structure is nearing contango in order to get long on QQQ. The strategy intends to side-step major market turmoil by exiting QQQ as the VIX term structure approaches backwardation. The plan is to upload historical data from 2011 through 2025 into ChatGPT, focusing on VIX-VIX9D and using a 5 EMA filter for the QQQ. This will help better understand returns and side-step volatility, creating a volatility barometer.
