Thesis
Options on tech stocks haven't been this expensive since 2007, showing extreme euphoria among traders chasing the AI rally. However, the sudden and sharp slowdown in job growth introduces a massive economic risk. With tech stocks already falling ahead of the payroll release and macro tailwinds stalling, the combination of peak euphoria and a weakening economy sets up a classic mean-reversion short opportunity.
Strategy approach
Build a strategy that enters short QQQ on D1 when the CBOE Nasdaq Volatility Index (VXN) closes above its 80th percentile rank of the last 60 days while QQQ closes down >1% on the same session. Exit after a 10-day max hold or a 2% bounce from entry.
