According to technical analisis it should recover as after 2008 and even more so according to fundamental analasis , the economy is much more stable then in 2008 according to my opinion at least and I am a beginner . tnx

My guess is to wait for a fractalized confirmation on an up move based coincident with the Vix topping out. The move won’t be super long but maybe long enough to make some money on a September bull put spread, especially since I have that idea supported by the 61.8 retracement of the 2008 bottom to the latest top. I have no clue what to do then…. will just have to keep looking for the pitch. Of course I might lose on this one but it is pretty tight and the premiums give some ease to the bet.
