Moves with. US large-cap stocks (24% of its variance, beta 0.40); Developed markets ex-US over US (6% of its variance, beta 0.19); Long Treasuries (3% of its variance, beta 0.10). These factors explain 32% of its daily moves over the last year, so most of what drives this fund is something else.

Technical Indicators

Quick-reference for reading the values below. Indicators combine to confirm a view — no single one is a trade signal on its own.

Trend Indicators
  • SMA 20 / 50 / 200 — price above = uptrend, below = downtrend. SMA 50 crossing SMA 200 is the golden/death cross.
  • EMA 12 / 26 — faster-reacting averages; 12 above 26 is short-term bullish.
  • MACD — bullish when MACD > signal (green badge), bearish when below. Divergence from price often precedes reversals.
  • ADX (14) — trend strength regardless of direction. <20 range, 20–25 weak trend, 25–50 trend, >50 strong trend.
  • +DI / −DI — +DI > −DI favors bulls; the reverse favors bears. Read alongside ADX.
Momentum Oscillators
  • RSI (14) — <30 oversold, >70 overbought. 40–60 is neutral; trending names can stay extreme.
  • Stochastic %K / %D — <20 oversold, >80 overbought. %K crossing %D is an early momentum signal.
  • Williams %R — inverted scale: <−80 oversold, >−20 overbought.

Oscillators work best in range-bound markets; in strong trends they give premature reversal signals.

Volume & Volatility
  • Bollinger Bands — price at upper band = overbought, lower = oversold. Narrow bands (squeeze) often precede expansion.
  • OBV — cumulative volume; rising OBV confirms uptrend, falling OBV confirms downtrend. Divergence from price is a warning.
  • Vol SMA 20 / Vol ROC — today's volume vs. 20-day average. Positive ROC with price move = conviction.
  • ATR / True Range — average daily $ move; sizing and stop-loss reference.
  • HV 20 / 30 / 60 — realized (historical) volatility. Compare to IV on the options cards: IV > HV = rich premium.

Confluence matters: trend + momentum + volume agreeing carries far more weight than any single indicator. For how these feed the spread scanner score, see the algorithm docs →

LLM Stock Analysis Report

Executive Summary

BULLISH (Confidence Level: 7/10)

Key drivers:

  • Technical signals: Bullish MACD, neutral RSI, and a range-bound ADX
  • Recent news sentiment: Neutral headlines with no significant market-moving events

Primary risks:

  • Potential range contraction due to low volatility
  • Unusual options activity could indicate insider buying or selling

Investment thesis: SWZ is trading within a defined range, supported by its low volatility. The bullish MACD and neutral RSI suggest the stock may be poised for an uptrend. However, the lack of significant news headlines and the recent neutral sentiment mean that any potential move will depend on market context.

Recent news sentiment impact: Neutral headlines have had no significant impact on the stock price, as they did not provide new information or catalysts for a directional move.

Technical Analysis

Trend Direction: Medium-term (1-3 months)

Support/Resistance Levels:

  • SMA 20: $5.96
  • SMA 50: $5.94
  • Upper Bollinger Band: $6.02

Momentum Signals:

  • MACD signal line crossover: Bullish
  • RSI interpretation: Neutral (53.22)
  • Bollinger Bands position: Neutral (range-bound)

Volume Analysis: Low volume with no significant institutional interest signals.

News & Sentiment Analysis

Recent headlines summary: Neutral news articles focusing on CEFs and sector performance.

Sentiment assessment: NEUTRAL

Catalyst identification: No significant upcoming events or earnings announcements that could impact the stock price.

Market narrative: The neutral news sentiment and lack of significant market-moving events mean that any potential move will depend on market context.

Risk & Volatility Assessment

Beta interpretation: Low risk relative to market (beta = 0.32)

Volatility regime: Current volatility is lower than historical levels, indicating a range-bound environment.

Options market signals:

  • IV rank: N/A (positive = implied richer than realized)
  • Put/call ratios: N/A (neutral)
  • Unusual activity: No significant options activity observed

Downside protection: Support levels include the SMA 20 and SMA 50, while the Bollinger Bands provide a range-bound environment.

Market Context & Positioning

Sector performance: CEFs have been trending upward, but SWZ is trading within its own defined range.

Institutional activity: Low volume with no significant institutional interest signals.

Correlation analysis: Correlated with the market (R-squared = 0.43).

Relative valuation: SWZ is trading within its historical range, indicating a fair value position.

Key Levels & Action Items

Critical price levels:

  • SMA 20: $5.96
  • Upper Bollinger Band: $6.02

Breakout/breakdown levels:

  • SMA 50: $5.94 (potential support)
  • Lower Bollinger Band: $5.90 (potential resistance)

Time-sensitive catalysts: No significant upcoming events or earnings announcements that could impact the stock price.

Risk management: Stop-loss levels and position sizing considerations should be based on the range-bound environment and potential for low volatility.

Note: This analysis provides a comprehensive review of SWZ's technical, news, and risk factors. The bullish MACD and neutral RSI suggest an uptrend potential, while the recent neutral sentiment and lack of significant market-moving events mean that any potential move will depend on market context.

Spread Scanner GPU
Full Algorithm Docs ↗

Each spread is ranked by a composite score built in three stages. Full documentation →

Stage 1 — Base Score (GPU scanner)

score = P(profit) × (credit / spread_width)
P(profit) from short leg delta (1 − |delta|), penalised above 85%. Credit uses mid-price to handle illiquid chains fairly.

Stage 2 — Skew Adjustment (±25% cap)

RR and BF (30-delta) from the persisted per-symbol skew snapshot — wing strikes picked by real greeks.delta, not a moneyness proxy. Put skew boosts bull puts, penalises bear calls. High butterfly boosts iron condors. Calendars are skew-neutral.

Stage 3 — Technical Overlay (±50% cap, 5 groups)
Group 1 · Directional Bias (±0.25)
  • RSI <40 bullish / >60 bearish
  • MACD crossover + histogram trend
  • Price vs SMA 50 & SMA 200
Group 2 · Momentum (±0.10)
  • Stochastic %K <20 / >80
  • Williams %R <−80 / >−20
Group 3 · Volatility (up to −0.25 / +0.15)
  • Blended ATR + straddle expected-move penalty
  • Bollinger Band signal (+ counter-trend penalty)
  • BB width — vol contraction boost for ICs
Group 4 · IV Regime (±0.15)
  • IV rank ≥ 75 → strong boost for credit spreads
  • IV rank < 25 → penalty (selling cheap vol)
Group 5 · Liquidity (penalty up to −0.10)
  • Min open interest across all legs
  • OI < 100 → −0.10 · OI < 500 → −0.05

score = base_score × skew_multiplier × tech_multiplier
Both multipliers are shown per spread. Beta is informational only — ATR already captures realized vol. Full algorithm documentation →

Skew (Wing IV − ATM IV)
DTE:
Wing Δ:
Metric:
Wing vs ATM
IV(put wing) − IV(ATM), in vol points

How much the OTM put trades above (or below) the at-the-money strike. Measures the height of the put-side tail relative to ATM — i.e. how expensive crash insurance is on this name.

  • Positive (typical) — wing IV > ATM IV. Standard equity put skew: portfolios bid up crash protection, so OTM puts trade richer than ATM.
  • Near zero or negative (unusual) — wing IV ≤ ATM IV. Flat or inverted put side. Common when there's no fear demand, in tightly mean-reverting names, or right after an earnings catalyst clears.
  • Percentile vs own 3-yr history: high = wings rich (good time to sell wing premium); low = wings cheap (good time to buy protection).
  • Not directional — high or low wings don't predict up or down moves. It's a price tag on tail insurance, not a forecast.
Risk Reversal
IV(call wing) − IV(put wing), equal delta on each side

Which side of the smile is the market paying up for? Measures the tilt of the surface — call skew vs put skew at matched deltas.

  • Negative (typical) — puts richer than calls. Standard equity behavior: hedging demand makes puts carry a premium. Most large-caps sit in the −1 to −5 vol-point range.
  • Strongly negative (< −5 pts) — heavy downside hedging, elevated fear, or an upcoming catalyst (earnings, FDA, macro event). Worth flagging.
  • Positive — calls richer than puts. Unusual for equities; signals bullish momentum, short-squeeze positioning, or takeover/M&A speculation.
  • Near zero — symmetric surface. Market sees roughly equal up/down risk. Rare for large-caps; more common in commodities and FX.
Reading them together

Wing-vs-ATM tells you how expensive the tails are. Risk Reversal tells you which side is favored. Combined:

  • High wing percentile + deeply negative RR → strong put bid; stress or major event priced in. Owning protection costs a premium; selling put premium is dangerous.
  • Low wing percentile + near-zero RR → complacency; insurance cheap and balanced. Good environment to add cheap downside hedges.
  • Positive RR + elevated wings → call-side fear-of-missing-out; common in squeeze setups. Upside calls expensive, downside puts not bid.

Percentile is the rank of today's reading within ~3 years of this symbol's own history. High percentile = wings are rich relative to history; not a directional signal. Skew is read off the chain in real time, not from CBOE SKEW.

Fundamentals

Quarterly filings sourced from SEC 10-Q / 10-K reports. TTM tiles aggregate the most recent four quarters; bars show the last ~12 quarters oldest → newest.

Metrics
  • Revenue — top-line sales. Look for consistent YoY growth; seasonal businesses need same-quarter comparisons (Q4 '24 vs Q4 '23).
  • Net Income — bottom-line profit after all expenses. Can be volatile from one-time items; red bars = net loss.
  • Diluted EPS — net income per share assuming options/converts are exercised. Direct input to the P/E ratio.
  • Operating Cash Flow — cash generated from core operations, before capex and financing. Harder to manipulate than net income; growing OCF is a quality signal.
How to read the bars
  • Sequential growth — quarter-over-quarter trend. Accelerating bars are a momentum signal.
  • YoY growth — compare to the same quarter a year earlier to remove seasonality.
  • Quality — OCF should roughly track Net Income over time. Large divergence (net income ≫ OCF) flags accruals risk.
  • Margins — scan the bar ratios: Net Income / Revenue tells you margin trend without needing a separate chart.

TTM (trailing-twelve-month) smooths seasonality and is used for the P/E calculation. Filings appear 30–90 days after the period closes.
