2021 is another year of violent volatility in the stocks markets globally just like 2020. All of us should therefore brace ourselves for a lot more in 2022 if this trend persists. China-theme Stocks are still relatively weak but I expect them to perform better in 2022 alongside US Stocks I wanted to provide some helpful technical charts, but the best chart by far(at least to me) is a chart of psychology, persuasion and perspective combined into one here:

So, you tell me what is the right way?!

Unusual options activity, or large volume orders in stocks, is one way to understand what whales are doing with their "smart money". It often indicates a potentially large price movement for the stock.
Here is a look at the top five active stock options from yesterday:
Top traded option for ticker in the graph
The writer of this option contract expects $Salesforce (CRM.US)$ to stay above $240 by 2022/01/21
The writer of this option contract expects $American Airlines (AAL.US)$ to drop to $17 by 2022/01/21
The writer of this option contract expects $Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras (PBR.US)$ to rise to $8 by 2022/01/21
The writer of this option contract expect $Bank of America (BAC.US)$ to rise to $30 by 2022/01/21
The writer of this option contract expect $Apple (AAPL.US)$ to maintain above $160 by 2021/12/03
How to read the chart

· Option volume indicates the number of contracts traded for the day.
· Put/Call ratio >0.7 means more the stock attracts more bears than bulls. Put/Call ratio<0.7 means the stock attracts more bulls than bears.

Asia stocks to open steady as Treasury yields jump
Asia stocks are set to open mixed after a jump in Treasury yields weighed on U.S. equities and oil extended a rally spurred by supply concerns.
Futures fell for Japan and Australia, while Hong Kong contracts rose. U.S. futures were little changed. Investors rotated out of growth stocks as the benchmark 10-year U.S. yield briefly topped 1.5% -- a level not seen since June. The tech-heavy $NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$ underperformed. The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ dipped, though economically sensitive companies advanced -- like energy, financial and smaller firms.
Senate GOP blocks bill to raise debt limit, avert shutdown
Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would suspend the debt ceiling into December 2022 and keep the government operating past Sept. 30, forcing Democrats to find a new strategy to address two fast-approaching deadlines with acute economic consequences.
Republicans refused to back the debt ceiling suspension because they say they don't approve of Democrats' plans to spend trillions as part of President Joe Biden's far-reaching economic plan.
Chasing winners pays off as Tesla propels momentum ETF to record
While major equity indexes are stuck, one exchange-traded fund that chases past winners is breaking out.
The $iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF (MTUM.US)$, which tracks stocks that have outperformed in recent months, climbed for a fifth day, surpassing its August peak to hit a fresh high. Helping buttress the gain was $Tesla (TSLA.US)$, the fund's top holding that climbed 2.2% for its 14th gain in past 16 sessions. $JPMorgan (JPM.US)$, the No. 2, advanced 2.4% to a record.
Netflix's gaming push is coming together, but lacks release date
$Netflix (NFLX.US)$ Co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos said he's thrilled with the company's efforts to expand into gaming, but timing of the plan remains foggy. The embrace of video games marks Netflix's first significant foray beyond TV shows and films
Hot-dog restaurant chain Portillo's files to go public on Nasdaq
Hot-dog restaurant chain Portilo's filed to go public as a rising number of consumer companies tap the equity markets to support growth. The company listed the size of its planned initial public offering as $100 million.
The move adds to what has been a busy year for IPOs on U.S. exchanges, particularly for consumer companies. Restaurant payments firm $Toast (TOST.US)$ and coffee chain $Dutch Bros (BROS.US)$ recently jumped in their trading debuts, while companies including Authentic Brands and $Allbirds (BIRD.US)$ are planning to go public.
TikTok tops 1 billion monthly users
More than 1 billion people use TikTok every month, according to a statement posted on the video-sharing app's website Monday. The app was the most downloaded nongame app in August 2021, according to Sensor Tower, an analytics firm.
TikTok said this summer that it plans to allow users to create longer videos, part of an effort to help its top users make more money.
Entertainment giant Endeavor to buy sports-betting business for $1.2 billion
Entertainment giant $Endeavor Group (EDR.US)$ has agreed to buy an online sports-betting business from game developer $Scientific Games (SGMS.US)$ for $1.2 billion in cash and stock, the latest deal to build on the booming U.S. sports-wagering industry.
Casino operators, sports leagues and tech and media companies have struck a wave of deals, eyeing a burgeoning sports-betting market in the U.S. that could be valued around $40 billion within a decade by some industry estimates.
Oil prices hit three-year high as gas crunch starts to affect crude market
Brent, the international benchmark, rose for a fifth straight day, adding 1.4 per cent to $79.22 a barrel. The price of Brent has advanced about 50 per cent this year and 9 per cent this month.
The current global oil supply-demand deficit is larger than expected. $Goldman Sachs (GS.US)$, one of the most influential banks in commodity markets, said it expected the rally to continue and forecast Brent to hit $90 a barrel by the end of the year, up from a previous estimate of $80.
