The Bear Sips His Whiskey
Updated
After a day of trading, the bear sips his whiskey, then decides he's just way too stressed to get friskey.
He watches his charts over and over again, and then he shakes his head, before he brushes his teeth and get's ready for bed.
His paws are sweaty, and his thoughts are heavy, he knows he's probably gonna dream of that chevy, that he can't afford, because his account looks like a honda accord.
He wakes up frantic, and his bed is soaking wet, but not cause he peed, but because of the sweat.
He's anxious, he's nervous, he thinks this whole thing is coming down, but whether he's short right now or not, his fur will always be brown.
He's a bear, yes he is, and his heart is big, but if the FED shows up one more f*cking time, he may have to find a new gig.
But he ain't worried, not even for a second bro, cause the tides a'leaving, and stock are in for a reckoning yo.
The bulls will be running scared, and the bears roar will be echoing loud, and if not today, or tomorrow, my fellow bears, this once in a lifetime trade will be soon be ours.
Sip.

Hey guys, a bit of humor to start the day. Not much to write home about this morning - we saw some weakness on the majors overnight, and into the open. But, most of the losses have now been erased as buy the dippers continue to pile into risk at all-time high's. We saw some weak labour market data this morning with the ADP employment change coming in at 307K vs expectations of 360k. Bond yields continue to spike, with the 10Y yield hoverig around .95. The dollar is about to see a 90 handle. Vix is back at 21 and off the lows, but we're looking at a lake right now, with no apparent interest in risk protection. It should be an interesting day as jobless claims are out tomorrow morning, and I suspect we may see a third weekly rise, which could put pressure on risk assets heading into Friday's important (November) payrolls print.As always, I appreciate your time today guys.

Interesting view of SPY on the 3 month period. Take a look at the RSI; the multi-year divergence is obvious, but the channel is particularly defined. The RSI shows potential for a major medium to long-term correction, imminently. What does this megaphone pattern have in store for us heading into year end?Comment

Seeing some weakness here as we test the 50 period MA on the 5 minute. The bulls appear to be on the verge of losing the ascending channel support. Power hour might have some fireworks in store for us. Let's see what happens next...Comment

Vix is notably off the morning's low's but looks like a boxer in the 12th round. A 50% crash in volatility in the month of November. Yes, Powell, we got the message, Ctrl + P.Comment

I think we all know bonds are about to experience some turbulence. All you have to do is look at the 10Y yield. We're up over 80% since August, and this is only the beginning...Comment

50 period MA on the hourly is sitting just below the gap fill around 362. Let's see if the bears show up at power hour...Comment

Just in time for power hour, we're seeing headlines that Pelosi and Schumer are backing the new $900 Billion stimulus bill, and are calling for the McConnell to return to the negotiating table. Yields are spiking along with stocks. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Will the farce ever end?Comment
Tomorrow morning, we'll be getting a strong view of the labour market with new jobless claims numbers, which many economists say could spike as we approach the winter season. But, all the while, with several other negative catalysts haunting valuations, stocks are defying logic, and are trading near all-time high's. I know for many traders and investors this is very frustrating. But, here's my best explination as to why this is happening: There is simply far too much money chasing far too few assets right now. Trillions in "liquidity" are flooding stocks because rates/yields are either too ZIRPish, or worse, NIRPish. There's nowhere else for the money to go. But, I would say, reality always catches up to fiction. When the momentum eventually shifts, we're going back to multiples of 15, and rates will tighten monetary conditions to the point of fracture.Comment
That's all folks! Thanks for the great chats today, and I appreciate all the continued support. I hope everyone has a peaceful and relaxing night, and I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow morning for the jobless claims print. It should be a doozy. Cheers, Michael.Related publications
