Biggest Drop since 2008 - Right After our Post 🙄Good that I always TRUST my Charts:
US Government Bonds 10 YR Yield has dropped 'nicely' since my last post, which was 'against the stream' since when i posted it Powell was being extra-Hawkish and situation was different.
News:
The yield on the 2-year Treasury note fell sharply on Friday as the shutdown of Silicon Valley Bank sparked a flight to safer assets such as government bonds.
The yield shed at least 46 basis points over a two-day period, a sudden decline not seen since September 2008 , when the markets were in the throes of the global financial crisis. Perhaps by no coincidence, the flight to bond safety this week was caused by the biggest bank failure since the financial crisis.
These were supposed to be 'Good news', rates could ease and markets (and crypto) could do better but unfortunately it all happened for the wrong reasons: Some Banks going bust.
Better check my other posts today.
Everything changes FAST so watch out for the CPI tomorrow: If inflation is better the Feds are saved...if inflation persists we could ALL be in DEEP trouble.

DXYOne more support for bull case scenario for NIFTY is DXY closing below 106 level. Till it below 106, long side may have better risk reward in case of Indian stocks. Two things are to be looked into DXY below 106 and VIX below 16. That will surely help bulls. One more important parameter is to be watched for is 10 Year G-Sec. It must stay below 7.50% for any upside in Indian Markets.
United States 10-Year Bond Yield - AT RESISTANCE 🤨👎Massive level of resistance has played out and Stocks could power higher as Treasury yields and dollar might ease further.
4,22% has been a Major Support/Resistance level (S/R as you can see on the chart) and the prices down have dropped even lower, below the psychological 4%
What does that mean?
When US government bond yields are on resistance, meaning they have reached a point where they are likely to reverse direction, it can have a significant impact on various aspects of the economy and financial markets.
One of the most immediate effects could be on the stock market. Higher bond yields could lead to a sell-off in equities as investors may shift their money from riskier assets to safer ones like bonds. This could result in a temporary decline in the stock market and a potential increase in market volatility.
The impact on the broader economy is more nuanced. Higher bond yields can lead to higher borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, which can slow down economic growth. However, if the bond yields are rising due to a strong economic outlook, it could be a sign of healthy economic expansion, which could offset the negative impact of higher borrowing costs.
The Federal Reserve's monetary policy could also be affected by rising bond yields. If the Fed believes that rising bond yields could lead to an economic slowdown, it may adjust its policy by lowering interest rates or increasing its asset purchases to keep borrowing costs low and support economic growth.
In summary, when US government bond yields are on resistance, it could have a significant impact on various aspects of the economy and financial markets. It could result in a temporary decline in the stock market, higher borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, and potential adjustments to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
What's next?
🆘 The Feds are lots of data to watch out for:
📌 Fed Chair Powell speaks on Tuesday/Wednesday
📌 JOLTs job data on Wednesday
📌 Fed Beige Book on Wednesday
📌 Fed’s Barr speaks on Thursday
📌 February jobs report on Friday
📌 Final week of Q4 earnings
Hopefully, this is a good sign to see a further rebound in the markets and a more dovish Federal Reserve.. unless they are aiming for chaos in which case they intend to raise rates over the 6%

30Y US Bonds signal a correction for SPXAs you can see for the past 9 years 30 year US government bonds was in positive correlation with S&P. The correlation is not 1:1 but about 80% of the times they move together. Two incidents where they were separated was March 2020 Covid event and the subsequent bull run. Even during most of the massive bull run they moved together but a drop in 30 year yields translated as smaller corrections for SPX.
30 year yields have always been moving in a range and currently we have reached the top of that range. Based on the previous cycles we can expect 30Y yields to start traveling down towards the bottom of the range while dragging SPX down with it.
As we are in a different situation now than 2021 where there was an abundance of liquidity I expect this next cycle of bottoming impacting SPX more than those bullish times.
I don't mean that this will be a cataclysmic event that will crash and burn the markets but it will the beginning of a volatile sideways move in markets. And per my previous idea I expect SPX to come down around 3650 or lower during this phase.
The economical factors that will be deciding the size of these corrections will be FED's determination in QT and individual company performances.
DXY |US10Y |T-NOTE BOND |DECRYPTERS HI people welcome to Decrypters
So We have 3 charts DXY , US10Y & T-NOTE BOND
THE LINK BETWEEN 3 CHARTS IS VERY BASIC
Lets Discuss BONDS first
The Bonds are About to Decrease in value Now bonds consist of 3 things
1-Face value (Principal Investment)
2-Maturity ( Pay back time, lets say 5 yrs )
3-Copoun rate ( Interest on Face value, lets say 7 % )
The interest on coupon will be 7% per year for 5 years At where bond will be Mature.
Now there is a Basic rule of Supply & Demand of Economics if a Bond prices fall the yield will Rise , Which Also means USD will be strengthen
Why This Happens ? Simple , Because Govs is willing to pay High for less Bond value , Meaning An investor can get higher yields By paying less bond prices
This Also may "INDICATES" The direction of economy and investors confidence which Is key for interest Rates
Weak USD, But Be Aware Of Pullbacks- Elliott WaveTechnically speaking, we see 10 year US notes coming higher, but seen in a fifth wave of a bullish reversal while DXY is falling back to the lows most likely hunting stops that were placed after NFP. But focus should be Powell words from last Wednesday, when he was not that hawkish anymore, so even good jobs data may not change his decisions.
How low can bonds go?Months ago, when 10 year bond futures were still 175, this weekly head and shoulders pattern jumped out at me. It looked so big and so bad I almost didn't want to believe it could play out.
Now, as we approach 135, this massive, fully triggered pattern may be the best indication of where bonds are headed: 125.
Sure, they could bounce a few times as they have done on the way down, but ultimately June 2011 lows are the likely stopping point on this decline.
BONUS: As you can see, I didn't count the massive March 2020 wick or include it in the measured move. Better to be prepared for the UB to overshoot the 125 target by a little or a lot before staging any meaningful comeback.
Four decades of downtrend has broken - Yield / Interest RateAll the fixed tenure yields have broken above their four decades of downtrend. - 2yr, 5yr, 10 yr & 30yr
To note, the shorter end, the fixed 2 year tenure yield is climbing faster than the longer end, the U.S. fixed 30 year tenure government bond yield.
The year closing, it will be crucial to determine the trend transition; from this long-term downtend to uptrend.

1. Difference between interest rate and yield?
i. Interest rates are a benchmark for borrowers and
ii. Yields are for lenders. For eg. investors to the U.S. government
iii. Both interest rates and yields move in tandem together
3. Why is it important to note yield inversion?
i. For eg. - when the return on a 30-years yield is lower than the 2-year yield, that indicates a
ii. For lenders or investors – a pessimistic outlook, a reluctance to commit their money to the longer-term bond, they prefer short-term deposits as the market is unclear in the long-term.
iii. For borrowers – most individuals or companies have shorter-term borrowing, for eg a 2 years fixed rate or a bridging loan. When the yields are inverted, suddenly they find them paying more on interest rates repayment.
Since interest rates and yields move in tandem, expect the shorter-term lending rates to go higher. This will hurt companies and individuals who have higher leverage items on their books.
If you are into shorter-term trading, do look into the market with live feed data.
I am starting an inflation series, in the next video tutorial, we will discuss why inflation is happening not just in U.S. but all around the world.
Micro 10 Years Yield Futures
0.001 = US$1
3.488 = 3488 x US$1 = US$3,488
3188 to 3488 = 300 x US$1 = US$300
10Y Getting Ready to Turn Down (for what)I'm tracking the 10Y very closely.
Why? Because 10Y is the driver of all equities. If 10Y DUMPS, equities and crypto go up.
So, is 10Y close to topping out?
I'm seeing a trendbreak and new high, so a correction is coming, that will test the low of the bigger up trend channel.
stay tuned.

DXY/ZN Ratio Chart - USD Is Nearing Target Against 10Y US NotesThe longer-term trend and the cycle of the USD in a comparison with 10Y US notes ( DXY /ZN ratio chart). It can slow down later this year or in 2023, but if there will be recession, then USD can face another big leg up before an important shift occurs. GBP could stay weak in the meantime and it can even retest the 2020 lows first.
Be humble and trade smart!
All the best!
Did the bond market fail?Over the last few months the 10yr bond market has been developing a long term inverted head and shoulder pattern. This was suggesting a test of the 200dma may be coming up soon and yields would continue to come down. However, today we saw a massive bearish engulfing and a move that almost wiped out last week’s entire move higher. This aggressive move lower in the notes, also dropped back below the inverted head and shoulder pattern neckline after a rejection of the 50% retracement. This false upside breakout could leave bulls holding the bag. The risk (now) is that bonds continue to slide back to the 50dma and yields continue to rally. This could affect the USDJPY as that pair has been very sensitive to the move in 10yr yields.
