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.
The yield curve has inverted, how to overcome this?Content:

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.

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.
10 Year Note Yield / 10 Year NoteIt's been 234 Years since the 10-Year Bond Note deteriorated to this extent.
The United States Treasury's formation was a Year away - 1789.
9 States had ratified the US Constitution.
In order to pay for expenditures during the Revolution, Congress had only
two options: print more money or obtain loans to fund the budget deficit.
Congress became far more dependent on the printing of money, which led
to hyperinflation.
Congress lacked the authority to levy taxes - doing so would have risked
alienating an American public that had gone to war with the British over
the issue of taxation without representation for the Crown.
________________________________________________________________
The first 6 Months of 2022 have been a disaster for Bonds.
Unfortunately, it is simply just beginning.
At present, the "Disinflation Wave" is in the trade as the Media / Wall Street
ups the narrative and continues to bang the Commodity Rollover as evidence.
Typically (although we do not use History as a Guide as this is the largest
Bear Market in History, it is unprecedented as we have noted for months)
we see an 8 to 13 Month mismatch cycle for "Dis-Inflation".
Although Demand Destruction is being accelerated in Capital Stock losses,
people eat, drink, drive... consume material things required for their very
existence.
_________________________________________________________________
The most recent 4-week, 8-week, 13-week, 2year, 5-year, and 7-year auctions
were a significant failure at a time when the FED reportedly reduced their
balance sheet by $21B after a retracement for several weeks off the May 25th
outsized and front-run dump of $51B.
Meanwhile, Reverse Repurchase pools continue to swell to new all-time highs,
most recently $2.34T - earning 1.55% and safely out of perceived harm's way.
Depression concerns are clearly intensifying.
2 Year Bond Futures continue to Invert intra-day.
M1 / M2 / M3 continue to flee to the Big Lots Pool.
_________________________________________________________________
Negative GDP reinforces the Demand Destruction - Consumers will out how
Inflation peaks... Central Banks claim to want Positive Real Rates.
Consumers are rolling over, demand destruction is seeing far broader participation
as Savings / Investment / Incomes decline at the highest ROC's in decades.
This would require an outside Fed Fund Futures move, one that appears
improbable for the near term.
I'd like Ashley Trevort Twins - Seems improbable as well.
The difference is, that the odds favor my wish. The Bond Market will retrace in
select points on the Yield Curve, but ultimately the Negative real rate to
Inflation will find its Afterburner.

Entities are not going to step up, this is clear.
The ticking insolvency bomb fuse was lit in early 2021...
How long is that fuse?
Not long.
Equities remain the Capital stock to destroy, Housing / Alt Coins / Metals ... etal
are not long for this environment.
In order for Global Central Banks to meet their stated objectives... they'll need to
become far more aggressive.
Will they...
Mid Year Update: Part 1: 10 Year Rates:Mid-Year Update: Part 1: Bonds/Rates:
I begin each year looking at monthly perspective charts of Equity, Rates, Commodities and DXY. Those posts can be found in their entirety, with extensive fundamental support, in the links below. I will update views on the four markets over the next few weeks.
The early 2022 the conclusions were:
- Bonds: A bull market defined by a broad declining channel, but rising inflation could easily change the trend. The most likely catalyst to end keep rates below 3.25% would be a financial accident created by higher rates.
-Equities: SPX remains in a technical bull market and there are no overtly bearish behaviors evident in the longest perspectives. However short term weakness could easily morph into a bear market.
-Commodities: Goldman Sachs Commodities index is in the center of a broad 14 year range, bounded essentially by the low set during the financial crisis and the resultant 2011 high. The most notable/useful current chart feature is the clear uptrend from the 2020 pandemic low. Until that uptrend is broken, the most immediate trend is to higher price.
-US Dollar: The wide macro range, 70.70 - 121.02 has contained price action over most of my trading career but volatility is more cyclical than price. These periods of low vol. set up conditions that often lead to explosive moves.
Reminder: Bond bull and bear markets are defined by the PRICE trend. In other words, a bull market in bonds = rising bond prices and falling yields.
10 Year:
Monthly:
- In January bonds broke above the 40 year downtrend that had defined the bull market. The break of the downtrend moves the structural long term trend from bullish to neutral.
-A monthly close above the 3.25% pivot would begin to define a long term structural bear.
- Initial targets above the pivot are found at 5.29% (the 2007 pivot high) and 6.27%, (.382 retracement of the entire bull market).
-The monthly MACD oscillator generated a long term sell signal (in December of 2020 at roughly 90 bps). Until this sell signal resolves, place less weight on buy signals generated in lower perspective (daily and weekly) time frames.
Weekly: The combination of very strong resistance, overbought MACD and bad seasonals suggest that a counter trend weekly perspective rally or consolidation is becoming likely.
-Testing very strong resistance while overbought both in terms of price and momentum. It wouldn't be surprising to see a testing probe of 3.50% but its clear that buyers (expecting lower yields) are becoming more active.
-The Mid-June spike above 3.25% left a thrust rejection that suggested strong handed sellers entering.
-Weekly MACD is threatening to roll over.
-Bond prices have very strong seasonal tendencies, weak into the May - June time frame, stronger into the middle of September, and weak into the end of the year. We are into the period where bonds transition from weakness to strength.
-While it’s clear that the trend lower in inflation has inflected higher, potential weekly perspective inflection points in commodities and energy should relieve some of the short term inflation angst and by extrapolation the pressure on bond prices.
-Major yield highs are almost always the result of a financial accident with systemic ramifications. I don't think crypto is a big enough market to qualify and other than the widening high yield spreads I don't sense much going on in this regard.
-Ten Year TIPS breakeven rates are on the verge of generating a MACD month perspective sell signal (suggesting lower expectations for future inflation). This is a direct reflection of the recent declines in energy and commodities. A TIPS sell signal would be very supportive of lower nominal 10 year rates.
Bottom Line: The long term structural bull market is dead, but the market has yet to establish a new structural bear. Unless there is a systemic catalyst, Weekly perspective rallies, particularly into the fourth quarter, should be viewed as selling opportunities.
