Bonds Establish ValueBonds have dipped but have found support at the levels we identified yesterday. ZN retraced from relative highs at 131'02 to 130'19. It has since rebounded and is currently testing 130'26. The Kovach OBV was quite strong, but has dipped with the retracement. We appear to be forming value between 130'19 and 131'02. If this is the case, then expect further support at 130'19 and resistance at 131'02. Beware of the vacuum zone below to 130'07. The next target above is 131'12.

Gold Finds SupportGold has given up the value area between 1795 and 1815. We have fallen back from 1795 to find support in the 1770's as we anticipated yesterday. 1789 and 1784 attempted to provided some support, but we have settled at 1777. Watch for gold to make another run for relative highs at 1795. However, the Kovach OBV has dipped notably, so be careful of lower levels. We will find further support at 1770, then there is a vacuum zone to 1759.
Bonds Testing Relative HighsBonds have encroached on the upper bound of the range, hitting our target at 131'02. We have inched above that at present and are running into some resistance as identified by two triangles on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has picked up notably. If the bull bias continues watch for ZN to cross the vacuum zone to 131'12. If we pull back a bit, then watch for it to fall back to comfort in the 130's, with 130'26 being the nearest level of support.
Bond Yields to Rise again soon - heading towards 1.8%I think its fair to agree that in the long term, with interest rates expected to rise, and monetary policy tightening, that bond yields willl rise inevitably. but the question really is when.
Whilst i cant judge when that will be... i can try and get some good timings (for short positions on bonds - since bond prices are inverse to yield).
Yields should bottom out near 1.25% fairly soon... after which i would look to see the yields rise back to around 1.8 or possibly more.
Global bonds rout put central banks on the spot What a crazy market,” said Priya Misra, global head of rates strategy at TD Securities. “The 20s-30s curve is just reflecting the overall flattening theme in the market -- where central banks are forced to respond to inflation, which slows growth significantly.”
Yield-curve flattening has gained momentum across global bond markets this week as traders scrambled to price in more aggressive central-bank actions to fend off inflation. The Bank of Canada surprised investors Wednesday by abruptly ending its bond-buying stimulus program and accelerated the potential timing of future interest rate increases; the Canadian yield curve flattened sharply in response.
While declining oil prices account for some of the pullback in breakevens, “profit-taking after a very strong run over the past several weeks” was also a likely factor, said Michael Pond, head of inflation market strategy at Barclays Capital Inc.
“We might be seeing de-risking ahead of the Fed,” which has been mindful of inflation expectations and doesn’t want to appear to be behind the curve, Pond said.
Bond market volatility rocks the EuroData released Thursday showed that U.S. GDP growth slowed sharply to a 2% annualized rate in the third quarter. Meanwhile, investors continued to price in rate increases by the European Central Bank, while dismissing President Christine Lagarde’s effort to push back against such expectations.
Market expectations of higher interest rates has brought out bears, with Danske Bank strategists expecting the euro to fall to $1.10 over the next 12 months.
US10Y Signs of a bearish reversal.The US10Y has reached (and so far got rejected on) the 1.707 Resistance (1), which last time rejected the price on May 13. With the 1D RSI on a Bearish Divergence (is on Lower Highs while the actual price is on Higher Highs), similarities can be made with the February 25 - March 30 sequence, which after an RSI Bearish Divergence got rejected on the 1.775 Resistance (2) and essentially started the correction towards the 1.125 Support.
We are expecting a pull-back towards the 0.382 Fibonacci Retracement level and if broken the 0.618 level which may be even more likely as it is the top of the recent High Volatility Cluster.

Gold Under Pressure from Bonds?It appears the US 10 yr is temporarily topped out. With Gold and Silver holding up despite very bearish outlook sentiment, this catalyst could be the final barrier in the way for further upside of PMs. DXY also seems to be breaking down from weekly chart bearish ascending triangle.
*first shared idea… please forgive the lack of technical viewpoint. Just my opinion. Do your own DD, and good luck.

ZB Bullish setup 10/14/2021ZB was clearly Bullish based on the Daily bias. I was trying to sell today in NY and my position got stopped out.
ZB had a Daily sell side liquidity and formed a Bullish market structure shift on Monday but stalled till the next day, moved in Asia but I am inactive during that time. NY open Tuesday formed a Bullish OTE, and today price hit the Relative Equal Highs (Previous week highs).
Elliott Wave Analysis - US 10Y YieldWho sets interest rates? Is it the central banks... or is it the free market?
Given that the FED's dovish approach clashes directly with this forecast, it would suggest that it is the latter.
My opinion: the FED isn't a leader, but a follower of the worst kind. Consistently making mistakes at the tops and bottoms of markets. If the market pushes rates higher for long enough, the FED will follow.
TREASURY BONDS CREATING LIQUIDITY BEFORE MOVE UP?Hello my beauties.
The bonds seem to be in a strong downtrend, and the volume profile suggests that the most liquidity is actually clustered around the upwards trendline area. I suspect the price will be directed there to generate enough liquidity for the next move up.

Energy sector will go into deflationary depression crash I thinkWe are on the edge of credit bubble bursting into flames lol. All this is going to be deflationary environment NOT inflation. You can't have inflation without credit. I believe we are on the edge of commodities meltdown cause by THE GREAT RESET of the world's credit system. Not the kind of reset everyone is expecting which is inflationary. This is going to be The Great Depression 2.0 IMO...
TLT - ThunderBall as TNX trades thru 1.564139s and perhaps lower as this will begin to unravel the Equity markets as we approach the prior
highs.
The Fuse for the next leg down in the Equity Complex is being lit.
And the reason for the RUSH to Wall Streets higher FIlls.
Things are quickly coming apart in the REPO Markets as well.
This sets up the potential for a large Rug Pull...
1.71 - 1.76 and it's going to get very Sporty.
Banks are not lending, higher rates do them very little.
Savers are being torqued by Inflation as the Wood Panelers and 007s
can't seem to find a Bid for their Junk Paper.
This will get nasty in the next 10 days.
Very Nasty, they are using the lul between Expiry in VX to hoist price as far as they can
only to let it go again.
We see 15K on NQ with the Gap at 15.2K and the Ledge 15.4K.
NQ has traded the -382 of the 15399 to 14367 decline.
With tomorrow's Macro Job / Employment Report, the silliness can get out of hand quickly.
IMHO, this will end rather badly as we roll back over and begin the 200SMA assualt.
Rising Korean 10 Year Yields Getting StartedThe Korean long end broke the downtrend since 2001. Rising inflationary pressure and inflation outlook are forcing long-end liquidation that seems just getting started. a 50% retracement to 3.65% is what seems achievable and put pressure on the rest of the Asia Bond markets
Double Bottom in German Bunds, Expected Rally to 171.2Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 15-Min Chart. German Bunds (FGBL1!) formed a double bottom or W chart pattern setup after testing 169.60 support and break above 170.3 resistance. Expectations are for the uptrend to continue, with the completion of the setup being around the 171.20 price level. Failure of the setup will be observed if FGBL1! were to decline below the long term moving average, taking the price to 169.80.
Technical Indicators
During the course of the double bottom setup, the respective short (50-MA), medium (100-MA) and long (200-MA) fractal moving averages had positive crossovers. Currently the price is trading above the respective MAs. Other technical indicators are also displaying bullish signs. The RSI is trading above 50 while the KST recently had a positive crossover.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go long at market, with a stop loss at 169.80 and a target of 171.2. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 1.37.

Rotation Back into Junk Bonds & Large Caps Q4The JNK/TLT ratio chart visualizes investors' position in greed and safe bonds. An increase means more greed in the market, corresponding with an increase in equities. Based on where we are, I am expecting one last run in the stock market, reaching the top of our resistance trend-line. I have added a fractal to support this thesis.
