TLT weakness & bond weakness, TLT down to $132TLT is a 20+ year bond ETF that made strong highs throughout the rate-cutting cycle and rightfully so. The inversion of bonds vs the equity market has caused bond yields to drop and because of that since the price of bonds is directly inversely correlated to their yields, prices in TLT and other bonds have been increasing. The low rates have come to a halt as the rate-cutting cycle has stopped, or so we think it has. TLT has since then entered a downtrend in a channel and looks to be continuing in that respect. Bond yields are so low, that the convergence with the SPX is imminent, we've seen a slow increase in yields which will further push the price of TLT down. Another factor is that the equity market is continuously showing strength and looks to be on the rise for the next few months based on FED policy to pump more money into the economy. The volume on TLTto the upside has decreased as well and every swing lower is accompanied by strong volume.

Looking for More Downside Pressure on Gold because of the YeldsGold declined 0.63% against the USD and closed at $ 1459.26 per ounce on Friday, amid strength in the US dollar. In the Asian session, the pair XAU/USD is trading around $ 1465. Gold traders are going to continue to follow the movement in US Treasury yields and the direction of the U.S. Dollar this week. Of particular interest will be the 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds reaction to the 2.06 percent yield (the high from August). Taking out this level could trigger a steep break in gold. On the technical picture, given the series of doji’s, hammers and pin bars around the resistance 1519.65 it was apparent the level was a key focal point. Therefore, we warn that any weak break of this level increased the odds that price action remains in a complex correction. Yet it didn’t even break before bearish momentum returned. The yellow metal is showing convergence with its 20-day MA and trading below its 50-day moving average on the hourly chart. Furthermore, on the daily chart the 20-day MA has crossed below the 50-day MA and both of them are now pointing lower. As the long-term bias is for an eventual break to new highs, the bearish bias is over the near-term, and will later seek evidence the correction from the 1557.07 high is nearing completion. The bearish channel can be used to aid with profit objectives. If a deeper correction extend, we can also use the bullish trend line from the August low. That said, the 1381.91 -1400 zone should also be considered as potential support along the way. Potential catalysts that could influence the price action next days are U.S.-China trade relations, reports on U.S. consumer inflation and retail sales, and two-days of testimony by Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell.

TLT Inverse Bond Play Before MeetingThe play for OTM calls on TLT right now is a good risk to reward for myself given the numerous positive potential outcomes. If they don't cut rates, I expect TLT to make a very nice upward move due to bond prices going up and maturity going down. If they cut rates, I still expect bond maturities to go down and for TLT to go up. With the current landscape I am feeling very comfortable with the prices I got for my OTM calls and the ROI. I'll update later today after the meeting which is less than two hours away currently. Happy trading everyone, try and be as positive of an impact as you can be everyday. Good luck with any of your plays today -golddolphin

10Y US TREASURY NOTE|PREMIUM[LONG-TERM]YIELD ANALYSIS|PART 2/2"US10y : Series on Bonds - Sept 20th 2019(7-8 minute read) For the past couple of month yield curves, particularly the 10 year vs the short term maturities have been a popular topic in the mainstream media, mostly because of the yield curve inversion . This analysis aims to provide a well detailed approach to some of the crucial factors regarding the US Treasuries yield curve. Relatively to part one(linked below as #1), this is a much more complex analysis. Before I start analysing the yield on the US10 year treasury, addressing some of the criticism from my previous analysis that they are too complex to understand. If it takes me several hours and even days or weeks to notice a pattern, it should take at least 30 mins to properly understand my charts. Most people on this platform have an unrealistic expectation of understanding an unknown method of chart analysing within 30 seconds . In this yield analysis I am utilizing Elliott Waves, Pitchfork Trends, Ichimoku cloud , Harmonic Patterns and EMA/Moving averages in addition to my fundamental approach. Beginning with this analysis by analysing the pitchfork . It is the most complex and largest part of the analysis. It took me about a month to perfect it and from my thorough understanding, the pitchfork base formed after the mild early 90's recession(w) . You can see my initial sketch for this analysis here: ibb.co To my credit, the same pattern can be observed after the FED rates breakout from bullish cone in my previous analysis on the cycles of FED rates(linked as #2) . It is hard to understand the yield curve without a through understand of monetary policy. I will get back to this point on the pitchfork later in the conclusions. After the dot.com bubble, a bullish triangle( wedge ) formed in the US10Y . This pattern lasted until the real beginning of the recovery in 2012, after the financial crisis of 08'. At the same time it formed the bottom in yields labelled as e(z), which still stands as the main support. Since the recovery, thanks to Trump's tax reform , the yields managed to make a top close to the long-term resistance ~3.3% in late 2018 . However, there was a hard rejection near the 200 monthly MA and the pitchfork median . Persistently, since the early 90's, I noticed that the 100 Monthly EMA (blue line) has been the primary resistance, in addition to the ichimoku cloud. On the bearish side in yields, it is important to emphasize here the recent yield curve inversion. The significance of the latest inversion is that is that it has predicted the previous 6 recessions. Now obviously, this pattern may not occur again since we are at such low rates anyways. Personally, I do not see the yield curve as the factor foreshadowing the next recession, it is more of a symptom of a recession. The actual issues that are cooling off the global economy which obviously has a major impact on the US economy, are the downtrend in trade caused by the trade war, Brexit and the economic pessimism in the Euro Zone . I will not discuss these factors in this analysis(you can read about them in my previous posts). To conclude this analysis on the US 10 year treasury note; without a trade deal, it simply illogical to be long in this market . In addition to the drop in yields(Where's the positive correlation kicking in??), with the recent earnings miss from Fedex (FDX) and the poor performance of the transportation sectors and the rise of defensive sectors(XLU) (XLI-Linked as #3); it is very surprising that some of the cyclical equities haven't taken a major bearish hit yet . These are the fundamental factors necessary for a cycle extension and a healthier economy. In case a recession happens and that is obviously inevitable( to FED's/ECB's surprise ), from this analysis after the 10 year note breaks the current support at e(z)~1.3-1.5%, several bottom supports from the pitchfork can be observed . The US10Y is currently in a Bearish Rectangle. Contrary to the negative yields that have occured in a good number of the OECD economies, in my opinion the US yields should follow the drawn pitchfork and form a bottom close to 0, but not necessarily cross the line and turn negative in the medium term. This concludes the two part analysis on the US 10 year Treasury note. Hope that anyone reading this post found it useful and enjoyed it! |Step_Ahead_oftheMarket| P.s.

RECESSION IMPENDING?-MEDIUM TERM VOLATILITY VIX|PREMIUM ANALYSISVIX: Volatility Index - Extension to the US (SPX) Sectors Technical Analysis Series - 17th of August 2019 (9 Minute Read) As it can be observed from the chart, this is an extremely complex(Premium) volatility analysis . The purpose of this chart is to evaluate the probability and the timing of the next recession in the short to medium term. Now, let's breakdown the labels of the chart by starting with the structural build up . The purple horizontal line at the bottom(~8.6) signifies the peak of the cycle and the lowest level of volatility . The same trough in volatility can be noticed in both 2006 and the end of 2017. This is significant because, the first signs of weaknesses in the economy were noticed a year after the peak- in 2007 and 2018, respectively. Since the correction in 2018, the VIX has been building an Ascending Bullish Triangle ; that is currently on D. The top of the channel coincides with previous peaks of around ~50 (labelled with blue). A breakout confirmation of the Ascending Triangle, would be if the VIX closes above the Ichimoku cloud at ~30 ( the black line) . At the same time, the meaning of this breakout will signify the onset of the next recession. Zoomed in chart, showing the Ascending Triangle : There are 3 Fibonacci Indicators that are used in the chart and 1 pitchfork based on the ascending triangle. The Pitchfork and the vertical Fibonacci time frames are used as clues for the timing of the peak of volatility in the upcoming periods. The significance of the Fibonacci Spiral is linked with the breakout of volatility of the Ascending Triangle and a formation of a new equilibrium(by Fib Extension). Beyond Technical Analysis- Applying context to my work: In May I posted my first Wave Analysis of the SPX( #2 Link Reference down below ). It predicts that a recession is impending around Q4 2019/ Q1 2020 . Since then there have been several factors (including the Ascending Triangle in the VIX ) that have intensified the fears of a recession in the near term. Just so I do not repeat myself; some of these factors I analysed in my series about the US SPX Sectors( Link #1, Series Finale Episode #11-XLU ). The recent Yield Curve Inversions ( Link #3 ) is somewhat significant and very contributing factor that estimates a recession within 3-5 quarters of the occurrence of the inversion . This is based on my extensive readings on the literature on US yield curve inversions . Finally! The question that needs an immediate answer - Will there be a recession in the near term ? - The annoying answer is that, there is a high probability. What do I think? - We have certainly talked ourselves and formed expectations of a recession. This is quite unnatural. To the general public and the average investor, recessions are usually very unexpected ( best and most recent example are the recessions of 2008/2001 ). In a Binomial Probability Model : The most contributing factor for the current recession fears, that could reverse the fearful feelings , revitalize the economy and bring back confidence to the market would be a successful US-China Trade deal . Such deal in addition to an optimal outcome to the 2020 Election , would extend the cycle even further. In the most bullish case with a Trade Deal the VIX would continue to trade in a short range and break-off from the ascending triangle pattern. I am quite optimistic that a deal will eventually happen, otherwise President Trump will not win 2020 and a recession will be inevitable by 2021. Of course, we all know that Trump would do anything to win the next elections. >>I do not share my ideas for the likes or the views.

S&P 500, Yeild Curve, Recessions, and BitcoinThe chart below shows the yield spread between the 10yr and 3mo and 10yr and 2yr. When the spread is below 0 (colored in red), the yield curve is inverted. This has been an indicator for coming recessions. The red areas on the SPX are the recession periods. As you can see we saw an inversion last month (march). The next recession is just around the corner and this one is going to be big. With the Fed experimenting with interesting rates and propping the stock market up, and tech stocks, FANG, and the Get Big Fast strategies startups are using, the market is extremely overvalued. I think with the awareness of bitcoin now and the upcoming halving, money could pour into cryptos when stocks start to fall. The confluence of all this makes me think bitcoin will moon. The timing of the halving with a possible market crash is amazing to me. I feel excited for cryptos. I want to buy gold and bonds, safe places for my money, but the prospect of HUGE gains from the crypto market is to enticing. Either bitcoin goes to zero and I lose all my money (all the money I can afford to lose, not my savings or monthly spending) or I become much richer than my parents. Lol. Let me know what your take is on all this!

AUD/USD AU vs. US 10 -year bond yield.China Q4 GDP Growth is expected to be at the slowest pace since 2009 at 6,4% YoY. This will probably also drag AUD down because of the high export to China. Meanwhile the Australian rate will be unchanged for quite a bit, where the Housing market index is also due to fall over the curs of 2019. Australian Housing market have been rallying for long time, Now the banks are stepping in to make it harder for consumers to apply for a mortgage loan. The GDP growth is also expected to be at a steady level through out the year. The widening spread between the Bond yield´s is also an indicator of a weaker AUD. After the US 10Y bond yield crossed the AU10Y in start 2018 AUD declined throughout the year. While bond yield´s are still expected to widen, we could see a weaker AUD until mid-year. Holding short position and will add again at 0,70100 and around 0.68200 if it will go that far. meanwhile Monitoring closely the AU data.

Warning- Inverted Yield Curve likelyUS10 US02 This may not look like something to watch and you may not know about it. Only about 2% of investors understand it, however 98% of institutional traders (the “smart money”) watch it like the World Cup finals. Its the 10 year treasury yield to the 2 Year treasury yield ratio/spread. Bottomline: If it goes negative (hits the dotted yellow line) = Inverted Yield Curve = BAD for Stocks and GOOD for Bonds.. I’d reevaluate everything and have stop losses for every trade. Side note: I have no idea what it means for crypto because bitcoin did not exist the last time yield curve went inverted late 2007.
