Investment-Grade Debt vs. Treasuries and Stock Market ImplicatioIntroduction: The ratio between investment-grade corporate debt (LQD) and 3-7 Year Treasuries (IEI) serves as a key measure of market liquidity, carrying important implications for the stock market. When this LQD-to-IEI ratio rises, it indicates stronger market liquidity, typically reducing the risk of a stock market downturn. Monitoring this ratio can provide early signals on the market’s broader risk environment. Analysis: Liquidity Signal: A rising LQD-to-IEI ratio reflects improved liquidity conditions, which can offer a more favorable environment for stocks by reducing systemic risk and easing funding conditions. Technical Pattern: Currently, the LQD-to-IEI ratio is approaching a potential breakout from a rounding bottom formation, which is a bullish pattern. A confirmed breakout, possibly supported by recent Federal Reserve liquidity measures, would strengthen the case for a continued stock market uptrend. Market Implications: A breakout in this ratio would indicate robust liquidity, offering a supportive backdrop for stock gains. Strong liquidity tends to encourage investment in equities, as it alleviates funding pressures and risk concerns. Conclusion: The LQD-to-IEI ratio offers a vital signal of market liquidity, with a potential breakout from its rounding bottom pattern indicating a bullish scenario for equities. If liquidity conditions remain strong, stocks could see continued support, reducing the chances of a market crash. Do you agree with this outlook on liquidity’s impact on stocks?

LQD ShortLQD just bucked a very important trend line. If investors have indeed lost confidence in corporate debt and we see follow through, then I see this as a bearish signal for stocks too. Typically the bond market is known to be correct over the equity market as large institutions with more knowledge than retail traders deal with bonds directly. To see corporate bonds give up such a well defined, key trend line, is to me a signal to be short not only on LQD but on the markets as a whole. Recently, the ramp up in stock prices was on very low volume and I can count 10 unfilled gaps on the SPY ETF. On the graph, there is one instance where we saw negative divergences but the price corrected in time rather than in price. Here, we could definitely see a correction in price as support now becomes resistance with the trend broken. I am not taking a short position on LQD directly but I do recommend taking short positions on equities through investment vehicles such as SQQQ (-3 QQQ). I am also considering on buying UGLD (x3 gold) and TMF (x3 US treasuries) as a flight to safety emerges into those safe haven assets.

Trade of the decade - short the bubble $HYG $IGEvening traders, This is a difficult one, but one that will be immensely profitable for anyone that gets the timing right. This thing is going to blowup. Could be tomorrow, could be a couple years. This one will be a historic trade, might not even be a bad idea to scoop some 2021 OTM puts on the low. It's hard to bet against a sitting president, so timing will ultimately be the trade, because there is nowhere for this to go but down.

nVidia | 60%Countercyclical Trade? Corporate Rally Before CrisisEarlier this year we prepared and then shorted nVidia after discovering the technical bubble: This bubble is now in the process of bursting. However, nothing goes to heck in a straight line, and we may have an opportunity to get long for a rebound trade before the stock continues its downturn. Watch the gaps that have formed on the 4HR, which could very well indicate where we may trade as we go back to test the support or resistance at those levels. Above 143 we are bullish, below 132 we are likely consolidating or may breakdown further. This idea follows our thinking related to the overall market measured through the Nasdaq (NDX):
