IEF: Holding on to an Established Trendline at the 0.382 RetraceThe IEF (US 7-10 year Treasury ETF), has held on to the 0.382 Fibonacci Retrace aligning with a Long-term and Established Trend line and the 200-Month Simple Moving Average with high amounts of MACD Bullish Divergence and a move above the 0 line on the Oscillators. All of these factors point towards lower yields in the 7-10 Year Treasuries and an increase in par value on the bonds themselves. Bullish setups can also be found in other duration ETFs such as the TLT and SHY representing the 20 Year and the 1-3 Year Bonds. I suspect that all this Bullishness on Bonds will come with the Uninverting of the Yield Curve, which may align in commodities blasting off much higher in the short term, but in the long term could result in the resetting of the Bullish Cycle in Equities and Commodities alike.

Yields are Yelling: Recession is comingIt looks like we are turning over. Coupled with gigantic short positioning of speculators on bonds (highest in history bsed on the COT Data), the chart indicates that yields will fall again. Why would they fall? Because of a flight to saftey and/or a recession. I am keeping it very simple, I just buy Bonds via ETF. I am long TLT, IEF and SHY. With that trade, I am also long USD, since my native currency is EUR. If we have a weekly close above 3,5% on the US10Y, I will exit my positions. It might also be lucrative to go short stocks now, but I wont do that too much. This might be a great trade, but I am viewing it as a set up for an even better one. We might get a great opportunity to buy stocks soon.

The Pure Short Interest Rate Play: /GEThe long interest rate play may have been one of the most productive plays of, oh, the last five years or so (maybe more) with shorts in (pick your poison) SHY (1-3 year maturity paper), IEF (7-10), TLT (20+), EMB (emerging market), HYG (junk) being the rage, particularly with the Fed giving the market a fairly good idea of the when. Unfortunately, the point at which the Fed starts considering easing is -- at least at this point -- more fuzzy both in terms of timing and the terminal rate at which we end similarly covered in fur. That being said, it's good to be prepared and to look at the who's, what's, when's, and where's of where you might take the purest form of a bet that rates ease from that point forward and that (at least in my little noggin) is with /GE. Pictured here is /GE, where you can see how fabulous the short was from basically ZIRP to where we are today, with the box wrapped around a potential terminal rate of between 5.25% and 5.75%. My basic notion here is to long /GE in some fashion in this area or ultimately where the terminal rate ends up, particularly when the Fed gives us some sense of the "when" of a potential cut. Chairman Powell has indicated a lack of likelihood for a 2023 cut with the CME Fed Watch Tool reflecting that to some minor extent,* but -- as we've seen repeatedly -- the landscape (inflation, unemployment, yada yada) can change, so the terminal rate may end up slightly (or not so slightly) different from current expectations of 500-550 bps and the timing of any eventual cuts slightly (or not so slightly) different from the markets thoughts on the matter. * -- Currently, the Tool indicates that the market is leaning (but somewhat equivocally) toward a small potential cut in June, but is looking more toward the end of the year toward potential cuts at the moment (i.e., at the November and December meetings) which are similarly equivocal.

Short to C wave, but im a buyer of the DipsI'm both a bull and a bear on the 20yr treasury etf (TLT).. I created a long term buy analysis basis on the bullish cypher pattern I see forming at the conclusion of D leg. I like the yield of the 20yr treasury bond which is over 4%.. The dividend yield on the 20yr Treasury etf is 2.49% currently, and I expect it to rise. The dividend is paid monthly. I see the yield rising as the price of TLT declines . I see the dividend yield potentially rising to 4% , that would be an outstanding monthly yield for long term holders. You can also sell puts here, or calls to generate revenue. Long term buyer, and Call writer (which will lower my cost basis, and return use the upfront premium to buy more shares of this etf, further increasing the yield and dividends)

2's 10's INVERSION - THE TRUTH😲 2's 10's INVERSIO N😲 A journalist's favourite recession indicator, the “2’s 10’s curve” inverted earlier this month… As the story goes, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 within 12-24months 😲 👉 But this time… it’s different 😅 Here’s the chart -> (FRED-FRED:T10Y2Y) To clarify, I’m not saying there won’t be a recession, or NSDQ100 crash, in fact it’s a real possibility. But the 2’s 10’s chart is not a good indicator to rely on. WHAT IS THE YEILD CURVE ⤴ The yield curve is just a curve plotted on a graph of the interest paid on debt. The X-axis being the duration of the debt (e.g. a 2yr loan and 3yr loan etc.) and the Y-axis being the interest (e.g. 1%, 2%, 3% etc.). 2️⃣ - 2’s is shorthand for the 2 year US Treasury Note (a 2 year loan to the US gov.) 🔟 - 10’s is shorthand for the 10 year US Treasury Note. 🤔 HOW STRANGE It’s an odd phenomenon that a shorter term loan could pay higher interest than a longer term loan - because why would someone want to lend money for a longer time at a lower interest rate 🤷 But this - otherwise accurate signal for a recession - is no longer credible as a market indicator. Currently the yield curve is (heavily) distorted, with central banks around the world purchasing their own bonds (treasury notes). On top of that the FED has clearly stated they expect the funding rate to get to about 3% in 2023 - but expects a long term rate of 2.5%. So the FED is indicating intentional inversion. It’s possible the yield curve could continue flattening or inverting, further fuelling these “recession imminent” articles. It's good to remember a small inversion is not a concern in this case. There are clear signals of what will trigger a recession, I'll cover those in a future post. (remember to add me to a Watchlist to be notified) HOW COULD YOU TRADE THIS You could short the SHY and go long IEF or TLT to take advantage of the curve normalising over time. In fact, from here, the IEF looks good even without the $SHY short position (saving fees and keeping capital free)

0% interest rate = Short Bonds! I may be jumping the gun here, but with the emergency rate cut. we are going to have to cut the rates some more next fomc meeting, and as the situation progress and with the way trump is whining about fed rate cuts. there a high chance of certainty that they will eventually cut the rate to 0%, especially as corona cases get serious and hits 1 million. it's currently at 90k right now but there's without a doubt it will suppress 1 million. i am looking to buy puts for 2021 and continue to double down if it keeps going up. Kinda like Michael Burry from "The Big Short" i will borrow money to keep doubling down if i have to! ITS A BOND BUBBLE!!!!! lolz Corona virus reference nypost.com multimedia.scmp.com
