TNX - Monthly Historical Chart 40 Year ChannelThe Event which will provide relief to the Bond Complex is the Federal Reserve walking back its most recent Policy Statement. The Short End of the Curve witnessed an aggressive move of 6-9 Bips. This doesn't appear to be much on the surface of it. Unfortunately, it is. ______________________________________________________________________ The Yield Curve is not effectively communicating at either end and throughout the Curve. Far too much is made of prior Paradigms, with a real lack of understanding of the Glacial movements in the Bond Complex. 40 years is a long time - an unparalleled Bull Market in Binds coming off the Volcker Era after the Whip Inflation Now Era. Price in trend - it remains in Trebbt as the sheer largess of the Bond Market is 11X that of Equities. _______________________________________________________________________ The Risks remain to Rates rising. Hopefully - there is not a disorderly eruption as it would wreak havoc in ways we have not seen in a very long time.

Let the US yield curve guide - viewing the 2s v 5s UST curveAs we approach a world where the Fed look set to hike in March, with 3.4 hikes priced by Dec 2022- we are also now hearing an open discussion around allowing maturing securities on its $8.8t balance sheet to run off (QT) -so, it's worth going back to the Dec FOMC minutes for real insight. With the market having had time to pour over the wording, it feels clear that the key paragraph is the one highlighted on the chart - with the Fed saying that history has not been so kind when hiking into a flatter curve. This suggests that if the curve does head towards inversion - and I've chosen the 2s v 5s - then the Fed will do its utmost to counter that - this suggests: 1) the Fed desire a steeper yield curve 2) will favour QT/ balance sheet run-off if we see a flattening curve In the situation of continued high inflation, wage pressures and full employment, the Fed now have maximum optionality, but to counter the impact of higher fed funds on demand, utilising its balance sheet could be the key focus over hikes. So our central guide on the Fed's thinking will be the yield curve...and judging by the FOMC minutes if this is flattening and headed towards inversion, the lessons of 1986, 1988, 1999, and clearly 2006 are our case study by which we can wok with. So if the curve steepens and heads to 1%, the Fed will be compelled to hike concurrently with BS run off... but should if flatten then rate hikes will be priced out - This should offer excellent trading opportunities to go long US 2year Treasuries, and US rates (fed fund and ED futures) and may weigh on USDJPY initially before the market puts more weight on future relative balance sheet differentials. Gold should rally on a flatter curve. CW

SPX since 1980s & 10Y Bonds. "Manual Guide" Technical analysis !Simple manual guide to better understand the relations, if there is any, between SPX & US10Y BONDS This is combing our four last studies into one comprehensive idea to try and figure out the patterns in both instruments. Thanks for your understanding if i missed one here or there or made some mistakes here and there. *** THE KEY FOR THE WHOLE STUDY IS : Daily Golden Cross (75% success) + Weekly kissing/cross (75% success rate) 200weekly MA = 75 % success rate we will get a pullback or a correction*** ---------------------------------------------- Starting with closest,2009-2021, crashes of SPX & US10Y BONDS price at that moment. (Idea included) 2.3xx 2.5xx 2.9xx 3.4xx 3.7xx All the above #s happened during the while the rate was actually going down, in our case today the rate is going up from most extremes low. Will it continue to go up/down is beyond my knowledge/experience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ General perspective: ------------------------------ 1/ Using weekly Crosses on the US10Y have a 50-50 chance, not sensitive to the volatility of 10Y Bond. Therefore, do not come close to it :-). 2/ Since 1980 , past 41 years, we have 8 Golden & Death Crosses on the daily. 3/ Since 1980, past 41 years, there is 75 % chance to get a 20% correction or more while we are under the daily Golden Cross. 4/Since 1980, there is a 25% chance to get a 20% correction or while we are under the daily Death Cross. 5/Since 1980,past 41 years, not surprisingly we have the largest single percentage gain from a reasonable bottom before a 20% correction or more "244% up " to be exact as it is the case for all indictors since March's low all are our of the ordinary readings. 6/ as of today, we are under the "GoldenCross" = 75 % correction. 7/ we have 4 possible dats plotted on the chart for such event to take place , one of them we are already in !!! Next one is April 1, 2021. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data for Kissing/Crossing 200Weekly MA: 2017-2019? One year nothing then 11%/20% 2015-2016 : 14% 2015-9 months sideways then 12% 2015 xxxx nothing 2013-2014 Long bull move. 9% pullback. 2011- 8% 2011- 7% 2010- 17% 2005-2007 : xxx long Bull move the crash 05-6% 05- 7% 04- 8% 1999-13%/10%/13% then crash 1997- 10% the bull move. 1996-8% Choppy Market then bull move 1994-9% then big bullish market ( 1 Year choppy market) 20% 11% 7% 7% 8% 36% 14 % ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: 24 signals Kissing or Crossing 200W MA. 18 signals we went down @ kissing/crossing or Kissing/crossing happened a during pullbacks/correction 6 signals months-Year nothing happened then crash crossing down. 75% success rate we will get a pullback/correction kissing/crossing 200w MA. 25% we will continue a Bullish till crossing down then crash - 2 Years after crossing then crash 2007 -2015 cross up/down = Nothing happen to SPX !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the 80s every time we get a spike in US10Y Bonds SPX got a correction with a minimum of 20% and maximum of 57 % the question is where & when. Therefore, looking back to all the data available on Tradingview since 80s to 2021 we have measure the spike's percentage of 20% and more and the distance from the Golden Crosses & Death Crosses and showed the crash percentage as results of that. Surprisingly the weekly Golden Cross are 50-50 chance not the normal with indicators so the results are shown not plotted for the weekly. As for the daily all the work is plotted on the chart for your reference. Feel free to print, share, redistribute and publish this study for the benefit of any one out there. How to read the table below, just follow the steps: 1. Fist percentage is the gain of US10Y from the last reasonable low. 2. Second percentage is the % of the actual crashes. 3. The distance between the Gold Cross & the peak of the crash it self. 4. G.C = Golden Cross. D.C Death Cross 244 % up So far- ???? so far 144% up -20%- 305D G.C 59 % up -20%-70D G.C 70% up -57%- 20D D.C 64 % up -50%- 363D G.C (-24% Down) -22% -357D D.C xxx. 18% up -20%-78D G.C 28% up -36%- 130D G.C 43% up- -27%- 53D G.C 3 G.

Have Bonds Bottomed??Bonds have stabilized at lows, and have started to form a range, as we suggested yesterday. We have started to find value just above 128'10, and below 128'24, the exact range we identified in the last report. After plummeting two full handles since the beginning of 2022 it was time for ZN to reach some sort of equilibrium before its next move. From here we expect value to continue to form at current levels. A relief rally is not out of the question, especially after such a selloff. If so, we could make a run for the 129 handle again. There is a large vacuum zone above to 129'11, which should be considered a max upper bound at this point. The floor seems to be 128'10 for now. The Kovach OBV is still quite bearish, so there is little hope for a genuine bull rally any time soon.

$TLT selling off to $138-141 before rallying higherTLT looks to be close to finding a bottom. I could see TLT finding a bottom in the $138-141 range then basing for a couple of weeks before rallying higher in early November. Key dates and levels on the chart. My macro thesis is that we're at the start of a larger pullback in markets and money will flow to treasuries as a safety net. Dates align on both the S&P bottom and TLT top around March... Let's see how it plays out.

Yields Soar, Treasuries Smash Lows!!Bonds have tumbled off soaring yields. Rising inflation seems to be one of the key drivers, along with paradoxically increasing risk on sentiment in stocks, as the indexes are testing new highs again. ZN smashed through support in 130 handle. We saw absolutely no support from 130'00, the final barrier to the 129 handle, and even less from 129'26, the first level in the 129's. We finally bottomed out (for now) at 129'11, one of the levels we have identified months back using inverse Fibonacci Extension levels. The Kovach OBV has fallen off a cliff with the selloff, but appears to be leveling off as the price stabilizes here. Anticipate some ranging at current levels are digested. The next level down is 128'24. If we catch a relief rally, then 129'26 should provide resistance.

Bitcoin, Treasuries, USD Retesting, All Telling Same StoryWhatever your opinion of these assets, they're all behaving in a fairly similar fashion, and they all have been behaving somewhat similarly over the last 3 years. No surprise, bitcoin and foreign currencies ten to outperform when financial conditions are loose and loosening. The vice versa is likely true as financial conditions tighten. Interestingly, if you pull up the charts on an individual basis, they all are retesting flags on a technical level. That doesn't mean they won't break back up and rally, but all three showing the same sign seems to add more weight behind likelihood that markets are in for a break upward in real rates and reduced liquidity / financial conditions.

10 Year Note Yield - 2%+ Ahead Into June - AugustThe Price Objective remains 2.28%. Beyond sewing the usual seeds of discontent, observe the Larger Monthly Indications. The above Chart is of extreme importance, it demonstrates how Capital Stocks begin to turn, Glacial at first, as Momentum builds, they begin to accelerate. This will end up a 4 or 5 part series discussing the potential impacts. _____________________________________________________________________________ Price has broken above 2 Key Downtrends. It is attempting to reach the 3rd, which has acted as resistance for years. This is a material change in the underlying Bond Market Note Structure. It is no longer the conventional depository for Principal and Coupon as a great many believe. ______________________________________________________________________________ Capital Stocks are in need of review: Real Estate - the Hybrid / Principal and Coupon (Rents) A Negative correlation to Higher Rates with cascading effects to Higher Rates. A 70% increase in Conventional and Jumbo Mortgage Rates would see a 18 to 24% drop in the Price of Residential Real Estate. Equities - the Buyback / Prop where Corporate Debt is used for Buybacks Increased borrowing Costs temper Buybacks, Inflows do not. This is a double edged sword we will discuss in detail. Bitcoin - The repository (Not Depository) for excess Liquidity. BTC has a Positive correlation to rising Rates. BTC has a Price Objective near $137K at the extreme extensions for Rates of the 10 Year Note Yield. Bills / Notes / Bonds / - Debt instruments with attendant Hybrid function of Principal / Coupon. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bonds (prior to 2006) were traditionally a function of the Business Cycle which has been supplanted by the Credit Cycle (no longer a Cycle by appearances). Prior to 2008 Congress would pass a Bill in the Legislature, after speaking with the US Treasury to determine how to "Finance" its Fiscal requirements. Once the Bill was passed and signed into Law, the US Treasury would conduct operations with the Federal Reserve Central Bank in New York to issue the increased Credit/Debt (The FED taking their statutory 6% issuance) to the US Government. Bills, Note and Bonds would be placed with Primary Broker Dealers (Fed Member Banks) and offered at "Auction" to the Public, Institutions, exogenous Central Banks, Funds, Swaps and overnight Swaps for shorter duration T-Bills sweeps. This funding mechanism for DEBT no longer exists. FASB 56 - took the Governments Budgets and Funding "Dark" as a "Matter of National Security". The General Purpose Federal Financial Reports are Classified Documents. The material Facts of FASB 56 - files.fasab.gov 13 Short Pages well worth educating one's self as to how the Government conducts itself. TARP/TALF were undisclosed Operations which maintained their Shadow Financing for years. 94% of Americans were against Commercial Bank Bailouts. Privatizing Gains while publicly subsidizing losses was viewed with extreme displeasure. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Over the past 14 Year, we see the outcome(s) - Interventions in Auctions by the Federal Reserve, Yield Curve Control, the Outright Purchase of RMBS/MBS again (this began in 2004 in size as the Federal Reserve's concerns over Real Estate began to mount). The FED has become the buyer of Last Resort - currently @ $8.758 Trillion in Assets of which $8.296 are "Securities" - this excludes "Shadow Operations" of FASB 56. In less than 2 years, the Federal Reserves Balance Sheet rose from $4.212 Trillion to more than Double that amount (NET of Shadow Operations) I estimate Shadow Operation under FASB 56 to be in excess of $3.8 Trillion - this excludes the Trillions missing from the Federal Coffers @ DOD, HUD and a great many other Agencies. _________________________________________________________________________________ Follow - On commentary will begin breaking down the Trends and discuss the potent outcomes and timeframes for each Capital Stock. There is a large amount of information to be discussed, requiring a methodical analysis of all points on the outcome curve. More to follow - HK

Bonds Gain as Stocks Sell OffBonds have picked up as stocks have sold off due to increased risk sentiment. We have edged up to 131'02, the technical level we discussed yesterday. The Kovach OBV has picked up significantly, but is starting to level off as ZN finds value in the low 131 handle. We are gradually trekking up in a zig zag pattern, but will face resistance at the next technical level at 131'12. This is a relative high for December which will be difficult to break as we enter the holiday week for Christmas next week. We should have support from below at 130'26 and 130'19.

The Only Trade You Need to Make This Year. #SteeplongendThe long End Of Yield Curve will steepen. Inflation running hot and CB can't hike rates. Nobody will buy 20-30Y. Yields Run, TLT Plummets Double Top with Divergence. Both, fundamentals and Technicals there. This may be the only trade you need to make this year. Everyone will continue to believe inflation is under control until they don't. This is a trade we can actually see happening in front of us but, nobody has this priced in yet.

The Bond Marekt Awaits Inflation DataBonds have continued their slow decline trough support at 130'07 and are hovering just above 130'00. We are starting to see support form in the middle of the vacuum zone between these two levels, confirmed by two green triangles forming on the KRI. Both Kovach momentum indicators have dropped precipitously, which might indicate that we are staring to become oversold and that 130'00 is a floor for now. If we see a relief rally, watch 130'07 or 130'19 for a target. If we continue to decline and break 130'00 then 129'26 is the next target. ZN is likely not to make any significant moves until CPI data comes out this morning.

Is that a recession on the horizon? (TL;DR @ end)In one of the previous ideas I published, I addressed the rising concerns many people have regarding exchange traded funds, or at least the ones that use various indexes as a benchmark for weighting and distribution. Obviously, linked to this would be the concern of a crash in the whole of the U.S stock market and possibly all western markets (I can't perform an educated judgement on eastern markets as I have limited knowledge in that regard). Unfortunately for the United States economy, the situation has been looking rather dire. There are countless reasons to why I say this, two of which I must mention, are: 1. The inflation rates in the US that have increased to 6.2% according to the consumer price index. 2. The democrats' (likely successful) attempt at raising the debt ceiling for the government to avoid default. Not only are these 2 signs very concerning as far as economic stability but, like every recession prior to date; had stocks trading at the highest levels ever recorded. Which is exactly what is happening right now as you read this. Luckily for bond holders and unfortunately for borrowers, in response to these increased inflation rates, interest rates are also destined to rise. The effect of this was seen today in the US 10 year state bonds ( TVC:US10 ) as they increased by just under half a percentage point in price in 24 hours. This may be a good time to transfer some of your stock holdings into state bonds for the sake of safety, before the potential recession. The other concern is how ludicrously high the market is trading. If you take a look at any of the major public corporations, you will notice that they are trading at earnings multipliers that are astronomical (that's actually an understatement) but despite this fact, many people are still buying stocks at an alarming rate. If you take a sneak peak at the news, you will see a huge portion of traders all 'screaming' "buy more, buy more", regardless of the fact that 90% of stocks and crypto are trading at ludicrous prices and are bound to take some sort of fall at some point in the near future. I am writing this just to put the thought in the back of some of my fellow investors' minds, hopefully might make them re-evaluate their portfolio distribution and possibly have a bit of cash at hand to buy some of the bargains that will come out of the next recession. As usual, other opinions, facts and news are always welcome, stay safe and comment away! TL;DR: There are a couple of signs of a potential recession on the horizon, between overpriced stocks and crypto and people's ludicrous spending in the market. When this recession may occur is not for my prediction but given increased interest rates, I would suggest converting some of your liquid assets to state bonds and/or cash so you can take advantage of the coming bargains.
