$TBT Double Top AMEX:TBT Double Top, A "double top" is a popular term used in technical analysis to describe a chart pattern that suggests a potential bearish reversal of an uptrend. Here's a breakdown of the double top pattern:
1. **Formation**: The double top pattern forms after a strong upward move or trend. It consists of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between, which is called the "neckline".
2. **First Peak**: The first top is formed when the upward trend reaches a resistance level and sees a reversal, leading to a price decline.
3. **Trough**: After the first peak, the price undergoes a correction, which leads to the formation of the trough. This decline is a sign of short-term profit-taking but isn't strong enough to signal a trend reversal yet.
4. **Second Peak**: Following the trough, the price will attempt to rally again, moving back towards the level of the first peak. However, it will once again meet resistance and fail to break through, leading to the formation of the second peak.
5. **Breakdown**: After the formation of the second top, if the price breaks below the neckline or the lowest point of the trough, it's a confirmation of the double top pattern and signals a trend reversal. The expected downward move can be approximately the same vertical distance as that between the peaks and the neckline.
6. **Volume**: Typically, volume tends to be higher on the left peak than on the right one. A noticeable increase in volume on the breakdown through the neckline can serve as additional confirmation.
7. **Significance**: The double top pattern is considered a powerful signal, especially when spotted on longer timeframes like daily, weekly, or monthly charts. However, as with all technical analysis patterns, it's essential to use additional indicators and methods to confirm a potential trade.
Remember, while the double top can be a reliable indicator of a trend reversal, no single method is foolproof, and it's essential always to use risk management techniques.
TLT
TNote (US10Y) entering target area, expecting a pullbackThe TNote (US 10 year yield) has entered its target area for this up movement from the bottom.
Resistance area is between 4.65% to 5%.
We are expecting a pullback below 4% for the next months.
Then the uptrend should resume towards 7%, possibly higher.
A break above 5% would invalidate this view.
BOTTOM is the SP 500 A double zig zag has ended into the target Last week I talked about the alt wave structure if we failed at 4521 . I stated that if we fail to break above this we would then see a abc or 5 wave drop to 4331/4303 the ideal target 4303 in a perfect world and that the VIX would see 18.8/19.8 worst case if the bull was still within the final advance . I also want traders to review the tlt post THE MAJOR LOW DUE and the DXY . I look for the sp to march to 4666/4731 from here I am now 100 % long and margin of 5 % and fully long calls today I also took a full 100 % long in IWM target has been met . best of trades WAVETIMER
Reverse Triangle (ABCD) set up, D leg of the bullish CypherLooking at the Monthly Chart of the TLT 20yr bond etf. I see a large ABCD Pattern Set up. The Initial Triangle has not completed. Currently there is heavy selling in Bonds (C leg sell off to D leg of the bullish cypher) The Trend Line was breached, and now the sell off is acting like a Magnet to retest 2008 lows.
It's worth noting this sell off appears to be A bullish Cypher pattern set up Around D leg. This set up is also tie to the USA real estate market. Based on the 18 year real estate theory, we're only 13 years removed from the 2009 financial market lows. Also based on the 18yr real estate theory, I see a project crash around 2027-2028. Which is likely due to a property tax crisis.
At the bottom of the chart you'll see the Stochastic has already bottom, however the AD is still in overbought territory. You want to be buying when both the AD and the stoch are bottom together like in 2008-2009 (see white box).. Dollar cost averaging into the 20yr bond etf is not a bad idea either. With Bond yields currently over 4% and likely to reach 6%-7% before the TLT finally bottoms is a good hedge. I also like the fact in the future, I can write cover calls against this position, which will lower my cost basis even more in the future.
I'm not looking to short bonds here, i'm a long term buyer of the dips with a breach of $90... price action could take this below $84, possible $78 but $84 is my target based on the last recession in 2008. Dollar Cost Avg for the win long term for the next 20yrs
Opening (IRA): TLT October 27th 91 Short Put... for a .96 credit.
Comments: Adding on weakness, targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit in the contract nearest 45 days duration.
This is more aggressive than I usually do, since it's at the 30 delta, but I'm looking to pick up shares at or around these lows if at all possible. Because of this, I'll look to run these right up until expiry and/or take them off for "approaching worthless"; I immediately stuck an order in to close it if it gets to .05.
If I get assigned, I'll look to cover with short call.
50DMA and TBILLS indicating when bear market hitsHere's a closer look at a highly reliable cyclical bear market indicator. Over the past two decades, it has consistently proven itself as a trusted signal, often aligning with yield curve inversions. In contrast to employing trendlines and breakouts for precision, this chart relies on moving averages. These moving averages function in a similar manner to channels, as they calculate the mean, much like a channel does in various aspects. When there's a breakdown from this mean, it typically signifies a significant loss of support.
From a fundamental perspective, this shift suggests that the market is heading towards a risk-off sentiment, leading investors towards products such as TLT due to their appealing pricing in comparison to stock valuations. The divergence we're witnessing appears unlike any we've encountered before. To return to the mean, it would require either a prolonged consolidation at higher levels for many months or a sudden and sharp downturn. I have my own theories on how such a downturn might occur, possibly triggered by an event akin to a cyber attack on financial systems, similar to the disruption caused by the COVID pandemic. However, that's a discussion for another day.
In this scenario, our focus should be on reacting to developments rather than attempting to predict them. Currently, the most crucial level to monitor is a potential retest of the 4100 range on the SPX, coupled with how the yield curve reacts when it approaches its initial resistance. If a breakout occurs in these areas, it could signify an increasingly uncertain market environment. For a more detailed analysis, please refer to the chart below, which provides insights into the points I've discussed.
3x Inverse TLT ETF: Breaking Out of Descending Broadening WedgeThe Inverse ETF for the 20-Year US Government Bond is currently breaking out of a Descending Broadening Wedge and is looking to go much higher perhaps between the 61.8% and 78.6% retraces which would be about a 500-1,400% percentage gain which also means that longer end bond yields are going much higher.
I previously said I would repost this chart after the split so that the numbers would be accurate, and now that split has happened. I have my eyes on the $36 to hold and am currently looking to get some calls for that strike price expiring next year.
It's worth noting the Partial-Decline we got before breaking out of the Broadening wedge, which makes it more likely to play out.

TLT vs. US20Y ~ Snapshot TA / Inverse CorrelationsTVC:US20Y double-tops, while NASDAQ:TLT creates a double-bottom..
Question to ask tho - has US20Y actually double-topped, or is this just retracement for a bigger push beyond ATHs?
Looking for further signs of confirmation that long-ended yields have indeed peaked...then I'll feel more confident in popping the champagne.

TBT- a bearish treasury ETF LONGTBT on the 30 minute time frame shows a trend up in an ascending parallel
channel now at the bottom of the channel where it could go up or breakdown
and go under the channel. The ZL MACD suggests some bullish divergence while
the dual TF RS indicator and the ADX oscillator are non-commital.
The immediate recent short term volume profile with a POC line above price
suggests a lot of trading above price and likely short sellers. A longer time
interval volume profile shows the POC line more than $1.00 below current price.
Price could easily gravitate in the direction of that price magnet.
Overall, I see a bias for a bearish move and will watch this to confirm. i will play
this with put options to leverge the amplitude of the move albeit at higher
risk.
TMV setting up a reversal LONGOn this 4H chart- TMV the leverage bear Treasuries ETF has been trending up
in a parallel channel. AT present it bounced from the top of the channel and is
heading down to the bottom of the channel. It is there that I will trade long
where the bottom of the channel is confluent with the mean VWAP providing
an overlap of dynamic support. Near that same level is the POC line of the
volume profile. Price needs to stay above the POC line for the probabilities to
tell me to trade long. Roughly I am looking for a trade from 145 to about 160 for
a 10% move more or less. The stop loss under the channel trend line for about 1.5
and so the ratio is about 6. Once in the area of the bottom of the channel. I will
look to the indicators and zoom into 15-30 minutes as a time frame to find the
entry. I will entertain taking a trade in a fair number of shares and potentially
buy a put option for insurance against the downside to hedge against losses.
I expect the trade to last a week or less and so averaging about 2% gain daily.
$TLT ETF Double Bottom Weekly ChartThe TLT ETF appears to have formed a potential short-term bottom, characterized by a double bottom pattern on the weekly chart. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index. This ETF focuses on providing investors with exposure to long-term U.S. government bonds.
SPY/TLT ratio chart at monthly extremesNot calling a bottom in bonds here, but the extreme monthly RSI of this SPY/TLT chart is impressive. Bonds broke down again over the summer but may be forming a double bottom. Could bonds finally get a serious bid? This charts says it's possible, but exact timing may be difficult to do.
Yields Surging / TLT FallingThe technical weekly uptrend that yields have formed is rather astonishing.
The sheer power of this move suggests likely more upside yields. Some basic measured moves suggest a potential whopping 5.7% on the 20 year.
Imagine TLT long bond traders!
Nothing is probable but it makes you wonder if inflation is becoming more entrenched since the bond market is very forward looking.
