TNX
Yields are on the verge of breaking-out.In log mode, we can clearly see the trend of yields dating back to the late 1970s.
Consistently lower yields on both the 2 year and the 10 year government bonds.
Representative of both the long and short duration bonds and their yields.
What we can see happening here is a breakout of this downtrend.
We are already at between 2.5-3% on the 10YR and the 2YR yield.
The Federal Reserve's planned tightening schedule combined with the inflation panic will drive both of these metrics up into the 3% range and beyond.
The only way yields could reverse here is through seeing a risk-off move from equities into bonds which would drive up bond prices and in turn, drive down yields.
Similarly, higher-yields could tempt investors into bonds at a point in which many stocks have already entered a bear market and many are set to underperform. Market breadth is set to shrink dramatically as equity bulls focus their efforts into a narrower set of large-cap stocks.
The FED has an interest rates decision next week amd therefore this quarter will be crucial in determining the direction of the markets.
$TNX Hyperinflation here we come.. The TNX has created a solid Hekin Ashi Resistance level in January of 2014 at 3.034% that has been tested multiple times on the yearly chart. This level is our first short to mid term target on the TNX looking to breakout from a decades long downtrend. Should the TNX break out above this level subsequent areas of resistance are circled as targets in white. This being a Bullish box on the Indicator would suggest that we will likely take that top target resistance created in Jan 1983 at 10.12% Should the shit really hit the fan, we have supply at 13.99 % circled in red. Hold on to your Butts..
Unchartered Territory-TNXAnyone who thinks they know for sure what's going to happen in this market should follow price action very, very closely. TNX just closed the month of March by very bullishly crossing the monthly cloud. Since the 1980's interest rates have been in a down trend. TNX could have crossed the monthly cloud bullishly on a couple of occasions but it never had the power to do what it did this month. What happens now?
Here are the times TNX could have had the strength to cross the monthly cloud bullishly but it got rejected:
Here is this months action:
Looking at it from a different angle...below is the monthly chart of ZN. When interest rates rise, ZN futures goes down. Does a 6% Interest Rate sound crazy? Don't break that neckline!
TNX - Daily / The Break of SymmetrySince July we began suggesting the ROC large break in early 2021 was a precursor to
a decades-long reversal in the Bond Market.
A Historic event seemingly lost on Convention.
The longer-term downtrend can easily be observed in both Weekly and Monthly
Charts - within those 2 TF's you will see the Long Term Channels UTL.
______________________________________________________________________
I pay a great deal of attention to Symmetry and Time, as it is as important as Price.

We can see in the chart above, 10 Year Yields decisively broke out as our pivot for
higher was 1.961.
Initially, it was front-run by 1 Pip during the Pre-Open - for bonds the action begins
at 8 AM EST.
The rest is history.
Extensions will trade into March IMHO.
Buyers since the FAKE 153 TOSS have been beaten down. Many are still insisting on
remaining in the Bid,
Buy the Dippers @ 153 / 151 / 149 / 147 / 143 / 142 / 139 / 136 continue to walk themselves
into continuing losses.
The Waffle House opened for Drive-Thru and the parking lot pileup ensued.

Forward CASH is not only being discounted for 007s, but for Corporate Jumbos aka

A clear sign of Depression 10X from August 2020 - a leading indicator by 18 months
historically.
Right on TIME - March 2022.
__________________________________________________________________________
You cannot fix stupid you can, however - you can take it's $.
Rates will continue to persist to the Larger time frames @ 3.5%.
This is the point of truncation late this year when 5/5 concludes for the Equity Complex
at New ATHs. Even the TLT baggies will gain small relief as all JUNK is hoisted higher in
one final Tulip Phase.
A multi-year Bear Market will ensue, collaterals will be "Reset" and Bonds, as we long warned
become perpetual.
Fluidity / Mobility matter most.
Unfortunately, the vast majority will remain snared.
SPY vrs 40 YEARS OF DECLINING INTEREST RATESIt just gets curiouser and curiouser.
Will Powell act? He is definitely no Volker! About 1982, under Volker, 30 year rates hit 18%. What next: a long period of low rates with catastrophic inflation or ...
door #2 - Higher rates and a stagnant or falling market.
I may be wrong, but I suspect the FED doesn't want to hurt THE MONEYED CLASS unless they have to.
TNX - Back to the Box10 Yr Yields are catching the FED YCC shove at present, it's feeble but there.
Powell's Backtrack yesterday was frankly pathetic.
"Rates will remain near Zero for the near term"
blah blah blah... idiocy.
___________________________________________________________________
The Stock Market is the Economy is what this fraud meant to say, but could not.
One day, he will.
Until then, the DX and TNX are going to continue to Range and Consolidate.
There's another accident ahead, regardless of the protestations of the Bond Gurus,
007s and Bandits.
They never seem to catch the Drift, always buying and claiming the New Bond Bull
is beginning.
After 4.5 decades it's over fanbois.
If you can't sort it out... it's your Capital being eaten alive by Inflation.
TNX - 10Yr Yields Sell Offers and Bond VX / Trouble
Bond Bagholders just never learn - this Secular Cult is doomed to extinction.
The two-year Treasury yield posted its biggest single-day jump since the
market volatility of March 2020.
Of course, this was after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell promoted
the Policy Flip Flop that the Fed will raise rates in March, and left the screen
porch door open for a quicker than-anticipated pace of rate increases.
The Dot Plot is wiggling in excitement.
IN reality, the FED will begin to Temper expectations.
It is what they do - Lie Cheat Steal / Delay.
10 Yr Yields have seen another fantastic ROC-driven Spike which advanced
well ahead of the Pre-Spring Meltup in 2021.

TNX will provide a very large indication as to how the preset Wedge on the ES/NQ
resolve, likely this week...
Keep it in purview at all times, sudden violent reactions are to be expected.
Real interests at historical low - S&P500/M2SL at big resistanceHi folks!
I just tried to take a broader perspective on things again, and wanted to take a look at the
pricing of the S&P500 relative to the M2 Money Supply, as well as the effect of real interest rates on markets.
Note that the orange line here is the negative of the real interest rates - that is, .
My takes are these:
(1) The S&P500 relative to the M2 (broad -i.e. including credit) money supply is at a critical level given historical data - only once have this level of resistance broken (during the dotcom bubble).
(2) The real interest rate have NEVER been this negative - with current rates even beating those of the 70´s and 80´s.
(3) (Not shown in chart) The treasury have been falling constantly since the 80´s, and have nowhere to go to the downside ATM.
(4) The critical support of the S&P500/M2SL lies approximately at the break-even for real interest rates if we compare their development from the 60.
I strongly believe that the real interest will move towards zero eventually - either the Fed and the governments manage to curb inflation rather quickly through credit regulations, taxes and interest rate hikes,
or the markets will just ignore it in the end and dump their bonds (no one will hold bonds at a certain loss of 5.6% or more in annual terms - that is madness!).
When this occurs, the stock market will take a huge dump - even compared to the M2 money supply (which will most likely decrease in the time to come!).
DYOR.
NFA.
I wish you all well!
TNX - Clear indication of a Pullback10 Year Yeidls should begin to pull back, this will provide a
welcome wind for TECH into EPS Season.
Bond VX is retreating as well.
RSI/STO Summation indicates an overbought condition.
____________________________________________________
Seemingly - this implies our thesis for the Recac has come into
the Trade and was supported by the Short Squeeze and Gamma
Call Squeeze after the Put Close.
Jumbos want to make $, it is axiomatic the ranges will expand and
Profits can be made on ALL sides of the Ranges.
It is that simple.
ZN - 10 Year Note Futures / An important ChartThe importance of ZN as an Instrument cannot be overstated.
It has been extremely technical and Reliable in assisting us in
forecasting Rate Mid Curve and provided the ROC's for TNX.
Today's MAcro Data begins with the CPI @ 8:30 AM EST using
the new Base Effect from the BLS.
______________________________________________________
CPI is projected to be 4%.
Food prices have already increased substantially into 2022
as we indicated Mid-Q4 2021 - Pordiucer were going to begin
passing along increases at an average rate of 20-23%.
Energy continues to Rise as do Commodities, on balance, across
the Board.
M2 continues to move higher, as does the Fed's Balance Sheet.
_______________________________________________________
The reaction to the CPI this morning will provide direction for the
Indexes the balance of the week.
Pricing Power is being passed along to end-users (consumers) at
a time when the Federal Reserve is indicating they are about to begin
an aggressive reduction in Liquidity and an accelerated pace of
increases to the Fed Funds Rate.
We have seen back to back ALGO driven increases in the ES / NQ / YM
and indicated 10 Yr Yields would pullback ~ 1.81% (1.808 was close
enough).
2021/2022 measured move is now .998 to 1.808 - a near doubling of
the Mid Curve.
________________________________________________________
The Bond "safety" Trade wasn't entirely wrong until the Curve
began to work its magic. We indicated in July Rates would begin
rising again into the end of 2021.
Where the Bond Buters lost sight of the Safety Trade was quite
simple - Convention holds only when the Yield Curve is steepening.
As YCC gave way to a FED backstop where the recycling ballooned
the Fed's Balance Sheet and Auction after failed Auctions began to
appear beginning at the long end of the Curve.
My Thesis proved 100% correct, then as now.
We anticipate a reaction to Mid Curve on today's ReCalc.
Safe Trading.
10 yr yield to see 1.75 to 1.86 at 50% TOPPED The chart posted is that of the 10 yr yield A few months back my forecast was for a move backup to 1.75/ 1.86 into the 50% area . I stand by this being the TOP of the range and we are now set up for deflation to show up . the 10 year will not be moving up for sometime
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.
