ridethepig | US 10Y Yields At 1.50 Support A deliberate soft closing down at the 1.50 lows (instead of breaking through allows for an underestimation in the bounce); here, the systematic approach of buying the dip deserves victory. We can cast some light together on playing through the flank: In the extraordinarily traditional sense an inversion which we are looking at always leads to a recession and volatile positioning. This change of cycle that I have mentioned usually crops up in Vol first: But what is typical of the big leagues, and this of course is no exception in US10Y, is and will remain advanced playing fields for advanced swing traders only. Retail making use of this soft close and betting on the continuation will provide the fuel for a spike as they cover and become trapped in a squeeze. Even when smart money appears to have a gun pointed at the head, it always finds the time to mass his troops in defence (now you see why this weekend was vital!!!!)... If you are keen to learn, you should model yourself around these premises. All the best and thanks for keeping your support coming with likes, comments, charts, questions and etc!!

USDJPY and the US 2 YEAR YIELD CORRELATION 'CRACK'Since the YC inversion in August last year (2019), there has been a "crack" in correlation between the US02Y and USDJPY. I expected the YEN to strengthen as the Japanese short the dollar against the YEN to hedge against the rising US Govt bond prices (due to the rate cuts) considering Japan holds a significant amount of US Govt debt. My initial thoughts on this is that the BOJ is focused on keeping the YEN weak to stimulate its export sector which accounts for a significant amount of its trade. At the expense of its debt ballooning ????? I'll be looking into this during the weekend. -Surecapital

ridethepig | US 2s10s Curve Breaking HigherI have been talking about the curve steepening for some time after we cemented the lows. From a technical perspective, the breakout is implying a test of 60 over the coming weeks and months. The US 2s 5s Bond Curve also looks to be triggering a major break up: This will reflect a medium term breakout with large forces clashing against each other and diverging at the prior lows in a long-term swing. A mixture of profit taking and momentum tiring. A break above is triggering the flows, with next key levels in play at 35.5bps, 49bps and 60bps as the final target.

ridethepig | US 2s5s Curve Screaming Recession in 2020A timely update to the 2s5s US Curve which is breaking higher with the resteepening after flattening from 2016. This breakout indicated we have marked a meaningful base with the next target in play at 29bps which is the measured target from a breakout. (1) Every other time this happened it ended badly for the global economy via recession. (2) A Fed that lags and finances the Whitehouse will only add fuel to the flames... "it's different this time". (3) The longer the delay in USD devaluation from Fed, the worst the blow is going to be in Equity markets. Assuming USD does not devalue materially into 2020 its repo will grow and continue expanding the balance sheet , one way or another eventually this is going to look like Fed has been financing the WhiteHouse and then the game is up. For those tracking the renewed steepening there are plenty of opportunities if you know how to capture the symmetry; for example Banks outperforming was a no-brainer: Defensives outperforming: Rotation in full swing: End of the Cycle? Smells like it... Recession is calling... Thanks for keeping all the support coming with likes, comments, charts, questions and etc! Best of luck those tracking for the end of the cycle... this chart will be one for the history books.

ALPHA PROTOCOL: SEEKING IMMEDIATE EXTRACTIONYou have opened the grave of an economic cycle. Before we dig deeper into the nature and consequences of our discovery, we will discuss the background to the thesis and consider first what we know from history a few lessons; (1) Every other time this happened it ended badly for the global economy via recession. A (2) A Fed that lags and finances the Whitehouse will only add fuel to the flames... "it's different this time". (3) The longer the delay in USD devaluation from Fed, the worst the blow is going to be in Equity markets. Assuming USD does not devalue materially into 2020 its repo will grow and continue expanding the balance sheet, one way or another eventually this is going to look like Fed has been financing the WhiteHouse and then the game is up. Protectionism is a serious error. There is no yellow brick road to success with protectionism, and it is no surprise the US via media manipulation have the masses deluded. This is a necessary component to the makeup of the next economic cycle; but it must be in balance, any overshoots or undershoots will destroy the effectiveness in manipulation. Central Banks have been buying 20% of Gold supplies, expressing a view on global risk at rates we have not seen since the Nixon era when mortgage rates were surpassed by wages and no surprises this is also happening again now! Those with a background in fixed income will know alarm bells are ringing louder than usual in bond markets with wages ticking higher than mortgage rates. This is not sustainable and when danger threatens and the crowd does not smell it, don't stand like a sheep, rather run like a deer. Now that Pandora's Box has been opened, it is equally important to understand the consequences and have a pulse to guide us on how to proceed: Utilities starting to form a top: Consumer Staples in the decade long chart: For those with a background in waves you will know this is a typical example of a 5 wave count. This is time to start paying attention for any signs of a meaningful top forming. We know that once this final wave is completed a corrective chapter will begin. This chapter down is only a third of the pages compared with the rally and we can 'read' through it quickly. Rotation in full swing: Cyclicals vs Defensives : Tracking Unemployment closely : Vol sitting on the launch pad Use this chart to good advantage, time to start paying close attention for early signs of a turn. As usual thanks for keeping the support coming with likes and we can open the conversation in the comments for all to share ideas and questions.

The Bond Market - Historical Levels We are currently witnessing levels is the Bond Market that have never been seen before. Again today, the US02Y-US10Y have inverted multiple times. The US01M-US03Y have now also inverted. We currently live in a time where debt is out of control and unfortunately there is no end in sight. History shows, within 6-18 months after a US02Y-US10Y inversion, the US economy falls into a recession. The question now becomes, does history repeat itself once again? We all know that the US Stock Market has been on what many would call a parabolic uptrend. Is the US Stock Market at fair value? Or does it at some point return to fair value? That remains to be unknown at this time as all we can do is allow the future to play out. I've currently been working on a script (Pictured Above), that helps me visualize the Bond Market and Yield Curve in a different way. The moves again today have been very interesting. Best wishes, OpptionsOnly

Comparing US02Y vs US10YBy decrementing US10Y from US02Y we see the actual breakout so to speak. Volatile. Already touched the previous Global Resistance with a huge spike and most likely next 2 to 3 years are going to be volatile as well coming to an end around Nov 2021 - the point that looks pretty similar to what we already saw in 1991 | 2001 | 2008 and notice since 2008 the move down wasn't that significant comparing to the previous two(1991-1993 and 2001-2003) thank's to US QE I guess? We might actually end this trend or maybe just maybe from 2021 to 2023 going below the ZERO which you can comment the possibility of that happens and how do you prepare yourself ;-) According to this time analysis in Nov 2021 "the disaster" is going to be at the peak.

US02Y: Aug 2019 - time to panic?Good afternoon. This is the chart that everybody yelling about. May this year price close below monthly support. Today (Aug 2019) we have a green 9 and doubts. The importance of this level is significant, but first let's compare 1991 vs 1995 vs 2000 vs 2008 vs NOW(2019) You can do it yourself and come to any conclusion you will, but I want you to know that since our last cycle longed for 12 years I believe our next cycle is going to long 12 years as well just like it did in 1991(5Y cycle) and 1995(5Y cycle) with the worst years of recession falling on the 2030's from this point of view. So the worst could be right upon ahead of us and still there is quite significant time we have till this recession and who knows maybe even 2012 was THE lowest low and so something going to change that trend in future since it is a 3rd time in last 3 decades(!) Everything possible. This is not about predicting the future, this is about predicting opportunities that may come in future. Be well, my friend!

US10Y - 2019: A Race to the Finish Line?Looks like we can anticipate another impulse wave on US treasury yields as we follow our thesis that the US10 yield will kiss the upper boundary historical trendline before we see a reversal. Implications here will likely result in a rebounding/consolidating stock market and a strengthening of the USD against many major currencies while markets undergo major trend changes. ***This is not investment advice and is simply an educational analysis of the market and/or pair.

The 2y yield at 3% is more important than the 10y yield at 3%...Charting the LOG of the US 2y yield (blue line) compared to that of the US 10y yield (red line) here shows the heavy move up in the 2y compared to the 10y. This, in my opinion, is very important because a 2y yield at or above 3% will likely drive short-medium term market reaction. Some of my thoughts on the 2y, 5y, and 10y points of the curve for context: • The timing of a hike primarily drives the 2y yield (or 1y spot compounded by 1y1y) while the pace of hikes drives the 3y yield (2y spot compounded by 2y1y) and 5y yield (3y yield compounded by 3y1y and 4y1y). • If you hike sooner then you don’t need such a fast pace of hiking (flatter 2y5y). Conversely, if you wait too long, then you have to increase the pace to catch up (steeper 2y5y) • The 10 year yield is the ultimate benchmark for the bond market or anyone quoting or looking at rates. Key drivers such as inflation, wages, GDP and market risk on/off sentiment drive this part of the curve. While we have certainly seen a decent back up in US 10y yields, looking at the trajectory of the US 2y is probably more important. Why? The short-end has immediate effects on borrowing and lending and when the 2y level is currently near 2.5% that has to be a cause for some concern for tighter financial conditions and more expensive credit. Looking at the LOG trend-line for both the 2y and 10y, if the current momentum and pace continues, then the 2y yield should likely meet the 10y yield sometime towards fall of 2018 i.e. a flat 2s10s curve and a 2y yield above 3% - my point is the 10y above 3% won't be the risk-off indicator, the 2y above 3% will be.

German 2y Yield to go higher (US2Y vs GE2Y yield sprd too wide?)US 2y yield (blue line) vs GER 2y yield (red line)...The spread is immensely wide as the FED has been in a hiking phase wile the ECB still continues to apply a "whatever-it-takes policy". Eventually the ECB policy will have to roll back and front-end yields will react by backing up. I believe the German 2y yield will eventually move higher and lead the narrowing of the US-GER 2y spread gap. This also makes the case for a Eurozone (i.e. German) curve flattener attractive at these levels.

Yield Curve Below 1%, Racing to the BottomThe yield curve (spread between the 30 year and 2 year spread) just broke below 1%. All indicators suggest this trend to continue. It has been encroaching the lower Bollinger Band of the Kovach Reversals Indicator, with no retracement in sight. A retracement will be confirmed by a green triangle, if an when it happens. The Federal reserve should be very mindful of this in their December meeting. If you're interested in the Kovach Reversals Indicator and more, sign up for access at quantguy.net!
