Big Picture: S&P 500 (SPY) Over a Simple Risk/RewardI like to follow the course of 'risk appetite' but there are many definitions of sentiment from the perception of confidence in a particular asset up to an assessment of the entire financial system as a whole. I like the top down approach in this case as much of what happens in individual assets on a regular basis roles up to an industry/region/asset class or the broader financial system. For me, gauging 'risk appetite' answers much of the market activity currently unfolding in the market. For measures of market-wide sentiment, I have made very simple to very complicated. This is very simple. Going by the standard 'risk/reward' perspective: a singular (but imperfect) 'risk' measure is the $VIX and a similar 'reward' metric is the US 10-year yield. Of course, there are many issues with the VIX and it is derived from US markets (S&P 500 specifically). However, the US equity index is one fo the most ubiquitous gauges of investor activity in the world. As for the US 10-year, there is certainly better yielding assets, but most of it is based on a 'prime-plus' and this benchmark is treated as the prime. All that said, this risk/reward gauge seems to have just recently rounded off as the rate regime starts to taper off and volatility start to stir. Longer-term relationship has skewed - a sign of equities ($SPY S&P 500 here) inflating over time and the lack of return in a traditional portfolio one makes in zero rate environments. You can rise the SPY wave or FAANG or meme stocks or crypto to try and get greater return; but it invites ever greater risk relative to the expected returns. Are there any other good 'risk/reward' measures that are both indicative of the global market and simple?

SPX | Let The Roaring '20s Begin!As the famous billionaire said in December 2021 (elon), the "prophet" who is apparently loved and trusted by everyone. I don't know why... Disclaimer, SPX by itself will probably not follow this path, things are quite complex as you will soon find out. First of all, Recession is not something simple. Everyone talks about it, but it is not always meaningful. This year, equities weren't in a recession. While on the one hand the prices dropped, the denominator (dollar value) increased. The 2022 "Recession" is not apparent, we have just hit the mean. Note that the channel is automatically drawn from 1950 using the Log-scaled Linear Regression indicator. Taking note of the above, we can interpret that instead of SPX following the 1920's bubble, the pair SPX*yields will. These charts above give us a valuable lesson. Until now, a .50 increase in yields had little effect on the direct equity value. A monthly rate hike of 100 points had little meaning in the 80s. A change from 15% to 16% on yields for example, is just a 6% increase in the immediate price of money. A change from 0.25% to 4.50% in 2022, is an 18x increase. This means that the immediate effects of such an increase are dramatical. The 2022 "recession" occured just because price was so rapidly revalued. The change in dollar value is "effective immediately", when a rate-hike comes. Everything measured in dollars is immediately repriced accordingly. Even if price may take time to show it, cost does change. The USOIL true price changed immediately. US investors enjoy a massive discount in oil price, while the rest of the world "enjoys" a bull-flag. But this phenomenon will not last forever. Rates will eventually hit a ceiling and the FED will pivot. I will now try to "estimate" when the tightening schedule might end. Had the 2020 crash not happened, this would be an average rate-hike schedule. It lasts 7 years. This puts the end of the tightening schedule to the end of 2023. So to add these together, we expect a QT environment until the end of 2023, and stable decrease of yield rates starting in 2024. Now I will try to make sense of them all, and try to find a probable behavior of SPX based on the yield hike-drop schedule. For simplicity, I pretend that the terminal rate is already here (or priced in). After all, the US10Y chart shows signs of peaking. We can conclude that even if this is not the terminal rate today, and based on the FED announcements, the market has already priced in the full extent of the tightening schedule. I will return to the modified USOIL chart. We have seen that in reality, the price for oil (the main contributor to inflation) dropped a lot thanks to the tightening schedule. The USOIL/yields chart is like a time machine. It shows the final price equities/commodities will take when the dollar-repricing (rate hike) circles around the economy. We can conclude that the rate hike schedule was successful and will cool down inflation (inside the US) With all of the above, it is safe to assume that: Inflation has peaked (for now?). The rate-hike schedule / QT environment will persist until the end of 2023. From 2024 we can expect rates to drop. By multiplying or dividing with yields, we can make conclusions for the reason why we were not in a recession this year. Since equities and yields are multiplied to calculate the true equity value, we don't have a clear indication on why the true value is increasing. Charting SPX/yields can help us understand "thanks to who is the true SPX chart increasing". By analyzing them, we can get more indications on the future movement of SPX. We assumed that yields have nearly peaked. They will remain constant or increase a little for the months to come. Equities have no reason to continue a sell-off now that yields have almost peaked and the worst of inflation has passed. So we expect equities to increase compared to steady yields in the following months. Taking all of that in account, we can end up with the following charts: A probable scenario: An improbable scenario: More about the trends in the following idea: Moral of the story, always have a plan B. Make sure not to waste it creating a bubble. When inflation drops and equities bubble, there will be no reason for rates to increase. Just like in the 2018-2020 Recession, we will beg for the FED to drop rates to feed the bubble. When there is no more room for yields to drop, equities will. The equity market is infested with weapons of mass destruction (derivatives). It is bound that we see a burst of this long-term bubble. Final question of the night: Why would anyone print an astronomical amount of money to make so little in the end? Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori PS. I've talked about how the 2018-2020 Recession no-one remembers is a micrography of the 2008-2009 Recession. For reference, look at the rate-hike schedule, and notice the little "step" that appears in the end of the 2008 rate-drop schedule. The same appeared in the 2020 crash. On the left, the modified-GFC is visually similar to the standard GFC chart (with and without yields transformation). On the right, the bubble SPX experienced in 2018-2020 now looks like an actual recession. PS2. This crazy idea I posted may not be so crazy after all... PS3. In 2025, Nostradamus (another pseudo-prophet) told that WW3 would come. The same I heard from many others. endtimeheadlines.org PS4. The two sources of wealth are theft and inheritance. -Aristotle Onassis PS5. I am not a trader, I am a father. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

The DOW Road has Ended. Now Welcome Hyperinflation.The market has chosen a way to profit throughout all these years. This is the end of this way, QE lead us here... in this dead end. Equities was the "gold" of the time that passed. Now this is changing... If you read until the end of this idea, you will realize that a lot is changing. I will briefly analyze this chart and what it tells us. This is the ratio of equities compared to yields. I have modified yields using an equation I made up. This channel is drawn from 01/01/1950. This is a date I use since this is the day America 2.0 was born. I have talked about it on the MV = PQ idea linked in the end of this idea. Well, we have just missed this trend... Right now we could be witnessing the very beginning of US 3.0. Long-term technicals on this chart are deadly for DJI. So this chart above suggests that the new big thing is bonds. As you will now realize, this is not the entire story... The following are IMPORTANT: There are some things that trouble me... SPX compared to energy is showing signs of stagnation. There is substantial drop for equities ahead of us. So okay, energy cost is going to increase compared to equities, that is something we have taken for granted the past few months. We have talked about this a myriad times... This is not the entire story. This chart below shows that energy increases will overperform yield increases. So in a sense, inflation (calculated from commodity cost) will overperform yields. Inflation is poised to increase much more than yields. Until now yields were consistently decreasing, now there is no more room down for yields. Even if yields remain stable on today's levels, this chart suggests that energy prices will still increase. If yields increase, energy prices will increase more compared to yields. This is a recipe for hyperinflation... This chart below, shows more evidence towards the same conclusion... Basically, "long-term inflation" (PPIACO*GOLD) is creating bull-flags compared to "total money created from yields" (mod-yields*CURRCIR). This means that the cumulative price of production cost and gold cost, will substantially increase compared to what bonds yield in total. Conclusion: Chaos. No matter what politicians want, things are out of control right now. These charts suggest that. This is a long-term phenomenon which cannot change from free will. Nature is more powerful than we could ever hope to be ourselves. These charts are simply scary. I don't have the words to explain much. The charts speak for themselves. I am sorry for the rushed post, and any mistakes that I might have done. I began writing about DOW, and I found out that there is much more happening right now... We all knew that we could have increased cost of energy, and stagnating equities. I couldn't put the scale of them in perspective. I hope that these charts gave you some perspective, they certainly gave me a clear perspective. PS. While we cannot avoid what is coming, we have the power to choose what boat to take. The stranger told us that we cannot be in two different boats. We are basically obliged to choose our path. Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

Warning DrumsJust a short update for today. It is important, so it deserves an idea on its own. For the first time since 2019, the FED is now officially giving money into the system. What could this mean for the US economy? Are they sensing weakness or is this just a response to the recent banking crises? Now let's look at the history of bailouts. Price made a higher-high, and stayed high for months until the GFC. Similarly in 2019, without anyone concerned about recession, the FED pivoted and cut rates. This might be the beginning of more bailouts. Who knows how many more... There is a big difference however... Historically, during periods of economic weakness, the money input was higher than the output. Now, the scale of money going out of the system is astronomical. So much so, that is literally bull-flagging. Money supply metrics cannot be ignored. Record low RSI for money supply. Beware, these scale of these events is incalculable. The numbers we witness here are massive (RRPONTTLD). The money supply monster we have created is more powerful than it's creator. What must be done to fight it? And who will be the first to fall? Do note that RRPONTTLD is a sum of agreements. The effect of such a dramatic money drain out of the system will take years to show itself. This M2SL drop is just the tip of the money-berg. Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

S&P500 Will the bond yields rescue or push it lower?The S&P500 recently has been negatively correlated with bond yields. The while line is the US10Y. This has been inside a Channel Down and is near its bottom. Based on their negative correlation that will push the S&P500 lower. The time that both the S&P500 and the US10Y rose simultaneously was after August 1st and we can seriously argue that there are resemblances between the two time periods. What do you expect to happen this time? Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

US 10Y yield is eroding a major band of supportIt's pretty much all about Fibonacci today - the market has recent peaked at around 4.24 and is in the process of eroding a key convergence of support at 3.25/3.32 (lows since January, the 55-week ma and the 2018 high). These are looking vulnerable and failure will imply a deeper corrective move lower towards 3.00 and potentially 2.80ish - the 38.2% retracement of the entire rally from the 2020 low. Remember todays close will also constitute a weekly close on the charts so this should be watched closely.

USD/JPY correlation with US yields persists after Fed meetingUSD/JPY registers a fresh monthly low (130.42) following the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, with US Treasury yields reflecting a similar behavior as the 10-Year yield gives back the rebound from the yearly low (3.29%). In turn, the correlation coefficient now stands at +0.95 and the indicator may continue to reflect a significant relationship as market participants prepare for a change in regime. USD/JPY Outlook USD/JPY initiates a series of lower highs and lows as it fails to hold above the 50-Day SMA (132.55). A move below the psychologically important 130.00 handle may push USD/JPY towards 128.90 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement), with a break below the February low (128.08) bringing the January low (127.23) on the radar. However, USD/JPY may track the flattening slope in the moving average if it holds above the February low (128.08), with a move above the indicator opening up the 133.30 (50% Fibonacci retracement) area.

US10Y is on the 1W MA50. Major effect on stocks and commodities!It is only 11 days ago when we called for an immediate drop on the U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y) as it was at the top of both its long-term Channel Down as well as the top of the Diverging Channel Up: The Channel Up now broke to the downside as the US10Y not only hit our 3.550% Target but closed even below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), with the Channel Down remaining the only pattern still valid. The important development is that the price is testing the 1W MA50 for the second straight day and for the first time since December 21 2021. If it closes the week below it, it not only validates the 5 month Channel Up but also confirms the way for a new long-term downtrend extension towards the 1W MA100. Needless to say, this will have major consequences on the stock and metals (Gold in particular) markets as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

The SVB Collapse and Why It Matters To YouInteresting situation with the collapse of SVB (SIVB), the people have yet to realize we control the market not the central planners. and the collapse of SVB is a realization of that power. So , here is what i know from the very little articles and podcasts that I listen to and I will give you guys the why its important. From what i know is that SVB business model was somewhat risky in the first place, and their main consumer base was startups, and tech startups. hence the name Silicon Valley portion of Silicon Valley Bank. Now a little money education... in the world of money and currency (remember currency as current it will become important later) there is a concept called the velocity of money, basically the volatility of money. for my stock traders think the VIX. when the VIX is low there is no money to be made because money is not moving. but when the VIX is high there is plenty of money going around so why not use your dollars as napkins, right or "fun coupons"! this is the velocity of money the faster a person can make money move the more money they stand to make. the banks know this. So when you go to the bank and deposit your check your money is already out the door into something else before you're able to but your wallet in your bag or pocket. this happens because of what is called as the "fractional reserve system" and to be honest its a "F"ed up idea but has worked thus far. what this system means for every dollar you put into the bank, the bank can lend out 10$. A bank is a business it makes its profits by lending money, and when you save your money it cost the bank money, because of your .01% interest rate. the reason for the big push for open accounts is because the more open accounts the bank has means the more money they have liquid, which means the more they can loan out, which means the more they stand to profit. now as an insurance policy the US government makes the banks keep a fraction of their total account balances on site incase of what they call a "bank run" happens (get to what a bank run is later) Now, normally you dont notice this or even care because when you go to the bank and want to pull 100$ from your account its no big deal whats a 100$ when your dealing with 100s of thousands. you want a 100$ you get 100$ instantly. But want to see the system become a problem for you, if you have more than lets say 25,000$ or more in an account go try to pull ALL that money out and see what type of road blocks you encounter. they will make you give ID, reasons for shutting down the account, basically your first born child and your blood type. partly is because they really want to know why you're closing the account, because thats profits walking out the door. but the main reason is, they have to reach out to sister branches and other banks to pool that money together to be able to give it to you and this typically happens like over night. so if you think you're about to waltz into your local bank and demand a 25,000$ check right then and there you're sadly mistaken. the same exact process happens when you take out a mortgage, now your talking $200K and up so now there are more road blocks. whether you're the buyer or the seller. you sell your house for 500K and you think that check you deposited is there right when you get it... yeah its not! back to the currency comment money is now a currency it has to keep moving to keep its value. think of it as a river, mostly you can drink water from a river and be okay because bacteria cannot grow in moving water but drink water out of a pond and you just might catch Syphilis (sarcasm intended). money is the same way, the faster you can make it move the more you stand to make and the healthier the money is, if take money out of the river and stick it in your pond as a savings account inflation will eat it alive making it very unhealthy. Even historically before all this crazy inflation started happening the savings rate in a savings account was like 0.01% and inflation was around 2 percent. Now the importance of this lays with the SVB. When looking at their business model it seems solid... "invest in high beta companies, or higher risk endeavors, then to off set this risk we will load up on the safest paper assets money can buy... the US 10Y bond." Officially the US hasn't defaulted on loans before... i mean we will print more money before we default. I mean it sounds like counterfeiting if you ask me, but who am I just a low key, low level, low volume trader with a computer living in my moms basement :) sarcasm... or is it?! Well from the looks of it it would seem SVB bought a ton of these 10Y bonds in 2021 when the economy was ripping and roaring. So, when bond yields are down their prices are way up. So in the full swing of the "roaring 20's" yields were around 1.12X or keeping it simpler 1.1XX. so that must mean the value must of been sky high. My only rational thought for this type of purchase was the risk manager must of thought he could off load the bonds in the bond market for a nice profit thinking good times were going to continue. On the surface it seems okay high risk business model with a low risk counter weight. But "We the People" were leaving SVB, and going back to what i said about taking your 25,000$ savings out, and they were running out of reserves and their bonds were worth less than the paper they were "printed" on, so they filed a loss on their report. on the surface this was fine, because only die hards read a companies 10Q or 8A but all it takes is one... and there is always that one Guy... and not this Regular Guy either. I personally dont like the instability of the tech industry. i mean i do believe we will make a full blown terminator but i dont want to gamble on which company that is regardless of what the gain is... might as well go gamble in my opinion. So, because there was a mass exodus of accounts they were having a hard time fill orders so file your 8A detailing you're offering more stocks to drum up some money and it falls flat. people read said 8A and see that you dont have cash so the word got out and the consumers made a bank run. Dont get it twisted either this can happen to any commercial bank JP Morgan, BofA, Chase, Citi, Credit Suisse and the like. a bank run is when the majority of depositors want their money back now and they do it in close succession of each other forcing the bank to say "we dont have your money" so they in essence "run" to the "bank" to get their worthless paper. Now, what i just learned is back in '08 our amazing government passed legislation basically stating they will no longer bail out banks. (honestly if you guys know the piece of legislation please post it in the comments) I agree with this legislation because when I lost 15k on a bad USDCHF trade 7-8 years ago the government didnt bail me out. that was all my money... just gone in a matter of seconds. So the US government came out and said " we will make sure all depositors will get their monies back... How? step in Bail-Ins And again a bail in is something i literally just learned about... i swear at this point were just making -ish up at this point... ok so we know what a bail out is... basically the US government funnels all this cash into a failing business(s) and the tax payer picks up the tab. so what is a bail-in?... glad you asked a bail-in is when the depositors pick up the tab... How? well the FDIC picks up the first $250K and anything over that 250K is now funneled into bank to help offset the loss. so if you have $500K in the bank the first $250K is yours... uncle sam gives it back via FDIC (which that money has been long gone spent, so i dont know where theyre going to pull money from to keep this facade of the FDIC up) and the next $250K is the banks... So congratulations you have just become a unwillingly silent partner of a failing bank. -ishy news is that the current administration is trying to give more power back to the IRS and bring it back to its glory days like it was in the 80's so you wont be able to claim those losses on your taxes, if you had a business friendly administration you might actually have a fighting chance. i have a feeling the whole world is watching what is about to happen, because the entire banking system relies on high value accounts. if the US says tough luck that might send uneasy shock waves to all the high income earners and might make them want to pull their funds out of the banking system... there is a very interesting article on Credit Suisse that i want to read so ciao!

US02Y: BOND MELTDOWN / 4.00% CROSS / MACD CONVERGENCE / RSIDESCRIPTION: In the chart above I have provided a simple MACRO ANALYSIS on current bond market meltdown where the US02Y dropped nearly 25% within FIVE TRADING SESSIONS. POINTS: 1. US02Y deviation is simple & marked at every 1% difference as bonds rise and fall within the same range percentage therefore it has a rubber band like price action relationship with it's lowest 1% points. 2. Overlapping Orange Line represents ES1! a US Market Future. 3. Dotted Green Lines represent continuous downward momentum in past Bear Markets (2002 & 2008). 4. Bubbles overlapping dotted green lines represent initial break of supporting bond percentage %. IMO: In my opinion the most concerning factor to take into consideration when it comes to current bond positioning is the STEEP RISE IN PERCENTAGE especially when the overall US market momentum is tied to BOND PERCENTAGE during both RISES & FALLS & the STEEPER THE INCLINE THE STEEPER THE DECLINE can become. MACD: Notice a complete meltdown of Bonds when MACD confirms convergence to MEDIAN & eventually breaks past median and falls into into negative territory. RSI: Notice that unlike in other recessions RSI levels have seen more consistent exposure to MEDIAN of 50. But as of lately from a MACRO perspective that is not the case as we have seen current RSI levels linger around 70 or above in EXTREMELY OVERBOUGHT TERRITORY. SCENARIO #1: In a very BEARISH scenario we come to see BONDS PERCENTAGE go through a complete free fall. SCENARIO #2: In a less BEARISH scenario we come to see BONDS PERCENTAGE go through an extended consolidation phase with PERCENTAGE LINGERING ABOVE 4%. FULL CHART LINK: www.tradingview.com TVC:US02Y

Who would you trust with your money?Spoiler alert: More evidence against NDQ in this idea! US Companies are organized in clusters, some of them are DJI, SPX, RUT, NDQ etc. Some of them are more trustworthy than others. And by that I mean which of these sets one can depend on. DJI is indeed a dependable group of companies, the so called Blue Chips. Composed of the 30 largest US Companies. These companies aren't playing around, they have deep foundations that can withstand the worst of crises. The opposite of foundation is hollow ground. In finance, one hollow ground could be derivatives. More info about the possible repercussions of derivatives in my last idea: Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction. -Warren Buffett I have talked about how you should not blindly trust the price of the main indices. And as we know, the effect of derivatives is embedded in the price we see every day in our Watchlists. Equity price is a victim of derivatives. You know, these derivatives which by default have no foundation and are susceptible to a possible crash like the .com bubble. Let's hope a ".options" crash doesn't come for derivatives. And if it does, let's hope that the "weapons of mass destruction" was a figure of speech! So how big is their effect? BIS warned about the hidden debt, the "everything bubble" we have created and we are comfortably sitting inside it. Buffett has warned about derivatives. The only thing I can analyze is these hyperbolic charts, namely SQQQ (short QQQ) and it's cousins DOG (short DJI) and SPXU (short SPX). To remotely begin to make sense of their nature, we have to reduce their exponent. Dividing a chart by an arbitrary amount doesn't "flatten" it to a lower growth scale. We will have to raise SQQQ to 0.2 for example to bring it down to meaningful and comparable levels. I tried normalizing these 3 beasts, using the following methodology: For the entire history of SQQQ we calculate the SQQQ^-1 chart, and measure how much it grew in this period. As seen above, SQQQ^-1 increased by 17000x. To make it comparable to QQQ, we progressively increase the exponent so as to make QQQ and SQQQ growths identical. If this explanation didn't make sense, the following chart may clear things out. So we come up with the following "balanced" derivative charts. SPX // SPXU^-0.216 DJI // DOG^-0.62 QQQ // SQQQ^-0.244 WIth the // symbol I mean that these charts move in parallel. So what can we infer from them? More speculation maybe, more questions than answers... But still, there seems to be some important difference between them. I will divide these two charts to make some sense. When the chart increases, the "real" part of the index is increasing. When the chart decreases, the "derivative" part of the index is increasing. So in a sense, the chart increases when indices grow fairly , without cheating using derivatives. First SPX Next DJI Finally QQQ (NDQ) Painful... Is this derivative bubble the only reason NDQ is still afloat in this immense QT environment? In an attempt to keep business going and as money gets scarce, Big Tech is pushing prices higher using an immense amount of derivatives. Are these derivatives going to be the doom of NDQ? All of this may be speculative and some charts may not be financially true. But sometimes, price simply discounts everything. Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

Possible Crash to 1410? (Alternative Bias)Everyone who has been following us since last year, knows we are bullish on Gold & are still holding buy positions from 1600's. We also have a sell position open from 1953 as a hedge against our buys. However, after seeing price action on Gold recently I believe that there is a possibility for Gold to crash lower towards $1410-$1370 over the next 2-3 years. If you look at the 2 week TF, you can see that Gold reached Wave 3 ($1,920) back in 2011, following a peak of Wave 5 ($2,075) in 2022. If this is correct, we should now see the market crash back as a correction towards the $1400 mark. This also makes sense from a fundamental perspective. If the Federal Reserve keep hiking interest rates over the next year, this'll weaken Gold prices, while strengthening the US Dollar. This analysis is only valid as long as Gold remains below the last high of $2070.
