The DXY and Yields are Still Set Up for a Bullish ReversalLast night, the DXY went below the PCZ of the Bullish Alt-Bat and bottomed out at the Demand Line of the channel it has been trading within, and at the same time, it formed a Bullish Butterfly with double PPO confirmation. Now it is back above the Moving Averages and on the rise. Meanwhile, the yields have seemingly bottomed out at the 200 SMA at the PCZ of a Bullish Shark and looks to be ready to make some new highs.
The QQQ has been getting pumped a lot because of money flowing into big tech, so I have opted not to focus so much on trading against the QQQ and will instead shift my focus against the IWM via the 3x Inverse ETF $TZA. TZA is at the 200 moving average, aligning with the PCZ of a Bullish Deep Crab with some PPO Confirmation, I think this will make new highs soon. if the QQQ goes back below 360 then I will cosnider jumping back on the Bearish QQQ trade.
Yields
EURUSD: Bearish Bat with MACD Bearish DivergenceWe have an Intraday Bearish Bat on the Euro with Bearish PPO Confirmation and MACD Bearish Divergence.
Earlier today, the Euro Doubled Bottomed at $1.05 and has since been on the rise, but so far it has only managed to come back up towards the moving averages and move up to complete a Bearish Bat. Now it is showing multiple signs of coming back down, and if it does, I don't think $1.05 will hold but that it will instead break and make its way towards $1.035. I think we will continue this trend until the Euro Is Back Below A Dollar.
The DXY and Yields are Set up to Make a Midday ReversalThe DXY and the 30 Year Yield have been on the decline for most of the day but are now showing signs of reversing back up at the PCZ of a Bullish Bat and a Bullish Shark in the form of MACD Bullish Divergence and PPO Confirmation, respectively.
When these two start to rise again it is very likely that the QQQ start to continue down as it is trading at the PCZ of a Bearish Deep Crab and has formed Potential MACD Hidden Bearish Divergence and if it starts to go down it will also give us Bearish PPO Confirmation which from there may result in a fast move down to make a lower low.
All of this will likely be triggered by whatever the Fed has to say today.
DXY Parabolic RiseThe Dollar is surging and gaining strength like it did in 2021/2022 when inflation narrative dominated the market.
Are we witnessing inflation resurgence.
This Multi crossover of the daily moving averages suggests a very strong trend is forming, but this rise in price action often yields a pullback before the next leg higher.
Think about why this is happening...Yields surging, Inflation and China (Evergrande) uncertainty.
S&P500 holding supportThe S&P500 was shaky today after some deep selling started to occur. The market was breaking down on surging yields and dollar.
The SPY pierced and almost lost support but managed to find its footing late in the session & had a phenomenal rally which definitely consisted of Short covering based on the volume.
Let's see if this local low / bottoming tail will hold.
I expect if we see a retrace many investors will be trying to buy keeping a close stop against the wick low.
Why we’re watching the Bond/Equity Volatility
With the action-packed week of global central bank meetings for September now behind us, we believe it's an appropriate time to review where we stand. The current phase, in our view, can be aptly summarized by the words of Huw Pill, the Bank of England’s Chief Economist: a ‘Table Mountain’ scenario rather than a ‘Matterhorn.’ Recent announcements have positioned the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve as adopting a pause stance. Meanwhile, the ECB suggests that it is in the final stages of its hiking program, and Sweden’s Riksbank has just executed its final hike. While we remain slightly skeptical that these hikes may indeed be the final ones, let's entertain this thought and examine what transpires during periods of a defined pause.
Defined pause periods raise alerts for us, as highlighted in our previous piece on US Equities. In that article, we pointed out the impact of a Fed pause, as it has often preceded periods of equity drawdowns. This pattern becomes even more evident when we consider other variables like shifts in the dollar and interest rates.
Looking at the S&P 500 index —in 2000 and 2006—where a clear pause was observed, significant equity drawdowns followed thereafter.
Furthermore, the 10-Year, 2-Year, and 3-Month yields have just reached their highest levels since October 2007, June 2007, and January 2001, respectively. These yields mark the highest nominal interest rates seen in decades across the interest rate curve.
More significantly, this shift has brought real yields back to positive levels, something investors haven't seen for a while, all while the yield curve inverts to unprecedented levels. All of these factors have spill-over effects on investors accustomed to decades of low real interest rates.
Another observation worth noting is that the ratio of Bond to Equity volatility has proven to be a reliable indicator for predicting the next market regime. For instance, during the 2008 period, a break in this ratio was followed by significant moves lower in the market.
A similar phenomenon was observed in 2019, where a sharp break in the ratio of MOVE to VIX preceded the market's next downturn. What captures our interest now is a recent, significant break in this ratio, reinforcing our bearish outlook on equities.
In terms of daily charts, the recent gap down places the index at a precarious juncture as it grapples with both a sharp break of the 100-day moving average and trend support. Compared to the last two instances when the index broke lower, the current RSI stands at even lower levels. Adding to this, only 18% of S&P 500 stocks currently trade above their 50-day moving average.
Given the breakdown in the MOVE/VIX ratio, the global pause in interest rate policy, and supporting technical indicators, we are inclined to maintain a bearish stance on US equities. We can express this view via a short position on the CME E-mini S&P 500 Futures at the current level of 4347, with the take profit at 3800 and stop at 4500. Each 0.25 point move in the E-MINI S&P500 index Futures is equal to $12.5. We can also express this same view with the CME Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index. With each 0.25 point move equating to $1.25, its smaller tick size compared to the standard contract offers greater flexibility in position-building or averaging your entries.

XLE - true breakout or fakeout?Oil has been ripping lately and trying to establish a new consolidation range. Keep in mind this rally in energy has occurred as the DXY has had 9 weeks of consecutive upside.
The energy sector has been a bullish piece of the market and is at a critical support level.
If this breakout in XLE is to hold we could see some significant upside.
A weekly & daily breakout has been confirmed but when you zoom out to the monthly chart this could be signalling a failed Double top reversal.
Seeing how XLE closes the monthly candle will be telling for the market as oil has been the main increase in the CPI and inflation expectations.
Dollar and Yield Favored Setup Leading to the FOMCThe Dollar and US treasury Yields are all showing signs of future strength leading to the FOMC meeting, as the EURUSD has slammed into Resistance with Bearish Divergence and PPO Confirmation, the Yields have hit a Shark PCZ with PPO Confirmation, and XAUUSD has once again hit the PCZ of a Bearish ABCD and will give us PPO Confirmation of a Type 2 Reversal once, and if it starts going down again.
Market Analysis Ahead of Fed MeetingThe FOMC is set to have their 2 day meeting.
Market consensus is for a pause in rate hikes.
Will the Fed shock the market like the ECB just did with their rate hike?
The treasury yields market is still in a very strong uptrend & inflation expectations over the last 2 CPI prints have come in hotter due to energy.
the markets are in a ver y precarious spot with the small caps & equal weight indices on the verge of breaking down. Will tech save the day?
inflation & yieldsThe Us 10 Year yield is one of the most important yields to follow.
It greatly impacts long term investment decisions in a vast array of markets; stocks, bonds, real estate.
A clear technical breakout is being observed & this could mean inflation is becoming entrenched.
Yields have a tendency to rally in parabolic fashion. if this breakout holds we can likely expect higher rates.
2 year yield - breakoutThe yield market is going absolutely bonkers tonight in the futures.
What is the bond market telling us?
likely inflation is entrenched. If the 2 year yield closes at or above the Fed Fund Rate before we hear from Powell expect the fed to do a surprise rate hike or remain extremely hawkish.
This will no be good for stocks if this is the case.
SPY / SPX at an inflection pointThe S&P500 is on the verge of breaking down very hard.
If we reject at the neckline tomorrow that is bearish.
If we close above the neckline it is bullish.
Either way a big move should occur once we know where we close.
After a hotter than expected CPI, tomorrows PPI will be telling.
If we get a hot PPI and hot Initial Jobless claims number expect markets to sell off.
Trading Plans for THU. 09/07 - Back to the BasicsS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 09/07
As we wrote in our trading plans published yesterday, Wed. 09/06: "In this morning's session so far, markets continue to be listless with the bias sliding towards mildly bearish. Nevertheless, bears need to wait for a confirmation before taking any positional shorts - a daily close below 4450 today might give that confirmation".
The index failed to close below 4450 yesterday, but showed continued weakness. The price action in the pre-market session after the Initial Jobless Claims is showing the potential for further weakness to develop. The retail positioning and the retail sentiment reinforce our view for a downward push to follow in the coming days. Rising yields are renewed concern for the bulls.
Our models are sporting outright bearish bias for positional trades while the index is below 4470. The index has to close above 4507 for our models to abandon the bearish bias.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4490, 4472, 4445, or 4419 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4488, 4468, 4457, 4442, or 4415 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 4459. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:31am EST or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

This chart pattern suggests yields are going higherUS10Y remains in an established uptrend on the daily chart, and Friday's bullish engulfing candle suggests a swing low has formed and more gains are to follow.
But having looked back at price action since the April low, we note that prices are yet to break the low of a bullish engulfing candle if it has formed after a pullback or period of consolidation. Granted, there are one or two of those engulfing candles that do not fit the exact description (as an open or close is out be a few ticks, meaning it has not truly engulfed). But we've relaxed the rules to note bullish candles that show clear range expansion over the prior candle.
And if that pattern persists, it looks like the 10-year yield (and likely yields across the curve) are at least going to make an attempt to retest or break their cycle highs.
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.

Silver is Setting Up to Drop Down to as Low as 21 Cents.Silver, after confirming Partial-Rise, has also formed 3 Falling Peaks and looks to be preparing to drop back below the bottom end of the range at 18 dollars. When it does this, it will enter a Butterfly BAMM Wave Structure that ends at the 1.272-1.618 Fibonacci Extensions. As a result of this new price action, I am lowering my price target to $6.61-$0.21 from my original $13 target.

Short term #yields have been stagnant for some time now. Most are trading within a VERY TIGHT RANGE.
3Month - 1Year yield has been relatively flat.
The 2Yr had nice bump but is struggling to go over 5%.
