Analysis: DXY, gold, Treasury yieldsThe dollar index's quarterly chart is the most important as we heading into the second half of 2022.
Contrary to the popular belief, the quarterly chart suggests the DXY may bounce strongly in the coming six months, putting downward pressure on zero-yielding assets like gold.
Also watch out for a potential breakout in the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield and the bullish development in the US-German bond yield spread.
Yields
$TNX in range and a comparison of Yields around 2008#Yield is moving well today.
1Yr is bouncing back better than 2 and 10Yr.
$TNX is not bouncing as much but has not sold off as much as the others. The 10Yr is trading between 3.80 - 4.08.
Did we see the top in short term #yields a few days ago?
10Yr on the other hand did not break the most recent high. Interesting to say the least.
The last picture shows the highs of the 2 yr and 10 yr right before the crash of 2008.
Interesting that almost everything happened in the month of June. Even when it was 3 different years! Hmmm.
***
Now let's compare what yields did around the 2008 crash.
***
The 2yr yield peaked @ 5.28% and it did it much earlier. It was almost 2 years before the 10Yr yield did. The 2yr also formed a lower higher in 2007 (5.13%) & peaked in June 2008, much lower @ 3%, before the real crash happened.
The 10yr didn't peak until June 2008. way after short term rates peaked. We also see that the peak was around 4.3%.
Stocks peaked in Oct 07 and the lower high was May 2008.
***
We are seeing something similar today. However, IMO everything happens faster today. We're keeping a close eye on lower highs in short term yields and we could be seeing this now. Time will tell.
This data is just like other data. Just past info to help weather the current & future storms.
Yields are mixed but all point higher, history repeating?🚨🚨🚨
Going to make a stink about #yield again.
Short term #interestrates have been creeping higher.
Let's👀@ #bond Yields.
6M = holding steady, trading slightly higher.
BUT,
1Yr = BROKE RECENT HIGHS. It's at resistance but shows momentum.
2Yr = Closing in on TSX:SVB closure high. This is where #banks began to break down.
10Yr TVC:TNX @ current downtrend is being tested. Break through is good.
HUH?
Higher = good short term for #stocks. Markets have a history of breaking AFTER rates begin to trade lower and yield curve normalizes. This can take a year or so.
Not saying markets will be pumping for a year. Just saying this is historical. We could be setting up for much more upside but with RISK.
We posted on the 2008 yield crisis some time ago.
1 & 2Yr Yields holding, $TNX & rest have been weakeningShort term #yield is still weakening
The 3M & 6M peaked not long ago & been going lower.
The 1Yr & 2Yr are holding area when the #banks began to fail.
The 10Yr peaked Oct 2022, last year.
TVC:TNX has been lower & looks 2b headed lower at the moment.
We'll see what the #FederalReserve does but Wall St thinks #fed is done with rates or @ CLOSE to the end of hikes
Yields are Yelling: Recession is comingIt looks like we are turning over.
Coupled with gigantic short positioning of speculators on bonds (highest in history bsed on the COT Data), the chart indicates that yields will fall again.
Why would they fall?
Because of a flight to saftey and/or a recession.
I am keeping it very simple, I just buy Bonds via ETF. I am long TLT, IEF and SHY.
With that trade, I am also long USD, since my native currency is EUR.
If we have a weekly close above 3,5% on the US10Y, I will exit my positions.
It might also be lucrative to go short stocks now, but I wont do that too much.
This might be a great trade, but I am viewing it as a set up for an even better one.
We might get a great opportunity to buy stocks soon.
Bond Yields are mixed, longer term look better atm🚨🚨🚨#yields🚨🚨🚨
3M + 6M have been weak lately, we called them topping some time ago.
Will they turn soon?
1Y trading at recent highs and seems like it is trying to go higher.
2Yr looks like it wants to the recent test highs.
10Yr TVC:TNX peaked LONG ago!
Breaks white line, downtrend, likely trades higher.
Inverted yield curve thing of past?
#bonds #tech NASDAQ:NDX TVC:DXY
The most important chart...What are the conditions we need for a crash?
In my opinion we need to see these conditions coming together before we can say that we are in a crisis environment.
History showed us that before we had a crisis we 1. first saw the yield curve (US 10 year bond yield - 2 year bond yield) inverting.
2. then we saw the unemployment rate rising.
3. the yield curve steepend again.
Then the SPY had a significant correction or a crash.
So currently one of three conditions are active. The inverted yield curve.
Unemployment rate is slowly rising.
The market is still very strong. Don't step infront of a high speed train.
Yields diverging, Yield Curve over? Bad news for stocks soon?We made a call that bond #yields were topping in early June
6M has cratered since then
1Yr sold off, bounced, pulling back again
2Yr & 10Yr TVC:TNX we stated likely topped long ago
HOWEVER, we recently stated that they looked stronger than the SHORT term #bonds
INTERESTING INDEED
#Yieldcurve coming to an end?
Inflation, Yields, and FOMC in Focus This WeekS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for MON. 06/12
The precarious rally of the last month has been baffling many with its lack of the breadth - the rally concentrated in just a handful of big-tech names. In the last trading plan - published on Thursday, 06/08 - we wrote: "If the rally does not dissipate this week, then it could be indicative of yet another leg up that could obliterate the shorts". The rally did NOT dissipate last week, but rather accelerated.
With heavy economic calendar this week culminating in the FOMC rate decision on Wednesday, the focus will be back to the inflation and interest rates (potentially being confirmed as not a concern anymore, IF the FOMC pauses rate hikes as widely expected). Any concerns of potential recession seem to be not on the market radar for now. As can be expected, our models are flashing heightened probabilities for spikes in both directions, with no clear directional bias yet.
As we first stated to start this week, if you are a bull, it may be prudent to take some profits off the table; if you are a bear, you might want to wait for confirmation of downside bias.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate no trading plans for today, as they are in an indeterminate state.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans for MON. 06/12:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4323, 4305, or 4275 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4320, 4302, 4297, 4290, or 4270 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 4314, 4299, or 4293. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:46am ET 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.

Yields are diverging from SHORT TERM $TNX6 Month is still pumping & more overbought.
This is the only one still moving higher atm.
Serious divergence!
1Y surpassed the #bank collapse highs .
2Yr Stopped 50bps away from highs.
10Yr forming lower highs (the top was put in LAST YEAR), down channel & the long trend has been broken.
Short Term Bond Yields Setting Up to Crash along with the DollarThe 3 Month Bill is currently breaking down and backtesting a Rising Wedge after Bearishly Diverging at some extreme highs while the DXY has also broken below a long term trend line and is backtesting the S/R Zone and Moving Averages as Resistance.
I have expectations that both of them will crash majorly in the coming weeks to months.
6 Month Yield HIGHER than when banks collapsed!🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨
6 Month #yield is NOW HIGHER than when #silvergate #bank collapsed!
#interestrates can stay above 5% for extended periods of time, see charts, BUT the end result has NEVER been good for #stocks
1Yr struggles @ 5% but has been higher than 6%
HOWEVER
10Yr TVC:TNX is DIFFERENT! This has been on a long downtrend until 2022!

Markets Celebrating the Obvious? Day 2S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 05/18
Our stance last couple of weeks has been: "Our models are indicating an initial bias towards an inflection point coming soon. Barring any unexpected bullish development showing up on the horizon, chances are that this could be unwinding to the downside".
Looks like potentially arriving at some kind of agreement on debt ceiling and avoiding a potential U.S. default is being masqueraded as that "unexpected bullish development" (which almost everyone expected anyway).
Whether this move is going to be the start of the next leg up or to be a classic pump-and-dump remains to be seen. For now, the force appears to be with the bulls, possibly aided by the squeeze of retail, leveraged shorts.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are flashing a potential bull trap ahead if this morning's move up proves unsustainable. Models indicate going short at the close if today's close is to be below 4147 (activated at 3:59pm). If opened a short, models indicate instituting a hard stop at 4187.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans for THU. 05/18:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4187, 4176, 4165, 4155, or 4143 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4183, 4173, 4151, or 4138 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4161. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:16am ET 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.

TLT - Intermediate BUY Set-UpHere is my road map for TLT... T-Bonds
This will have significant ramifications across many correlated markets. Think ES, DXY, Gold etc...
I believe we close to embarking on a C wave move up to the opposing upper channel line. This could take on a variety of shapes/slopes. Time will tell.
The bigger move ahead is down... although the move ahead will be worth participating in.
See my published ideas linked below covering TBonds yields and ES/SPX pathways related to this supposition.
Weekly view of TLT here:
US 10 Year Yield On The Cusp of Breaking DownThe 10 Year Yield has been trying to hold this B point level as Support for the longest time but everytime it tries to bounce it gets pushed right back down and in the most recent try we saw it come up to test the moving averages while it Bearishly Diverged and began a Death Cross. If we can get a serious BAMM Breakdown from here it coulkd go down all the way to 1.4% which would likely coincide with a huge decline in the DXY and a rise in the stock market.
US10Y: Last dip before a medium term reboundThe US10Y is trading inside a Channel Down ever since its market peak on October 21st. The 1D technicals are neutral (RSI = 54.601, MACD = 0.300, ADX = 17.030) giving a mixed tone to the price action but based on the December-January Lows we can see the the Channel Down has one last dip to make before it bottoms and rebounds on the medium term. We will wait for that pullback around 3.250 and buy targeting the 0.618 Fibonacci (TP = 3.750).

SPY vs TLT : Massive DivergenceThe S&P500 is diverging from the TLT ETF.
We have seen this happen many times over the course of 2021, 2022, 2023.
Each time this happened, stocks ended up playing catch up to the downside.
As yields and bonds typically react first to the incoming macro data, stocks seem to always get the memo last.
Is this time different? Can stocks rally as bonds fall?
2 year yield drifting higher.The 2 year yield saw one of its biggest divergences from the Fed Fund rate during the banking collapse.
Now that the banks have settled the 2 year yield is closing the distance on the Fed Fund rate.
Recapturing the daily 200 MA is bullish for the short term yields.
This move up in yields could be signaling inflation starting to uptick as the economy & labour market remain robust.
30 year yield: Bullish as everThe long end yields have been climbing recently and many stock market participants are not recognizing this.
The long end yields market may be signaling to us that inflation is going to be entrenched longer than what mainstream experts are calling for.
On a technical basis the 30 year has now recaptured all the key daily moving averages and looks primed to head higher.
