COT Strategy
SHORT
T Bonds (ZB)
My COT strategy has me on alert for short trades in ZB if we get a confirmed bearish change of trend on the Daily timeframe.
COT Commercial Index: Sell Signal
Extreme Positioning: Commercials most short they have been in last 3 years = bearish. Small Specs most long they have been in 3 years = bearish.
OI Analysis: Extreme high in OI. Generally, extremely high OI found at market tops.
True Seasonal: Strong seasonal tendency for t bonds to go down into October
COT Small Spec Index: Sell Signal
Supplementary Indicators: Acc/Dist & POIV Sell Signals
Remember, this is not a "Short Now" idea. These indicators are not timing tools. They simply tell us that this market could have a move of some significance to the downside, which we will participate in with a confirmed Daily trend change to the downside.
Good luck & good trading.

We have a Grey Rhino here - Markets are driven by ignoranceThe US long-term bonds have hit new lows, the yield curve has been inverted for two years now, and inflation remains uncertain, meaning interest rates may not ease at all. Yet, stock markets are reaching new highs.
We have a "grey rhino" in this market. A grey rhino is a large and visible animal that cannot be ignored. Try not to get too close to them because when they start charging, we can never outrun them.
In this market context, we face a big, obvious problem that investors completely ignore until it becomes a crisis. It's different from a "black swan," which is a rare and unpredictable event.
When we recognize that there are problems many do not understand, we have already won half the battle.

2008 LEVEL ARE CLOSE - COULD IT BREAK IT - WAIT - ZB1! - WEEKLY30 years US Dollar Future could be going back to its 2008 level.
Potential probability exists to see it going even lower.
Market price have failed to break its 2020 down trending resistance.
The potential historical resistance, illustrated with the horizontal upper line, shows that the market have tried to go in the long direction but have failed several times.
The recent acceleration of the price sinking have possibly revealed a waiting zone pictured by the rectangle.
It can be a potentially perfect zone to enter long but here the fundamental analysis need to be thoroughly done.
For the time being, this idea will flag it as being bearing until the 2008 level is touched.
At the 2008 level, potential pullback up could be interesting.
See previous analysis on the ZB1!, linked to this idea, pretty interesting!
