Fundamentally Setup Markets For This WeekI have identified the following markets are "set-up" for moves of some significance.
This video goes into the fundamental reasons for these trade ideas.
NOTE: I am not looking to go long/short these markets immediately. I will wait for a change in trend on the Daily to get involved with these markets. The tools used to identify these trade setups are not timing tools. The tools do give us an idea of how market participants with significant size and intelligence (commercials) are positioning themselves. The tools also give us an idea of sentiment, valuation, seasonality, and also an idea of what the (usually wrong) public/small traders are doing.

ZB1 weekly analysis
ZB1 continues to trend lower, with a brief respite after finding support liquidity on Tue 03 Sep '13. This occurred alongside a favorable market environment following a drop in inflation. However, after Q1, the Fed announced that interest rates would remain fixed until 2025. This has led to a continuous decline in ZB1, targeting lower lows and aiming for short-term support liquidity around 107'05. The subsequent target, if the price continues to drop, would be 103'22.
In technical analysis, we observe the market absorbing liquidity before rallying to reach the order block for a liquidity purge.
ZBZ3Shorted in Sept shorting in Oct.
Another 30 year T-bond short most effective day to open over the last 15 yrs is 10/2 missed it but opening today. Will want to hold this open until the 24th of October. Look at the December Contract as the front running contract for this trade. Futures = Calender spread back date the long side to the March contract. Options... I am torn safe bet is to sell for the premium like a credit spread. But if your willing to chance it and pay the premium a debit spread could be worth it.

Bonds showing signs of a serious risk off scenarioThe rapid decent of Bonds from 129 was telling. Yet while most think that we have reached the bottom there are indications that this is not the case.
WE are currently here:
ZB is making a retracement, I think we can see a price rebalancing up to 120'22
The potential Highs at 121'31 will lure Buyers, yet a rejection of these levels will have serious indication that investors are in for a rough patch, yields will be higher on the bright side. 🤷🏻♂️
ZBBonds are gross and so is this trade....
Short Trade (Naked no Spread)
Entry Sept 3rd, exit Sept 15
Tick Size: 32nds of a point ($31.25/ contract) rounded up to the nearest cent per contract.
Margin Maintance:4290/3900
Contract Size:$100,000
Have fun with this one................................................

T-Bond futures have completed rising wedge patternThe bear market rally in Bonds concluded with a rising wedge. The pattern would indicate a return to the lows, which is exactly what the Fed should force. The view that the Fed has turned dovish is incorrect. The Fed fully understands (or hopefully so) that a moderate or even severe recession is far better for the U.S. long-term than would be the cessation of rising rates. Generations younger than I do not understand the tremendous damage to national financial wealth that inflation can cause. I am all for a recession. Time to clean out the dead wood.

Recap of my trade for todayGood afternon and good evening for european traders, for my trade today on ZB we closed in loss and it's one of normal things in trading and which a lot of people don't show and share, we didn't trade any other market for some reasons.
I'm sharing this just to let beginner traders that trading isn't always winning, somedays you make losses you recover in other days.
Today we got in after pulling wack on the resistance line and added a contract on the place I placed the 2nd arrow, The big green candle came out after the news release turned up the market to continue bullish and closed after few hours.
See you tomorrow in another forecast !
