TLT - 150 Puts - ZN 133.125 TLT continues to Wedge out into the Break Down. Althought the Yield Curve appears to be heading into an inversion into 2022, the Long End of the Curve remains in peril... Countdown to Depression is ticking into Q2-Q3 2022. Fed language and statements are beginning to shift into 2022 indicating they are off balance NOW. Volaility will increase well ahead of the Fed's change in stance. We anticipate a pullback in the VIX Curve into Settlement providing cover for today's Squeeze in the Index Instruments. AAPL and Tesla have been used to provide adjustments to both the ES and NQ, These will be transitory... as Q3 EPS warnigns need a distraction... China incidently decided on MOnday - "there is too much completition in EV's within China" Adios Tesla, Giga Berlin and Texas will have to manage... China closing the doors on Tesla. Confidence will have the intended influence on the Bond Markets, for now it's game on into completion of the Wedge in 10Yr Yields. Risk off dead ahead. There is no recovery in the Economy, rather there are increasingly dangerous issues which will begin to manifest shortly. We will be continuuing to Build Out a Large Put Position in TSLA, APPL, ARKK, AMC. Crypto Scam LiteCoin took the short WalMArt CON to undermine confidence in the space. A 20% decline in LC took chasers downtown in mere seconds. Crimnal Fraud in the Space is an operating axiom.

TLT - The Madness of Mass Delusions10Yr Yields declined as international Capital Flows began demanding dollars out of the fear as to what is occurring outside the USSA. This implies, as well, a robust demand for perceived "Safety" - the very last thing it actually is. Europe, as we have indicated for months now, remains a basket case. For as bad as it is here, it's worse there. However, this is short term in its duration as the USSA is losing favor as a "Partner" of actual substance. The Long Con remains in trade. It will get a lot worse outside the USA which remains bullish on capital inflows. Simply watch France as they are teetering on another Bastille Moment. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That said, the objective of the Level Pullers is not friendly. Sending hoards of cash into the Fed Reverse Repurchase Market - reduces the cash in the Banks. This ONLY accelerates the liquidity crisis, which, in the very short term can have an important effect on Yields. It is temporary. Christine LaGarde, has been inferring that a policy shift is taking place which will be a transition in 2022. Stimulus policies have totally failed and the negative interest rates have destroyed the European Bond Market. Inflows to USTs is axiomatic for the EU, for the UK... not so much as they have shown a clear and present desire to position to China's Bond Market... slowly. The ECB's ONLY tool remaining is the rather hurried rush to digital currency ASAP for Europe is out of time. It will not go over well and lead to immense Social unrest. France, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy won't simply roll-over. 80 Central Banks around the Globe desire digital currencies according Lagarde - "We think that it's a duty of us to actually have available digital currencies that would operate to the benefit of consumers." There is nothing the governments ever do that is for the benefit of consumer citizens unless it benefits the Government 1st. LaGarde intends to end Private Cryptocurrencies. In her own words - "funny business" in Crypto needs to end, once and for all. They will be regulated out of business... plan for it. When you replace "Currency" which comes into existence from DEBT, Governments no longer need DEBT MARKETS aka Bonds. Currency no longer exists, Unlimited Pokemon Cards do however. The ability of the ECB to continue buying endless debt from its member states is coming to an end. Pressures to break up the EU is growing and this above all is driving the ECB to take drastic actions. They will cancel the Euro ahead of schedule, sending the FX Markets into a tailspin. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ UST Bond HODLers somehow believe this works well for them... it can in the very short term. Ultimately, the Tide begins to approach our shores as Confidence itself evaporates. The game of borrowing forever with no intention of paying anything back is coming to an end and with it the US Bond Markets. What will be the Value of your Bonds? They will become "Perpetual" - you will be allowed, permitted and forced to accept a coupon with no return of principal, that will be in Lock Down for good. Any/All protest from the SVM / Bong Community will have to provide critical rebuttal of the above for any further consideration. Unintelligent Echo is considered amorphous, Vapid, Delusional, Degeneracy and participation in its own demise. We are no longer entertaining idiocy. - Hunter Killer

ZN - 10 Yr Note - Continued Move to Higher Yields - ZN TLT ZBTLT is beginning it's terminal phase for the next decline. We Sold to Open TLT this morning, taking our First Position at our Target, with further Sells to 150s Set. Out dated Maturities, we have been suggesting for the past month are due for a large correction in Yields. Day to day noise is just that... Noise. Bond HODLers are convinced they have it figured out. They clearly do not or they would not be supporting an enterprise steeped in criminal activity. 3 Fed Members have now been admitted to Front Running Markets for their own Benefit. CONfidence inspiring.

10 Year Treasury Note - ROC's Building againRates of Change for Yields will face increasing Competition in the coming weeks. We anticipate further to quickly be met with YCC. Yields have been mixed at lows, attempting to Hang their Man. Central Banks receive their orders on High. Governments can no longer borrow to fund their annual spending. Digital "Currency" proposals from the WEF via Lagarde at the IMF, Echoed @ the BIS and then it's stepchild the ECB. The Debt can of worms can no longer be kicked down the road. Europe is in the final stages of collapsing under the Existing System. This will spread Cajun style, like a swamp Gator that eats everything that moves in the DEBT SWAMP. Rumors (Credible) of the Federal Reserve accepting Direct Deposits is halting the Primary Dealer network of Banks (First Abusers) who, via Trading Arms and partners such as BlackRock and VanGuard and many other smaller boutiques such as Gelber - have been able to manipulate ALL Markets without consequence... The Federal Government required them to sell their DEBT. This effort is very clearly coming to a decided end. Globally, the entire Financial System and edifice is being dumped on its Head.

10 Year Treasury Note into Jackson Hole10yr Yields peaked at ~1.70 as the Federal Reserve began YCC (Yield Curve Control) well in advance of recognition by the Retail Bond Market. With a shortage of T-Bills and Janet Yellen attempting to Fund the Fiscal Malfeasance out the Curve in order to reduce Short Term funding. With CASH mounting in Money Market Funds, there remains a large pool of Cash with the potential to absorb further issuance while driving Notes to Bonds Yields even lower. The issue becomes the non-transitory nature of shortages, rates of labor, price levels for those of us keeping track and a number of perversions to the integrity of Data presented. There is a long history of Intervention Failures, the approaching one will be historic. Europe has by any measure, already defaulted. This Point of recognition is quickly approaching in August. It will spread and generate a panic.

Macro Perspective - TechnologyAn increasing level of concern is rising within the Bond, Equity and Real Estate Complexes or Markets. I prefer Complex as each "Market" has a number of entities using their control mechanisms. The Equity Complex has a number of headwinds approaching for Technology (NQ). Yields, specifically the 10Yr Treasury Note has been a reliable Instrument for an Inverse or Negative Correlation. 10Yr Yields rose Friday 4.6% In addition, we want to observe the Long End of the Yield Curve flattening - this is a warning sign, one which proceeds corrections. Technically, the most recent reversal has seen poor breadth within NQ. The majority of the rise have been driven by the usual narrow Big Cap, heaviest weighted Equities. AAPL, GOOG, AMZN, FB, MSFT - NVDA provided most of the gains for Index. Unusual option activity has been on the rise as well, favoring large and often extreme positions for downside. One Trade amounted to $40Million in QQQ 340 Puts. The NQ has repeatedly created a large squeeze prior to a reversal, the last thrust higher pushed up 500 points late in the day only to collapse the following day, giving up all of its gains. IMHO, something is brewing which will be extremely bad for the NQ. There are a number of vectors for it see a large correction. Earnings will be led by share buy backs, Co2 Credits and a host of other accounting manifestations, but Gross Revenues should be less than optimal for a sustained uptrend. The "Delta" variant may encourage some traders to position for increasing "growth" initially - this is not March of 2020. Taiwan is at risk on a number of fronts. This would clearly be a large negative for Semiconductors. I do believe this will play out as there is an increasing number of large entities seeking to follow Apple's lead with their RISC Architecture and begin using their own Chipset Designs and Architecture. MSFT announced this some time ago. Google continues to reduce MSFT Office's market share with Google Docs. Windows 11 is a clear signal MSFT is changing their strategy after having announcing Win 10 was it. The concentration of Chip/Chipset fabrication in Taiwan presents an imbalance globally and with it the attendant risks. China is one, Water is another and there are a more. Japan has recently sworn to defend Taiwan as they are wholly dependent on Semiconductors for almost everything they manufacture. The US has conducted multiple Naval exercises in the South China Sea for years. IS something brewing there? I do not know, but do believe there is an inherent risk well advanced with respect to Taiwan. There is little the US can do to prevent China taking back Taiwan IMHO. I favor a Geopolitical Event inducing this correction, one that occurs after hours during GLOBEX and not RTH. Europe is well advanced in declining Economic activity. The pace of Economic growth in China has slowed. The US reopening trade has been one of confusion, mistrust and one foot our the door. If traders review Samsung in 2019 and their decline in Gross Revenues, we are witnessing the same event spreading once again. Inflation changes purchasing decisions, substitution effects begin to take place. There is much more, but I will condense this in now: I expect Tech to see a large correction later this month. I expect a number of Monthly Red Bars for a number of Indices. I will discuss the ES YM RTY and Bonds in upcoming posts. I do believe the Russell 2000 and tech will lead the Indices down soon. Perhaps August - November contracts will serve us well. Given the large ranges, using Micro Contracts for Inverse Ladders would be a wise choice. The VXN should be monitored closely, it has worked well. We will see how hard this can be pushed prior to a large reversal. The VIX has not been as correlated to the NQ as the VXN and 10Yr Yields. Good Trading Everyone - more to follow as we are approaching highs in everything, although the YM won't likely peak until August.

Elliott Wave View: Ten Year Notes Declines in 5 WavesShort term Elliott wave view in Ten Year Notes (ZN) suggests the decline from August 5, 2020 high is unfolding as a 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure. Down from August 5, 2020 high, wave 1 ended at 136 and bounce in wave 2 ended at 137’2. The Notes then extended lower and ended wave ((3)) at 130’2. Bounce in wave ((4)) is proposed complete at 137’245. Wave ((5)) lower is currently in progress but it still needs to break below the previous low at 130’2 to rule out a double correction. Structure of the decline from wave ((4)) looks impulsive in 5 waves with a divergence at the end of wave 5 of (1), favoring further downside. Down from wave ((4)), wave 1 ended at 132 and rally in wave 2 ended at 132’23. The Notes then extends lower in wave 3 towards 132’25 and wave 4 bounce ended at 132’06. Final leg lower wave 5 ended at 131’18 and this also completed wave (1) of ((5)). Wave (2) rally is in progress to correct cycle from April 22 peak (132’245) before the decline resumes. As far as pivot at 132’24 high stays intact, expect rally to find sellers in the sequence of 3, 7, or 11 swing for further downside.
