Junk Bonds Disaster LoomsJunk bonds looking very "2008". This supports my overall view, which is that all equities, commodities, and currencies and the market in general, are highly overvalued; this has been the case for roughly the last two years. What a mess. Shortby ChiefMacro0
HIGH YIELD, why so high?If everything's OK, why are we seeing a low appetite for high yield corporate bonds at the moment? Long term trend remains to the downside, upwards on the yield.Shortby j_arrietaUpdated 0
Huge Disconect Between Stocks and Junk BondsWhen we have seen a big disconnect between stocks and junk bonds it did not end well for stock. Watch out if the yield curve starts to steepen.by TheTradersBias111
Leading Indicator list shows more downside to be expected... Heads up... all supports and resistances are being broken. Very quick take... equities going down! other markets will follow suit accordingly.Shortby Auguraltrader0
JNK – High Yield Bond ETFOne of the more important charts out there. The JNK etf shows the investor sentiment based on the interest in high-yield debt. Considering the expectation for the number of defaults to increase, the fact this is not selling off and the spread looking bottom could possibly be a confirmation of the strength in equities. Will be interesting to see if JNK can sustains a rally to close out the year. High-yield spreads High-yield effective yield: by cmerged0
Good news for stocks, bonds are bottoming $JNKAMEX:JNK is an ETF that tracks rated high-yield bonds or "junk bonds". These are the bonds rated Ba1 & BB+ by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., & Fitch Inc. respectively. The bullish divergence with the ROC is pointing out that a bottom is near. Bonds bottoming is a good sign for the market and breakout to the upside should confirm a healthy uptrend for stocks. This ETF has a high correlation with the AMEX:SPY ; 0.7021 for the last 3 years, so, let's wait and see. Longby dpuleo191
Risk off Risk OnJunk bonds to US Treasury 7-10 year bonds, a good proxy for risk on/risk off appetite and a good parallel to SPY action. Right now, we are due a risk off pullback, but the longer trend (Gann trend line and Ichimoku cloud) indicate a risk on environment will be soon to follow. Longby UnknownUnicorn131010
A silver lining amongst all the negativity A relative comparison between the DJI, JNK & DJT is showing some underlying strength building in the market. This is also known as a "risk on" sentiment and that's when high risk assets do very well 04:43by markethunter8880
Junk Early ReversalJunk is one of my favorite indicators for risk assets. If junk confirms this reversal we should see a rally in stocks and crypto. Very early days. A few more weeks should show a confirmation.by TheTradersBias0
JNK H&S measured move to 85?It looks like the bond market is making lower lows, and China HSI as well. These are usually leading indicators telling us that risk on assets will also make lower lows. But I believe the end is near, as you can see on the chart. This could also be a max pain fakeout as we are back testing the downtrend line. So starting to dollar cost average into some risk on assets and metal miners in the next few days/weeks is probably a good idea. Good luck guysby cicatraceUpdated 1
JNK rejects off resistanceJNK showed signs of breaking out this week but the long wick / shadow at the top of this weekly bar rejected off resistance an dumped the price back into the broadening descending wedge pattern.by MrAndroid0
Lower Bond Prices Ahead?This could either be an A-B-C wave with another major leg down coming, or an extension in the middle of a major wave down. Will be watching for topping signs around 94 with another major move down. Would expect stocks to follow along.Shortby AssetDesign0

JNK: looking less junkyA big break above 90.07 today (RED) is a significant level in the S/R playbook. A close above 90.07 sets in motion a sustained move higher. Longby AspenTrading1
No recessionJNK/TLT explodes. In my opinion this only can be if no recession is seen in the near future. It could also mean: TLT falls extremly fast because FED and Japan/China sell US T-Bonds at the same time in amounts which the market cannot handle at all. The cracks in the system became obvious... by jupomm1

Nice Rally in JunkJNK has had a nice rally off support. See if it holds the momentum with the Fed in strong hawkish mode.by TheTradersBias1

Junk weekly over sold Junk weekly showing heavy downside momentum but possible red inside candle. The weekly stochastic is turning from over sold. Should see support here (at least short term) before you see it in stocks. Lets see.by TheTradersBias1
JNKTLT A bond ratio that could give a perspective on stocksThis is the ratio of High Yield Bond ETF to the 20Y T BOND. Not a ratio seen a lot but on the 1M time-frame it provides some perspective to the periods of high volatility/ correction on stocks. The blue trend-line is the Dow Jones (DJI) index (stocks). As you see, every time the JNKTLT ratio hit its Lower Highs trend-line, stocks have turned sideways at best, undergoing a volatility phase. Last month, the ratio closed above that line for the first time in history. Even though we are on a sharp correction since the start of the year, does that break-out mean that it enters a new bullish trend and completely different pattern? And if so, could it indicate that the correction is about to take a stop? What do you think? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by TradingShot2212
