Risk Proxy Turns BullishIt's only Wednesday, but the weekly perspective on this ratio of high yield "junk" bonds to government treasuries is currently painting "Go" conditions. Often used as a proxy for overall market risk, the ratio trends higher when investor demand for high yield bonds is greater than their demand for government treasuries. The concept then is a rising ratio shows risk appetite, and a falling ratio suggests defensive positioning. Notice that even through the Sept-Oct rally, GoNoGo Trend remained in neutral amber conditions ahead of the "risk off" conditions through Q4 and the start of 2022. As this ratio breaks out into a fresh "Go" trend, we could correlate more bullish conditions to risk assets in the equity and commodity spaces as well. Looking to the lower panel we can see GoNoGo Oscillator broke through the zero line into positive territory the week of Dec 27, 2021, retested the objective neutral levels of all blended momentum indicators, found support, and has rallied positive again on heavy volume (the line is dark blue on heavy volume, aqua on light volume). GoNoGo charts paint conditions in real-time, so this final weekly bar is still forming with two days of trading data yet to be factored in, but the weight of the evidence points to the upside. Better Charts. Better Decisions. GoNoGo Charts.

Credit markets signal danger if HYG continues below 84HYG can be used as a proxy to indicate health of U.S. credit markets, which is an economic backbone. Since my recent post about macro indicators, HYG has fallen further. You can see on chart that every move below 84.00 corresponds with a market downturn. So if January stock market declines happened as HYG kept going below 86 and 85, you can imagine greater market declines if HYG keeps falling. IF, keyword. Further, this fits with the Fed statement that asset purchases will be reduced. Less systemic liquidity will drop markets. Junk bonds are seeming less attractive. Corporate credit tightens when Fed reduces liquidity. Applied to consumer credit, the nonstop loan and credit offers flooding mailboxes in 2020 have stopped (okay, greatly reduced). I will be buying March expiry puts if HYG breaks 84.

HYG Death Cross... Caution WarrantedHYG put in a Death Cross last week and this week, on November 22nd, HYG lost the October 11th low with SPY selling off heavy into the close. We may backtest the October 11th low but this is a potential negative indicator for equity risk on. Equities tend follow lockstep with high yield, or so they have with every major selloff since 2007-2008. This is something to keep an eye on over the next week or so, especially after Thanksgiving.

Negative Rate Cut? Powell Wants a Correction $SPYThe markets are at a crucial spot and Powell is due for a decision soon... The chance of negative rates is low but definitely not out of the picture and if that happens, TLT will pump and HYG/IWM will dump (yes SPY too). Timing will be hard but the pressure is certainly building and is confirmed on the technical side of things. $TLT tested a crucial level at $148.9 this last week which could signal weakness in the equity/bond market as well as the Dollar. Either A) things will spin out of control regarding Delta variant and TLT will breakout or we could see this melt-up continue for roughly 4-5 more months before seeing IWM and the rest of the market make its correction. If TLT were to fall the market could also very likely follow to the downside, this environment is choppy. On the other hand, we watch IWM as it typically can signal weakness in the market via smaller cap companies. If the markets do correct, puts on IWM/HYG will pay beautifully. I'll give this 6 - 8 month then pop, otherwise my short position will get stopped and we could just continue to melt up until the next election. Also whether Crypto has it's one or two top cycle will play a part in all this as money will either transfer away or to the Crypto market (& possibly away from other markets). It should go as followed If markets do correct to the downside: 1) TLT will breakout and possibly melt quickly as done in 2020 or flash crash. SPY/ETFs could see a gap down then trend up to retest as resistance 2) SPY will begin its bleed, IWM HYG leads the way to the downside. 3) Metals and Cryptos seem like they could move in sync. Cryptos might even lead the way. The one question I ask is if people sell out of both Cryptos and Stocks, where does their money go? Will this create the largest spending era or send us into a depression? Share your thoughts below DCJ | Melt-Up or Short
