TLT trade ideas
One of the most beautiful charts $TLT Wow what a beautiful chart. Almost done with a full market cycle. You may know this as a "dead cat bounce" or the "ANGER" part of the cycle... lol.... but we haven't even hit depression!? woooooo lol. What this indicates is that ole Jerome Powell boy isnt done raising rates..... and he is for sure going to keep them higher for longer... the next couple of years according to timing on this chart. "higher for longer"
Self explanatory chart.... just a thing of beauty
Opening (IRA): TLT November 17th 94 Short Put... for a .75 credit.
Comments: Continuing to build out rungs in 20-year plus maturity paper, targeting the 16 delta strike to emulate an equities/bond mix in my portfolio using short puts, particularly since TLT 30-day is actually greater than that in SPY (15.1% for the former; 13.0% for the latter).
As usual, I'm fine with taking assignment of shares at this level and then proceeding to "cover" (i.e., sell call against) if that happens.
Treasuries on track for a crash in H2'23. 10Y above 10%.The triangle within wave 4 has ended. Either today, or on May 3rd. What will happen next has never happened before. The crash in Treasuries in extended wave 5 is scheduled for H2 - the time when 10Y will definitely hit above 10%, dragging the entire market as low as SPX 1000...1500.
The closest analogy to the coming crash is 1929. But remember - the crash of 1929 was just a correction within a 100-year long trend, which finally ended on Jan 4th this year.
The coming crash will be one fractal level higher: it will be part of the correction to the entire 100-year long bull market in the US.
Opening (IRA): TLT July 21st 92 Short Put... for a .63 credit.
Comments: With 20 year+ maturity paper 30-day IV greater than that of SPY, adding a smidge to my position here at better strikes (but still around 16 delta) than what I currently have on.
As with my broad market positions in IWM, QQQ, and SPY, looking to emulate dollar cost averaging into long-dated treasuries here without actually hanging out in stock.
Update On Interest RatesRate Update!
The United States, being the world's largest economy, often sets the tone for global interest rate trends. The Federal Reserve, the country's central bank, has been carefully monitoring economic indicators and inflationary pressures. Recent data have shown signs of rising inflation, prompting the Fed to adopt a more hawkish stance. While no immediate rate hikes have been implemented, market participants anticipate that the Fed may increase rates in the near future to curb inflation and maintain price stability.
TLT: UNDERVALUED, OVERVALUED OR JUST OVER? (INVERTED CHART)While doing some research for this chart I noticed this article titled: Noteworthy ETF Inflows: TLT.
Being that the charts generally tell you what is going on before the news does, this made a lot of sense
and what I would be expecting to see, given the broader economic conditions of the Earth realm.
Looking at an inverted chart illustrates quite clearly, what kind of price action we can, most likely,
anticipate from the TLT ETF. I have much more to add to this chart but my time has run out this
morning. So look for updates moving forward.
Da bondsThis is the NASDAQ:TLT I'm long the AMEX:TMF and going to be long the AMEX:ZROZ as well with this good debt ceiling news.
On the chart I'm seeing a bottoming candle in a demand zone on the weekly chart.
I'm also seeing high volume maintaining.
Furthermore, those moving averages are close together, so I think the extraordinary signal will be NASDAQ:TLT above $110 and those moving averages crossing.
I could hold this trade for years and not care while collecting dividends.
Another thing, in 2011 we got a deal and the day of the vote everything freaked out then our debt got downgraded and bonds rocketed.
This is a great RR imo.
BITO, FXE, GLD, TLTThe markets BITO, FXE, GLD, TLT are all under extreme downleg compressions. A resolution or resolution failure could cause an extreme reaction in any or all of these markets. If there is a marked retracement in any of these markets an out of the money call position could offer an exceptional opportunity even if only one of these markets complies, IMHO.
TLT / TBT Ratio - a bonds long and short oscillatorOn the daily chart- I have plotted the TLT (Long Bond Leveraged) ETF vs the TBT (Short
Inverse) as a ratio. The ratio is running on a cycle between high and low. On the chart for
reference is a Hull Moving Average of 20 days. A more frequency cyling could be achieved
with a paid Tradingview subscription and a charting time frame of 2 or 4 hours.
For the trading idea, when the hull moving average is upgoing and the price is above it, the TLT
can be bought while when the moving average of the ratio is decreasing and price is under it,
the TBT can be bought. At a high pivot point, all TLT is liquidated and a TBT trade is taken .
For a low pivot point, TBT positions are closed and TLT long trades are taken. The best trades
are at the pivot points and when a doulble top or bottom are put onto the chart.
$29.99 by Aug-Sept 2023? Impossible.Treasuries are falling and nobody seems to care. The comparison to the Titanic is very valid. That scene from the movie, when the ship has already hit an iceberg, the engines brought to a halt, but the rich kids just keep playing with chunks of ice on the upper deck. Close-up on a bar table.. and a glass of whisky slides off, falls on the deck and breaks into smithereens. End of part One.
I will tell you what's going to happen next. First, we will see TLT at 88-92. This will mark the end of wave 1 of the sell-of in green wave 5. Once the correction is over, the sell-off will continue, and when we break below 88, it's all gone: we will almost immediately see 40..45. This will mark the end of wave 3 of green wave 5. The downtrend will continue after a brief correction in wave 5 of 5. I will dare make a prediction that TLT will reach below 30 at the tip of wave 5 of 5.
$29.99 anyone?
By the time TLT reaches 29.99:
- SPX will be at 1500,
- EURUSD will be at 0.75
- USDJPY will be at ~100
- EURJPY will break below 88
- 10Y will to my great delight break above 10%.
Oh, and Ukraine will start peace talks with Russia on Russia's terms..
