TLT trade ideas

$TLT: Preparing to buy when safeI am monitoring bonds here, as we are approaching the target of a weekly down trend signal that fired recently, while the monthly timeframe trend is about to reach its end. By the end of September, the odds of a reversal in bonds will be very high, while equities are looking like they could crash lower from here possibly, and we could get inflation to come down, likely due to the effect of recessionary forces at play thanks to Powell's hawkishness. Since the Federal Reserve is hell bent on killing inflation hiking rates, and the data they use won't make them worry about this course of action until it's likely too late, odds of something breaking badly here are substantial. As such, I'm eager to spot the bottom in $TLT / $ZROZ to invest. We have a decent enough juncture here, where it starts making sense to pay attention to reversal cues in multiple timeframes and monitor signals closely to go long big time when confirmed. Best of luck, Ivan Labrie.

Ok that's it....Publishing this chart, I have been wrong on TLT for a while now. although I don't think my charting is completely inaccurate. So I welcome ideas and your opinions if you're willing to share. I believe this is significant time and that we are at the convergence of both technicals and macro factors. Technicals : We are on the support line that was created by the two lows on mid-Dec 2016 and late Oct 2018. that Support line coincides with the the apex of the falling wedge that originated on March 15 2021 - the Statistics about WEdges aren't the best. Numbers show that they are not very reliable at indicationg a trend reversal (Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns by Bulkowski). While I am hopeful this would be part of a bottom formation and reversal, I am not super confident. If we break that 106.... there is lot of downside to come. Macro : Wednesday will be the potential 100bps increase by the fed which would result in the sentiment that peak inflation seemingly behind us and the possible "official" announcement of recession seem to be the most important factor for a bounce in TLT. Ok, so I would be bullish from here and will DCA a bit more this month. Hope this helps.

Long Duration Bonds (TLT)We haven't had to manage cycle risk, on a sustained basis to the downside, since 2008-2009 and 2000-2002. The biggest problem in financial markets right now is there's no Event. This is just Cycle-Risk and we haven't had to manage cycle risk - on a sustained basis to the downside - since '08-'09, and 2000-2000 before then. The Fed is in QT. Financial conditions are still in accommodative territory, according to the Financial Conditions Index, and we have a long way to go. We will not see any dovish actions from the Fed until the economy deteriorates significantly. I'm convinced we're past the peak in terms of inflationary pressures. Looking at our portfolio, the #1 thing we aren't allocated to is duration. I think the long bond could rally 20-35% from here. I think when it moves, it's not going to let you back in the trade. The world is short-duration right now. Tons of cash on the sidelines. The dollar rising has been supporting U.S. equities. When it deflates, there will be a significant change in style factors. Expect a significant reversal in sector and style factors ahead. Simple rule on when to enter a long bond trade: It's compelling, given historical backtest, to go long the long bond when the year-over-year inflation rate peaks.

Recessions and the Flight to SafteyEven though the great recession was ongoing for almost a year prior to being dated by the NBER, it was the announcement itself that started the massive migration from stocks to bonds. The purple square encapsulates this time range. It is best to enter this position before an announcement, which some market participants did. At the current growth rate, we will be in a recession anywhere around October - January, after mass layoffs result in unemployment across the economy. The NBER has responded more quickly in dating the more recent COVID-19 2020 recession, which lasted only a few months and announced around four months after it started.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Long the Treasury MarketHave you ever been told that stocks only go up? How about not trying to time the market? If you have, you might just be the exit liquidity the credit market needs. In this chart I will help you avoid losing money in the next two quarters by rolling your portfolio into cash and the treasury market. If you have followed the last few charts, you are already sitting in a cash portfolio as we head into a disinflationary period. That's right, inflation has already peaked even though the credit market is pricing in a potential 100 basis point hike this month. What isn't being priced in is the recession coming around q4 or q1. This is an opportunity for you to roll some cash into the treasury market and make some gains on top of not losing money. You may have heard something like "the treasury market is broken bro". This is from people that don't understand the dynamics of the treasury market. The treasury instruments do not perform well when interests rates are going up, but the up and coming recession will sharply slice inflation in a very short period of time. This will result in a fed pause. This isn't priced in yet because interest expectations are too high to account for a rapid recessionary disinflation. Look at how quickly TLT started to make gains after the fed stimulated the economy during the pandemic. This is the ideal time to start a DCA into the treasury market because the credit market is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that a soft landing isn't going to happen. When they do, the treasuries will pump in anticipation of a fed pause or even a pivot. I don't think a pivot will happen without a pause, but the credit market, being the pack of wild dogs they are, will conflate the two. This is a trade that might have a very small bit of downside to it at first because of a potential basis point increase, so if you can't handle that, a DCA over the next month or two is best.

TLT nearing bottom Still in line with my previous analysis. I approach this from an Elliot Wave perspective with Fibonacci relationship. To me this looks like a macro ABC with final leg down reaching extremes. We are likely in a bullish divergence territory on a Weekly Chart. The chart above is Daily for easier wave count to pin point where C might end. The support box is in gray; this is an area where a price could react with a strong bounce or reversal. As you can see we are already there so support could be found very soon. Another fib support coming up in the 90-96 range where I feel there is a strong possibility for a bottom (not guaranteed, hunting bottoms is a dangerous game). If we take a trend line in wave C from ii to iv and measure the trajectory of where v should end, it also points at a region of 90-96. If the market presents this opportunity it has a number of supports coming together all in that particular area. This bottom could mark the top in US10Y and other treasury bonds since they move inverse to TLT. Also the dollar index is hinting at a top and pushing extremes so I expect a reversal or a top in Sep-Oct timeframe. The month of September / October (2022) might come with fire works! Not a financial advice. Cheers,

TLT Bond ETF Setup for Reversal to LONGNASDAQ:TLT On the 4H Chart, TLT is sitting on minor support with major support below that. It is near to the bottom of open Bollinger Bands and is inclined to move through the basis line closer to the upper band. Significant resistance is 5 and 15% upside. I see a swing long trade with the stop loss below the major support and targets before the major resistances, yielding a very good reward for risk. Call options are another possibility to consider.
