TLT - The Beginning Of The EndTLT has broken to the downside here.
Upside rejection and now probable collapse show that March 2020 was a blow off top and TLT is falling into a bear market.
200Dma will likely break soon and will be a technical bear market.
Retracement from the top rejected in the 0.382 area which is weak and spells doom and gloom.
We'll see how things develop but right here it looks like Burry was correct yet again.
Not advice.
TLT trade ideas
TLT - ThunderBall as TNX trades thru 1.564139s and perhaps lower as this will begin to unravel the Equity markets as we approach the prior
highs.
The Fuse for the next leg down in the Equity Complex is being lit.
And the reason for the RUSH to Wall Streets higher FIlls.
Things are quickly coming apart in the REPO Markets as well.
This sets up the potential for a large Rug Pull...
1.71 - 1.76 and it's going to get very Sporty.
Banks are not lending, higher rates do them very little.
Savers are being torqued by Inflation as the Wood Panelers and 007s
can't seem to find a Bid for their Junk Paper.
This will get nasty in the next 10 days.
Very Nasty, they are using the lul between Expiry in VX to hoist price as far as they can
only to let it go again.
We see 15K on NQ with the Gap at 15.2K and the Ledge 15.4K.
NQ has traded the -382 of the 15399 to 14367 decline.
With tomorrow's Macro Job / Employment Report, the silliness can get out of hand quickly.
IMHO, this will end rather badly as we roll back over and begin the 200SMA assualt.
TLT - Wood Paneling OptionalImpressive.
Once 10Yr Yields begin to close over 1.545...
1.76 and then 2.12 - 2.26 will be on the way.
It is remarkable how the Cult of 007s was winked
by the likes of CNBC and Steve Vam Metre.
Thank you 007s, as promised we took your Jing.
140 Puts are up nicely again.

tlt \\ wave 5 swingmorning,
tlt looks to have been in a prolonged triple 3 correction for this complex wave 4
triple 3's can be described as an area of re-accumulation by smart money, before the next mark up phase begins.
after hitting the downside wave 4 algo target perfectly today, i do think the triple 3 has been completed.
possible it hangs out around this range for a few more days to meet the fib-time ratio for this w4.
-------
my upside target sits at $157, but there's a good posibility it goes higher than what i am current projecting here.
stop loss below the 0.382
ps. the debt ceiling vote later today might play a big influence on where tlt goes next - so def make sure to keep a tight stop, just in case that vote ends up flopping.

Put ladders will be close in total and gains captured.
The 007's are yet to see the light and will Buy the Dip, we will oppose their ST Bid in
TLT.
Longer-term, TLT Structure looks Negative.
FED - What not to say this morning beginning @ 10 AM EST> 8:00 AM EST positioning will
provide the Micro Trend into Fed Reserve Bullhorns.
The attempt to calm the losing battle with YCC could see on more attempts at gaining the
upper hand.
TLT - Waiting on the RainIn the Kingdom of Wood Paneling TLT remains in a divdergent pattern as the Indicies continue
their Downside Objectives.
Bondies believe this is there Trump Card.
Indy Sell, Bonds ON for Bid.
Although this can true in the very short term, Wednesday will have a decidely different look
and feel to it.
It's good to see the usualy Baggies tossing their "Banter" into the discussion, it amounts to
"hey bro, how much are you down now?"
LOL, we're fine, thank you. Posiotnals are not for the weak, but those who have done the
work and analysis, seeing the larger game afoot.
We'll enjoy comparing notes soon enough.
We're patient, you all... not so much, as evidenced by your incessant and pedantice need to
"tout" your correctness...
And why not, you're in the lead for now :)
Adding 140-170 TLT Puts remains our trade plan as Bonds will join the downside events as
things in the Kingdom of the Rain are not at all well imho.
Stick around Fellas and keep loading up.
We're looking for the 139s to be whacked after Reality sets itself in...
Further evidence towards the stock market and crypto market crasTLT has formed a weekly cup and handle. I am very bullish on TLT, hence an upward shift would cause the markets to crash.
Supporting theories to my thesis of stock market crash
- S&P 500 has broken major trendline
- China's debt crisis
- Increased political tensions between US and China
- COVID consequences of restrained productivity and increased debt.
- Inflation concerns.
SPX500 vs TLT : Are you expecting a big than ever drop? When...Just a fast idea about correlation between SPX500 (US500) and TLT.
I'm more bearish than bullish over Sp500, however I just find out TLT correlation with market. Just read more...
I was expected a major drop here in September, but seems not strong enough.
My other target is around March / April. Why? Because of Financial results.
Can we expect super good gains in a market that drained every stock reserve in 2 year where retails "buyed everything they can find, while at home?" I suppose no.
You simply can't sell a 10$ Toys for 100$. If you can't find enough supply, at least you can rise price a little to 15$, maybe 20$. But if before you where able to sell 200.000 pcs x 10$ = 2M$, now you only have 10.000 x 15$ = 150.000$. Freaky!
Can we expect a faster recover in production while there are production "bottle necks" everywhere? I suppose no.
If I need 200.000 toys, I must find them. But if production limit is 1000 toys for week, and there are no stock reserve and high demand, my order must be shared with others. Price will be rise a little. And if my production machine broke, I must wait for a spare part. And if I produce Spare Part I must wait for chip supplier to produce it. To many "bottle necks" everywhere.
Can we expect a fast FED tapering? Maybe not, will only accelerate collapse. So anyone will stay in silence, waiting ... for collapse.
BUT WAIT... WHY TLT? IS IT WORTH?
Maybe not so worth, but higher TLT prices means less buying interest on Governative Bond. Lower prices means more are buying TLT, and this means "standard stock market credibility" just slowing down , melting off. Reads : sell stock & buy bond / commodities.
As always is only a matter of "capital movement" not to HODL till die. Just learn from Pro. Small gains everydays just build more capital than HODL.
YES BUT MY BTC STORE VALUE IS GREAT! TO THE MOOOON!
Ok, free to believe this. Only ask your self if Pro will really trust on BTC as temporary Store Value (like GOLD is only temporary) or if... they are going to screw every small retail.
TO MAKE IT SIMPLE
Whatever will happen, Oil prices, Tapering, Yield Interest, BTC to the moon... from a perspective of "simple buy and sell goods" we are already screwed. We need time to recap production, to fill warehouse, to arrange product stock supply reserve.
Hope is oil price will no go up any further, hope is in some sensate economical intervention, hope is... in cypto decentralization Fomo anarchic mind set.
Ok... We are all screwed. No way, only matter of time.
ONE LAST THING...
Can you figure the "Black Swan" when will enter in the play field? Who or what will be the Jolly Joker for a complete decline?
Share your vision.

TLT - Review for discussion10Yr Yields declined as international Capital Flows began demanding dollars out of the fear as to what is occurring outside the USSA.
Yields will remain under suppression due to YCC Interventions.
It is axiomatic the Trade is contrary to the Vast Herd of Bond Buyers, master of the obvious type
statements withstanding, We are opposing the TLT trade for the Interediate durations.
Demand for perceived "Safety" - the very last thing it actually is imho.
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.
BY Q3 2022, the axiom will be in full swing.
This is why the Equities Complex will begin a very rapid ascent
as Bonds and Real Estate Fail.
You can't keep a good bunch of Degenerates DOWN when
the TINA's are Nil.
Preteding Bonds are winning against Real Inflation is a large mistake imho, as in no
way are the underlying REAL VALUES keeping pace.
The USSA is heading into Chapter 11 and with it, it's primary feeder lot of Debt.
We continue to position within Options from 140 - 170.
Trading the TLT into Sells has repeatedly worked on 7 seperate occasions, it has more
than offset Put losses.
Today is simply another example of 151s failure to low 150s, yesterday it was the 151.50s
failure to lows. It is clockwork trading, simple, direct and to the point.
Pandering to losses seems to be en vougue for the Bond HODLers, a defense mechanism
for the Herd.
All's fair here, no issues there.
We will simply continue constructing a large SELL Position into the wreckage.
It will become 12.5% of Capital allocation,it is presently 3.9%.
No Margin required as that sits with the Buyers.
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: Make bonds great again?I'm concerned of broad risk off possibilities between now and EOY, as potential tax increases might impact the equity markets, going into effect from 2022 onwards...I was already concerned due to long term technical charts suggesting this year we would likely get the end of the bullish trend we had in equities since the 2009 bottom.
This week's turn of events has increased my fear levels substantially. I'm already long bonds and commodities via option positions as a hedge for my equities portfolio, but I think it is time to stay alert and not be inflexible and attempt to bag hodl ANYTHING forever.
There's a long list of bearish factors at play now, and it keeps getting worse the further we go into 2021, but stock market indices have gone vertical since last year so far.
I will try to time the top in individual stocks I hold, and trade with a mid to short term focus, so as not to take on a big drawdown by the time I can confirm a long term top in equities is happening. At some point this year, indices will stop going up, form a daily down trend and drop some 10-30%, then perhaps rebound and form a multi month or multi week consolidation before falling further, that will be the beginning of the end, and I don't want to react too late.
Biden is doing all he can to derail the long term bullish trend in US equities here. It's a sight to behold. Props to him, if that was his goal.
The last time we had yearly trends expiring in equities it was the year 2000, and a decade long sideways/bear market ensued where hodlers didn't have an easy time surviving.
You know what asset class did well during the crashes? Cash and cash alternatives...ergo, bonds.
Just some food for thought.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
