LONG TLTIdea: The stock market has been overbought in recent weeks. Bonds most often go in the opposite direction from the stock market. The market underestimates the persistence and slowness of the Fed, they very often raise the rate higher than required Position size 20% of the portfolioLongby pinokio660
TLTFalling wedge formed here. Friday we closed at resistance. A break out and we head to 105 A rejection and we melt down to finish and close gap at 99.50 Daily Candle finished with a bullish engulfing. Usually falling wedges have a retest of there former resistance after breaking out. So we could breakout, rally to 105 , then pullback and retest and also close gap at 99.50. Longby ContraryTrader6
Ascending Wedge in a Bearish TrendWedges that point towards the trend are usually signs of a reversal. On the other hand, when they point against the trend (as in this case) is a sign of momentum continuation. The short continues until there is an upper low in the trend ( double bottom ), indicating possible exaustion of the bear run.Shortby RAD2003_DRV0
TLT Part 1I've been saying all week that TLT needs to go below $100, pretty obvious looking at the chart. I'm assuming a bounce at "support", but if the Fed keeps talking about .50 in March then it could blow right through it. Bond traders are about to lose all of their profit for the calendar year..... You'd think they would use trailing stops.... maybe not I dunno, I am NOT a bond expert, certainly not in terms of trading bonds. by hungry_hippoUpdated 9912
Bonds Are About To Come Back..Oil always over react to inflation as history say. I think Bond prices are going to come right back up along with stocks. Meaning we are about to have a risk on event imo.Longby BigPippinSpendingGs0

TLT - 30 yr bond auction todayGuess the auction didn't go well, lol. Market is pricing in more rate hikes, and Euros did a pump and dump on CPI numbers earlier. Note that this drop caused the market to drop and BTC lost support right after. BTW, Auction schedule: home.treasury.gov The market's trading entirely on inflation and bond yield news right now, better pay attention.by hungry_hippo2
Fight or Flight.TLT is the most interesting instrument for me to analyze. That's what has me concerned about the upcoming CPI. You know when you are flying a plane and the instruments all start flashing and making noises. That's what is happening the past week in equities, bonds and FX. Trends are THE most important factor in a traders arsenal. TLT trend follows liquidity. If liquidity is rising (TLT UP), risk is on, if liquidity is drying up (order book getting thin), risk moves to off conditions. TLT and S&P 500 Dealer Directional Open Interest (DDOI) gamma exposure is another measurement of liquidity. Liquidity over the past week has been under tight control and pulling back in cases like TLT. While we are seeing big distributions intraday in equities from short squeezes and earnings hit or misses, I'm not reading that in liquidity. It could be the fact that all 3 hedged equity funds are positive and support along with long call flows that reminisce in 2020-21 Bull Market. Underlying weaknesses may be lurking post CPI. If TLT breaks this trend line lower (< 103), it will likely be the earliest indicator that liquidity is drying up. TLT on a positive uptrend meant positive flows in indexes. The trifecta, Bonds, S&P and Hedge Equity Flows all supportive flows. It's the primary reason I was bullish at the the following point. DXY is another important trend to follow. If US wants to export inflation, it would start with a trend reversal higher. I expect DXY will come back down to test the 20D prior to CPI (FEB 14). That's when I think when the fireworks will begin, maybe a LEFT tail and maybe a RIGHT I missed the last CPI print in my series on Has It Peaked. This idea and the Window of Weakness idea are just primers for what is shaping up to be an explosive few weeks ahead VIX is acting different these past few weeks. I think we are at a Nadir on the VIX and this CPI print right in front of VIXperation/OPEX is when we'll know Higher for Longer or Viva la'Bull FEB 14 - CPI FEB 15 - VIXPERATION FEB 18 - OPEX FEB 20 - Exchange Holiday So lots of potential for Volatility. Vol should be well supplied into CPI and depending on direction and how dealers are positioned for VIX/OPEX should see larger distributions than normal. Good if you're a convexity trader. FEB 20 Holiday is important because it's happening during a window of weakness while technical flows will be weakest until March. by SPYvsGMEUpdated 4417
TLT daily - warning warning TLT is in a symmetrical triangle and formed triple top just below 200 days MA or as we call it BigRed. TLT or 20 years bond is losing momentum, especially after job reports on Friday which is an indication of still hotter inflation or better say probably an increase in the FED fund rate in near future. It moves from the bottom really nicely on speculation that FED will stop increasing of its fund rate but for how long. Volume is more bearish than bullish as those red days are on increased volume. It is below all major MA which is bearish. RSI is in neutral territory. MACD is more bearish than bullish as the MACD line cross below the signal line signaling a lack of momentum in price while histograms tick lower and lower. Overall: TLT is in down spiral and is losing momentum which got from the idea that it is all over with rate hikes and that FED will pivot. However, after job reports and Powel statement, more FED fund rates increasing are in front of us, and it's becoming bearish. It could/should find some support at the lower trend line but likely not for a long time. Next week we will have the CPI report which will move TLT on one side or another. With breaking below the trend line short position would be triggered. From the bullish side, breaking above the trend line and BigRed buy signal would be triggered. by Consistent_Trades1

TLT possible support and bullish setup TLT had a nice reversal double bottom at the $93 area. It then started a nice uptrend to about $110. I marked this on the chart as the first leg of the trend based Fib tool. TLT then pulled back and found support at $100, this is the second leg of the trend based Fib on the chart. After that TLT tested the $110 area two more times which coincided with the .618 level on the Fib trend. Right now TLT is pulling back towards the Fib .382. This level is around $105.5 which also has several support touches. It is likely that TLT will bounce back from here to test $110 again IMO. If not, the stop loss can be pretty tight under 105.5 If $110 breaks, the 1:1 extension is at around $115. Longby Kalopida0

$TLT: Keep an eye on this$TLT has reached the end of a huge weekly and monthly down trend, and made me think it could be a long lasting bottom for fixed income here. Question is: Does this low hold after the next FOMC or not? The daily chart shows a setup where a daily uptrend is set to expire by tomorrow, which could mean the current advance is over, or, perhaps, it needs some time sideways to build for a new move to the upside over time. If you can figure out what bonds will do, you have pretty big odds of getting all the rest right overall, so I'm extremely motivated to figure out what comes next here. Keep an eye out for the daily signal outlook here, and be on guard for a weekly scale breakout to the upside to buy or add to existing longs. Cheers, Ivan Labrie.by IvanLabrieUpdated 8

Inverse Head & Shoulders Reversal Pattern ConfirmedAn inverse Head & Shoulders has confirmed the neckline with a price target of 127 by the end of June. Last Jan I posted this recession projection for TLT And then I projected the spike in yields on the 10Yr right before the Aug Rug Pull from Jerome Powell. Finally catching the double bottom reversal at the bottom at the lows of 91.85 Bond bears are calling this reversal a trap/mistake suggesting a Mistake in 2 rate cuts in the 2nd half of 2023. I only monitor TLT for technical analysis and to confirm / invalidate trends for the S&P 500. Not financial or trading advice.Longby SPYvsGMEUpdated 1111
Short to C wave, but im a buyer of the DipsI'm both a bull and a bear on the 20yr treasury etf (TLT).. I created a long term buy analysis basis on the bullish cypher pattern I see forming at the conclusion of D leg. I like the yield of the 20yr treasury bond which is over 4%.. The dividend yield on the 20yr Treasury etf is 2.49% currently, and I expect it to rise. The dividend is paid monthly. I see the yield rising as the price of TLT declines . I see the dividend yield potentially rising to 4% , that would be an outstanding monthly yield for long term holders. You can also sell puts here, or calls to generate revenue. Long term buyer, and Call writer (which will lower my cost basis, and return use the upfront premium to buy more shares of this etf, further increasing the yield and dividends)Shortby moneyflow_traderUpdated 3
Include $TLT in Your Portfolio 🪙Bonds are seriously underperforming stocks and TLT has been on a downtrend since the onset of Covid lockdowns when global governments printed massive amounts of money to prop up the equity markets. In Oct 2022, TLT broke below the 2014 low and then recovered nicely. I believe allocating like 10% in treasuries will be beneficial with the outlook of 2-4 years as we can expect the world to start to work around the sticky high interest rate environment.Longby raamraj2
Bullish Cypher set up Short to D leg then get bullishlooking at the 4hr chart of TLT, I see a Bullish Cypher set up in which im inclined to short from C leg to D leg. In addition, the AD and money flow is rolling over the 9/18ema on the 4hr chart.. Minimum target is $98, then look for direction if weakness still exists look for 93Shortby moneyflow_trader0
Treasuries 2023 outlook. Bad things will happen.The overwhelming majority of 1-3-5 structures exhibit the time property where the market spends less time between 3-5 compared to 1-3. The ratio between the two usually lies between 0.382 and 0.786. This gives us a very good indication that 2023 will indeed by the pivotal year for the Treasuries. It is my firm belief that the sell-off in Treasuries will reach a point where a global repricing of all yielding assets will happen, causing the crash in the markets worldwide. If it's not happening yet, it only means that Treasuries haven't moved low enough. They will keep grinding lower and investors will be forced to take notice. 2023 will be the time when SPX will hit 1500, while EURUSD will finally reach 0.75, and EURJPY will land below 88.Shortby AndyM333

LONG Term Treasuries With the yield curve inverted, inflation slowing rapidly and global growth expectations revised downwards, long term treasury bonds are looking like an excellent allocation right now. A reversion to 2% on 30 Year yields over the next couple of years would produce double digit Annualized returns. Full story here: matthewiesulauro.substack.comLongby IceTrading2
