Did the bond market fail?Over the last few months the 10yr bond market has been developing a long term inverted head and shoulder pattern. This was suggesting a test of the 200dma may be coming up soon and yields would continue to come down. However, today we saw a massive bearish engulfing and a move that almost wiped out last week’s entire move higher. This aggressive move lower in the notes, also dropped back below the inverted head and shoulder pattern neckline after a rejection of the 50% retracement. This false upside breakout could leave bulls holding the bag. The risk (now) is that bonds continue to slide back to the 50dma and yields continue to rally. This could affect the USDJPY as that pair has been very sensitive to the move in 10yr yields.

TNX - 10Yr Yields Sell Offers and Bond VX / Trouble
Bond Bagholders just never learn - this Secular Cult is doomed to extinction.
The two-year Treasury yield posted its biggest single-day jump since the
market volatility of March 2020.
Of course, this was after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell promoted
the Policy Flip Flop that the Fed will raise rates in March, and left the screen
porch door open for a quicker than-anticipated pace of rate increases.
The Dot Plot is wiggling in excitement.
IN reality, the FED will begin to Temper expectations.
It is what they do - Lie Cheat Steal / Delay.
10 Yr Yields have seen another fantastic ROC-driven Spike which advanced
well ahead of the Pre-Spring Meltup in 2021.
__________________________________________________________________
TNX will provide a very large indication as to how the preset Wedge on the ES/NQ
resolve, likely this week...
Keep it in purview at all times, sudden violent reactions are to be expected.
TNX - 10Yr Yield /'Come on IN Equity Dip Buyers"The waters warm - just fine and we assure you there are no
predatory creatures lurking about.
Please ignore the Trend.
Our assumptions include:
The Herd is always Correct.
CNCB and Lacy Hunt are "Pitch Perfect".
Rates are heading lower, towards ZERO.
TLT's hiccup this morning is nothing, simply a
small bump on the road until 172.
Debt doesn't matter, It's in the "Future" - we
never subscribe to the idea of "Back to the Future"
as our overlords are merely us from the Future...
We are cocksure confident - "This is It~!" No more
down, only up, the SELL is Over.
No one would dare SELL Bonds here with Negative
Real Returns.
No one would demand higher rates, ever... regardless
of the insurmountable DEBT Load.
The FED won't' permit the Bond Vigilantes to Price in
Inflation again as it is - wait for it... "TRANSitory.
Yeah, naw, wrong again desperados.
Looking rather forward to the NEXT SELL in TLT.

ZN - 10 Year Note / Lows of the Year Tested @ 1.612%Substantial Further Progress in Trade.
$120Billion in Taxpayer's Future Monies down the drain.
Job Creation does not come from the Prop in Equities.
Share Buybacks do not create Jobs nor do they have a lasting
effect upon Economic Activity.
They do, however - create issues for Bond Holders as Inflation
takes hold and remains persistent.
Wall Street fooled everyone - Steve Van Metre fans included.
Amazing
TNX - 10Yr Yield largest SELL Side Offer since Mid-FebruaryPricing in "Inflation" has been a series of rapid events for Price.
Yields began the highest velocity spike in History during the
January to April adjustment.
Bond Sellers have begun to increase their Sell.
Retail is now 83% Short against the NQ ES YM... ahead of the
most important Week we have had in Months, Since February.
TNX has run-up to its -.236, a Catalyst Level.
Duress in Bonds will further increase VX in Equities, both directions
as there are only a limited number of Capital Pools.
Money will flow where the returns can develop:
CASH
METALS
COMMODITIES
BONDS
STOCKS
REAL ESTATE
Crypto (Unregulated Illusory Capital)
Choose wisely, this cuts both ways.
It is remarkable how few Bond Holders did not envision this
possibility. The engrained mindset becomes one of defiance at
any cost to preserve the Cult's Dogma.
The Bond Market within the United States is ever so slowly
being destroyed, its destruction is accelerating for reasons
we have outlined repeatedly.
Trade Safe out there, disruptions are simply beginning.

10 Year Note YieldPrice is moving in a well-defined channel on the Shorter duration.
The DX remains stubbornly over 94, a level that appears to be acting
as Support for now.
A pause that refreshes, one that TLT is attempting to make sense of
in its way to 139.
TLT tracks a market-weighted index of debt issued by the US Treasury
with remaining maturities of 20 years or more out to 30 years.
What remains a clear divergence is the weighting to the Mid-Point
of the UST Curve.
TLT is sickly as ZB underperforms ZN to the downside, it holds up better
in a SELL due to duration.
This divergence has been growing for some time and provided a clear
indication all is not well in the Land of Wood Paneling.
A veneer so thin, you can see through it... if you are paying attention.
Fortunately, most do not, the tendency towards swilling the "conventional wisdom"
satisfies their cleft palates.
Repeated Pies in the face, a welcome event as Purchasing Power Parity continues
to decline. The Market is raising rates out the Curve in defiance of YCC.
The thinking is... you're borrowing insane amounts of Debt and we are collecting
Chicken Scratch... you'll need to pay us more.
You may control the Short end of the Curve, but out here... all you can do is offload
your accumulated Debt on your balance sheet to feed us - xoxo 007
Reverse Repurchases increased 60% in 30 Days to $1.621 Trillion.
60% in 30 days.
Yeah, naw, that is not going to work much longer - the revolt has simply just begun.
ZN - 10Year NoteWith extensive YCC - Price continues to move lower, creating an
even larger Divergence between Price and Yield.
Not at all constructive for Buyers.
Bonds are going to continue to grind up the Bigger Lies.
ROCs spooked the FED, so they are busy tamping down the
Fears.
Issue is, the Fear is all about Trust.
That has clearly broken.
