U.S. Bond Yields and Why I Closed My Shortstl;dr there is no strong fundamental reason for bond yields to go up, bitcoin will rally
As of publishing,
US10 bond yields: 1.47%
US inflation: 1.40%
Reasons for rising bond yields/inflation
Re-opening U.S. economy via easing COVID-19 lockdowns would stimulate consumer spending, therefore inflation should go up
Because bonds have been taking a nose dive
Speculators dumping bonds as they are now perceived as risk > gain
Reasons against rising bond yields/inflation:
A low rate world is beneficial towards economic stimulus, encouraging consumers to take on loans, or spend more to help businesses
The current 2021 U.S. Administration will be airdropping $1400 tokens -- correction, $1400 USD. Would you assume this would help the economy? I assume not. Take a look at fred.stlouisfed.org This shows the % of funds that the average person spends towards savings or capital markets (stocks). I don't see much local economic stimulus; rather digital stimulus. This does not benefit small businesses. There is also the fact that stimulus will be used to pay overdue debt. It is helpful, but it will not cause inflation.
*Sorry, this was half-baked but I had to get it out there.
5% would be a range buster or a good target to TP

Macroeconomics 101: inflation, bonds, interest rates, stocksHello fellow traders and dear padawans. The equities market has been hit very hard the past 3 weeks or so, specially growth stocks. I think it is important to address what is happening behind the scenes that caused the selloff in the equities market so that many of you can better understand what is going on.
This is a very basic explanation of macroeconomics and by no means thorough but I know that many of my followers would benefit from it at times like these. To establish a common ground I will start with some definitions of terms. I wanted to keep things straight forward so I am getting these definitions from investopedia.com because they did a much better job than I would, defining terms thoroughly yet concisely. Keep in mind these are short definitions of concepts that deserve in-depth study if you want to understand them fully. However, for the purpose of this discussion what follows is enough (you can always read full articles on investopedia.com or somewhere else). If you are well versed on those you can certainly skip ahead (or use this as a refresher).
DEFINITIONS
Inflation : Inflation is the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time. A quantitative estimate of the rate at which the decline in purchasing power occurs can be reflected in the increase of an average price level of a basket of selected goods and services in an economy over some period of time. The rise in the general level of prices, often expressed a a percentage means that a unit of currency effectively buys less than it did in prior periods. Inflation can be contrasted with deflation, which occurs when the purchasing power of money increases and prices decline.
Bonds : A bond is a fixed income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower (typically corporate or governmental). A bond could be thought of as an I.O.U. between the lender and borrower that includes the details of the loan and its payments. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states, and sovereign governments to finance projects and operations. Owners of bonds are debtholders, or creditors, of the issuer. Bond details include the end date when the principal of the loan is due to be paid to the bond owner and usually includes the terms for variable or fixed interest payments made by the borrower.
Treasury Notes : A Treasury note (T-note for short) is a marketable U.S. government debt security with a fixed interest rate and a maturity between one and 10 years. Issued in maturities of two, three, five, seven and 10 years, Treasury notes are extremely popular investments, as there is a large secondary market that adds to their liquidity. Interest payments on the notes are made every six months until maturity. Treasury notes, bonds, and bills are all types of debt obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury. The key difference between them is their length of maturity. For example, a Treasury bond’s maturity exceeds 10 years and goes up to 30 years, making Treasury bonds the longest-dated, sovereign fixed-income security.
Federal Fund Rates : The federal funds rate refers to the interest rate that banks charge other banks for lending to them excess cash from their reserve balances on an overnight basis. By law, banks must maintain a reserve equal to a certain percentage of their deposits in an account at a Federal Reserve bank. The amount of money a bank must keep in its Fed account is known as a reserve requirement and is based on a percentage of the bank's total deposits. They are required to maintain non-interest-bearing accounts at Federal Reserve banks to ensure that they will have enough money to cover depositors' withdrawals and other obligations. Any money in their reserve that exceeds the required level is available for lending to other banks that might have a shortfall.
Note: although the Federal Fund Rates are charged to banks, banks pass them down to clients' personal/auto/student/mortgage loans and credit card interest rates so these interest rates cascade down to society as a whole.
With those out of the way we can start discussing the relationship they have with one another as well as the equities market and understand what is happening with the stock markets.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES
In general they have inverse correlation, meaning when one goes up the other goes down. The inverse correlation happens because when interest rates are low people feel encouraged to borrow money, which leads to more spending thus creating more demand of goods and services than supply. When demand is bigger than supply prices will increase to both slow down demand and also (perhaps more importantly) to increase profit margins, which leads to inflation. Because the Fed can manipulate short-term interest rates via the Federal Fund Rates they are able to somewhat control inflation. When interest rates are high the process is inverse to the one described above: people feel discouraged to borrow and spend money; instead they prefer to invest in a fixed income instrument such as high yield savings accounts, CD, or bonds to take advantage of the high yields. It is therefore the job of the Fed to keep inflation and interest rates in balance.
Although not everybody agrees, it is understood by economists in general that some inflation is good for economy because it encourages consumers to spend their money and debtors to pay their debt with money that is less valuable than when they borrowed it. Thus some inflation drives economic growth. One of these economists is John Maynard Keynes, who believed that if prices of consumer goods are continuously falling people hold off on their purchases because they think they will get a better deal later on (who doesn't like a good discount?).
Another important element that factors into inflation is how much liquidity is injected in the economy (cash, or money supply). More money would translate into more demand and rise in prices.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOND PRICES, BOND YIELDS (or INTEREST RATES), and INFLATION
Bond prices and yields also have an inverse correlation: if the bond certificate price (AKA face value , or what the bond certificate is worth) increases the yield decreases and vice-versa. To make things simple and to better illustrate how bond prices and yields are related the example below uses what is known as ZERO-COUPON BOND, where the yield is derived from the relationship between the coupon payout and the bond face value (back in the day the bond certificate--a piece of paper--had small coupons that investors would rip off and present to the borrower to redeem their yields. That terminology is still used to this day although these coupons are not used anymore).
Example: if the bond price is $1,000 and the borrower receives $1,100 back at the end of one year, the so-called coupon rate (the yield paid for each bond certificate throughout the lifetime of the bond) is 10% . So the formula to find the coupon rate is: COUPON RATE = ANNUALIZED COUPON VALUE/BOND FACE VALUE; in this case, 100/1000, or 0.1. That formula helps to understand why the bond price and bond yield (coupon rate) have an inverse correlation. It is important to keep in mind that bond yields reflect genereal interest rates. Like interest rates they can move up or down
Like other asset classes such as options, a bond certificate holder can sell that certificate back to the market (known as secondary market). If the current bond yield is lower than when the bond holder "bought" their bond it may be interesting for them to consider selling it because it is now more valuable than when they bought it due to the inverse correlation discussed above. So for bond holders, decrease in interest rates is beneficial.
Hopefully it is also clear that a rise in inflation that results in higher interest rates affects bond holders negatively. Who would want to sell a bond that is now less valuable than when they bought it? However, higher bond yields are attractive to new bond investors because it gives them more return for their investment overtime.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 10-YEAR TREASURY NOTES AND ITS YIELD
The government sells Treasury Bills/Notes/Bonds via auction. The yield of bonds is determined by investors' bids. The 10-year-yield's importance goes beyond the rate of return for investors; mortgage interest rates are derived from the 10-year yield for instance. But for the purpose of this text, it is important to understand that the market relies on the 10-year to gauge investors's confidence. Here we see another inverse correlation: if confidence is high, the 10-year yield rises and bond prices drop and vice-versa. Any change in the 10-year yield is closely watched by the markets and has enormous impact in other asset classes.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: BOND YIELDS, STIMULUS, EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS, STOCKS, AND THE FED
When Treasury bond yields rise bonds become an attractive investment because it is a safer than stocks--specially growth stocks where investors are placing their money on future success as opposed to present profits--since it is backed by the US government and provides fixed returns. While bond investors don't enjoy the big rallies of the stock market they also don't expose their capital to volatility and crashes.
With the reopening of the economy in clear sight due to vaccination, and the better than expected job reports investors started fearing higher inflation. That is a simple math: more people making money and out on the streets will boost consumption, which will lead to rise in prices. As explained before, higher inflation causes the Fed to adjustment interest rates, which causes bond prices to fall and yield to rise. Despite what Jerome Powell has said last week--that inflation rise is going to be temporary--investors didn't feel much confidence, which caused the recent sharp rise in the 10-year yield Treasury. With that, bonds became a good alternative to the stock market, causing investors to reallocate some of their capital into bonds. That and the fear caused by falling prices and the media (most of the media fuels panic--one month later everything is green again) resulted in the huge selloff we have seen the past weeks.
CONCLUSION
Phew, that was a lot. As I wrote on the preface of this text this is an overview of the subject matter so you can always read up on each one of the areas covered here to get more in-depth knowledge. However, I think this provides a good summary of what is going on on the markets right now. Hopefully you will have filled some gaps on your knowledge and will start making more sense of the interrelationship of the many aspects of economy covered here. This is a difficult subject to write about so I apologize if any idea is unclear. I can always clarify anything on the comments.
Bottom line: when things are clearer (inflation + interest rates) the markets will most likely stabilize and follow its due course. Growth stocks will continue growing (perhaps at a slower pace) and you will continue making good returns on good companies. I am using this selloff as an opportunity to lower my cost basis and enter positions in stocks that were too expensive before. Sometimes a pullback is all you were looking for even if you lose money in the short term. And hey, one can always buy put options to hedge against their long positions.
Good luck and safe trades!

USG bond ETF $TLT options, inspired by CryptoHayesHello. This is my overnight setup for the weekend. I wanted to hold short or open long equities rather than bonds but it's not feasible at the moment.
Unfortunately this is posted after market close, but will serve as a journal for how poorly/fantastically I play it.
A funky strangle, with a 1:1:1 ratio:
Mar 19 +140C @ 0.65
Mar 19 +135P @ 1.45
Apr 16 +100P @ 0.07
Profit zone:
~$133 > x < ~$141
What I am planning:
For TLT to rise rapidly and CryptoHayes to be wrong, letting me roll/close in profit, covering the initial costs of all 3 positions along with profit. This is why i decided to buy the calls closer to the money. If I am wrong on Monday's directional close, I will likely close all 3 positions and take the loss. The expiries are not good.
Mistakes I can point out immediately:
I've chosen options too close to expiry
I expect movement and have not hedged for no mvement
I may have opened too early just to have a position open
Personal consumption is on the rise, and that may lead to inflation
Reason for the Mar 19 140C call: I am very bullish on bonds due to recent news. Stimulus, taxes confirmed not to be reduced. You've got to be mental to think the USG would want to raise rates. Though consumer spending is almost back to previous highs...
Reason for Mar 19 135P: Maybe it'll go down now. Reflation due to easing of Covid lockdowns.
Reason for Apr 16 100P: I'm certain this is not how you do it, but it's my "tail risk", cheap hedge in case yield hell breaks loose.
Better picture because the preview is missing some items:
% Compare of TLT and 30 year yield
Personal Consumption
What's CryptoHayes would have instead recommended: go ape mode on bitcoin, ape mode hedge on bond yields.
Gbp-UsdAbove, in black the rate differential UK 10-Year Bond Yield-US 10-Year Bond Yield, in orange Gbp-Usd. The two charts should move in tandem, but this is not always the case. It is also true that this is not a normal period, Covid-19 has been negatively affecting the world economy for a year. However, the two charts will move back in tandem, sooner or later.
Below, the Gbp-Usd daily chart with the first sensitive levels (1.39500, 1.36750, 1.33600, 1.31000, 1.29500).
TSLA. Is the correction over? Time to Buy!After my idea about a correction in NASDAQ:TSLA , it's time for a follow-up. There is strong support at $560, while our target for 2021 is above $1200. So it makes sense to buy and buy aggressively at these levels. I see pre-market today opening lower than last close, but that doesn't bother me at all. The scare from rising interest rates is already priced in and has already taken effect over the past two weeks.
Do not over-lever your trade. That's just my opinion. The absolute low in my estimation is at $440. So if you lever 5:1 for example, you might easily get liquidated.
Dow Jones ( TVC:DJI ) has room to fall until 27000. That's a 10% drop from current levels. See the following chart.
But the S&P500 has only 8% room to fall before it reaches major support. Judging by previous drops, that usually translates to a 16% drop in TSLA, which takes us to $560.
Conclusion : TSLA is at a strong buy in my opinion right now and all the way down to $560. The risk is low but the reward is high short-term and extremely high long-term.
Is Groupon another recovery play?Groupon took a big hit in march 2020 when covid became pandemic. Ever since then it has developed a well formed upward channel to 30-40 dollar price range. It has always been in my radar for a recovery play but however I never press the button to open a position until recently it started edged up from $35-$38 just before its earning release. I was hoping the recent turmoil could bring it back to $35 range but it just never hit my buy order.
Of course what happened after is well known by now, NASDAQ:GRPN earning well exceeded everyone's expectation and its price shot way up to $43.
While I continue to be bullish about this stock but I always try to control my risk/reward ratio to 1:1.5 like many of my other recommendations. So I would hope Groupon's stock price could consolidate back to $38, which I have already put a buy order there to open a position with $35 as my cut loss... with an upside price target at the mid-way of its trading range prior to the covid drop at $53 dollar....although It may never come back to $38 anymore.
If the recent bond yield fiasco cool down back to <1.2% I would be keen to raise my entry point a bit up to $40....At the time of this writing, I have no position in Groupon.
If you like my idea, you could show your support by buying me a coffee here
US10Y Similarities of 2020/21 with 2008/9This study brings forward the similarities of today's price action on the U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield with 2008-2009 on the 1W time-frame.
* In 2008, the bottom was made shortly after the Quantitative Easing 1 (QE1) was initiated in order to offset the sub-prime mortgage Crisis. In 2020 the bottom was made shortly after the 1st Stimulus packaged was initiated in order to offset the COVID-19 Crisis.
* In 2009, the strong rebound that followed broke above the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) but the MA200 (orange) held, emerging as a Resistance and eventually rejecting the price. So far today, the US10Y is way above the MA50 approaching the MA200.
* That rebound formed the fastest/ strongest 1W MACD rise in more than one decade on both periods.
* There is a Symmetrical Support Zone involved in both cases.
* A Golden Cross and a Death Cross preceded both periods.
Will history be repeated?

NASDAQ - Bearish or Bullish? As you probably are aware, 10 year yields are have been increasing for the past week or so as the fear of raising interest rates increases. In short, yields go up with interest rates as bond prices decrease. When rates are projected to go up - as markets are a forward looking indicator - stock prices will decline as investors are pricing in a higher cost of capital for companies across the board. The companies that are impacted the most are growth stocks such as the ones listed in the Russell 2000 and NASDAQ 100. These companies get hit harder by decreasing interest rates because they are borrowing at a higher rate than value companies such as Walmart or United Parcel Services.
On the 4 hour NASDAQ futures chart, price action has held the 180 day EMA as well as the green uptrend line very strongly since the COVID - 19 crash. There have been two times since December 8th where the NASDAQ futures price action has broken below 180 EMA. In both cases, the NASDAQ failed to turn bearish shortly reversing and turning higher. Obviously, this time it's different for the reason that I mentioned above - interest rates.
On the 4 hour chart, NASDAQ Futures has sold off around 9% over the past week - flirting with corrective territory. Previously, NASDAQ Futures sold off close to 12,671.25 before appearing to have turned bullish prior to getting rejected by the 180 day EMA. After the 180 EMA rejection, NASDAQ Futures touched 12,671.25 and appears to making a break to 13,130.50. I am currently holding TQQQ (ProShares UltraPro QQQ) which is a 3x leveraged ETF on QQQ. At the time of writing this, I am currently down on my position with plans to add to my position if NASDAQ Futures can break above and hold the green uptrend line that I have drawn. As of right now, the key level that I am watching is 13,130.50 with hopes that the NASDAQ Futures can break above the 180 EMA (Blue Line) with volume. In my personal opinion, I would turn more bullish on the NASDAQ and even more bullish on TQQQ if the NASDAQ Futures can hold the 180 EMA (Blue Line) with the 20 EMA (White Line) and 50 EMA (Orange Line) crossing over the 180 EMA with volume.
US10Y Testing a symmetrical level. Potential Resistance.One of the hot topics in the market recently has been the rising bond yields. The US Government Bond 10 year yield traded this week inside a Zone that has formerly been (from 2011 to 2019) a long-term Support level as clearly illustrated on the chart.
With the RSI on the 1W time-frame also entering its Resistance Zone (holding since 1996) and the MACD approaching its own, can this mean that the US10Y has topped? It is not impossible that what used to be a Support Zone, will now turn into a Resistance.
What do you think?

10 Year Treasury yield at resistance levelThe 10 Year Treasury yields have bounced aggressively from all time lows. However, we are not at the August/September 2020 lows which coincides magically (lookup the gold number found everywhere in the Cosmos) with the 38.2% fibo retracement from the highs to the lows. If rates go sideways or correct from here, we're likely going to see a bounce in the Nasdaq which is currently near the 100 DMA bounce level...
$TQQQ Market Correction DDThe market was extremely bloody last night, where we saw $TQQQ trading at highs of $98.07 at one point and subsequently closing at $87.90. I believe this can be attributed to the rising bond yields trend we are currently witnessing, particularly in the 5 year and 10 year treasury yield.
Between the start of February 2021 to February 24th, the 5 year treasury yield has been steadily increasing at an average of 0.01 to 0.03 daily, while the 10 year treasury yield has been increasing at an average of 0.01 to 0.04 daily.
However, yesterday on the 25th of February, this skyrocketed. The 5 year treasury yield shot up by 0.19 from 0.62 to 0.82, while the 10 year treasury yield shot up by 0.16 from 1.38 to 1.54. Typically, when the 5 year treasury yield goes beyond the 0.75% threshold and the 10 year treasury yield goes above the 1.50% threshold, the stock market tend to sell off in reaction to that. This huge one-day surge in yield return as a result of a lack of interest in bonds likely exacerbated the sell-off.
I believe that this correction is extremely healthy in a market where a lot of the valuations are rather high; and this is unlikely the "huge market crash" or the "bubble pop" premonition that many investors are fearful for, especially considering the fact that a huge $1.9 trillion stimulus will be incoming.
However, it will undoubtedly do us good to remain cautious and keep some cash on the side because in the short-term, the hardening of yields will likely lead to some volatility - which means more frequent dips for you to average your positions; but more importantly, eventually, the consequences of printing these money will likely catch up to us in the form of record-level inflation and interest rate rise, possibly killing the bull run - and we need to be prepared for it.
For now, I expect growth from the support zone of this bullish channel back to the $100 to $110 range.
This is not investment advice so please do your own due diligence!

GOLD and BOND yields. Can they rise together?A lot of talk has been done lately regarding Gold's continuous drop and its correlation with the bond yields and rightly so. As the chart below shows, since 2015 in particular the negative (inverse) correlation of Gold (XAUUSD) with bonds (US10Y in particular used in this study) is evident. Every time the bond yields rise, Gold loses value as the two are in direct competition as low risk financial assets. Bonds in particular offer yields, a characteristic that Gold hasn't.
So as the chart above shows, the story hasn't been any different since the COVID pandemic struck the Western World in February 2020. The bonds got sold even lower and while they've been accumulating, Gold was used as a counter-inflation asset and rose aggressively. But since the August peak, we've seen Gold continuously being sold on Lower Highs, while bonds haven been rising and even above their March peak.
So will this correlation hold that will have Gold continue to fall as long as bond yields rise? The answer can be found on their historic multi-year regression, which is shown on the study's main chart.
As you see my focus is on two periods:
* (1) The Resistance break-outs . When Gold broke its 2011 Resistance (at the time All Time High) last July and when it broke above the 1996 Resistance in 2004. Those patterns are fairly similar in the sense that they both initiate a new Bull Cycle for Gold.
* (2) The start of the Quantitative Easing in 2008 to tackle the financial aftermath of the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the start of a series of stimulus to deal with the COVID19 crisis.
(1) As you see on the chart, when Gold broke above the first historic Resistance in 2004, it got immediately rejected back below it, similar to what happened on last July's break-out (and what we currently witness). At the same time, the US10Y has already entered a Channel Up from mid 2003 until mid 2007. This didn't affect Gold's trend, which as it recovered from the initial Resistance rejection, it continued its rise throughout the bond rise. Since the 2020 Resistance break-out has so many similarities with 2004, we may see Gold having a similar long-term bullish trend (a new Bull Cycle) regardless of the rising yields.
(2) That brings us to the comparison between the two "money printing" (or call it monetary easing if you like) periods on the chart. When Quantitative Easing 1 (QE1) was introduced in November 2008, Gold naturally started to rise (after an 8 month drop due to the market meltdown because of the sub-prime crisis) naturally as the market treated it as a counter to the upcoming inflation. At the same time while the yields initally fell, they started to rise (even on a very aggressive tone) in tandem with Gold. The situation brings resemblances to the current times. On March 2020 the first stimulus package was voted to offset the potential consequences (lock-downs) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gold was again immediately bought as a counter inflation asset while the yields after an initial fall and accumulation phase, the started rising (which is still the case to this date).
The above two key landmarks on Gold's historic price action, show that Gold and bond yields can rise together, in fact in times of monetary shocks such as November 2008 and March 2020, that seems to be the norm.
Does this mean it is only a matter of time before Gold resumes its long-term bullish trend within the currenct Cycle, regardless the fact that the yields may continue to rise. In my opinion yes and the catalyst can be very much be the upcoming vote on the new stimulus package.
But what do you think? Are you expecting Gold and the bond yields to rise together in the coming months?

US10Y VS S&P500 Dividend Yield = Market Crash?US10Y = 1.215% (yellow line)
S&P500 = 3955 points (orange line)
S&P500 DY = 1.48%
Personally, I think the catalyst for the next correction in the stock market may come directly from the bond market.
The logic is this: if the bond yield (US10) were to return 1.40% why should I take on more risk by investing in the stock market with a dividend yield of just over 1.40%? As an investor, I would prefer to sell equities and buy some bonds.
Surely the FED will intervene with control of the yield curve in order to avoid a sharp downward acceleration.
Have some markets shown they have already past a mid Jan peak?Some markets seem to have shown that they peaked in mid-January... indicated in their U.S. listed, $USD denominated, ETFs: Russia RSX, Brazil EWZ, India INDA, Thailand THD, Europe EWZ... and also in certain financial markets as indicated by a Commodity Tracking fund DBC, and see also the US Government Bond 5 Year Yield .
This Signal in Bond Yields Will Predict the Next Recession.After one of the most unexpected years, I thought I should take a step back and look at macroeconomics a little bit, at one specific chart that I've been watching. That is the German Government 10-Year Bond Yield (DE10Y). I've been anticipating a signal in that chart that will indicate massive shift in global market trends and will bring us closer to the next imminent recession. That signal is the breaking of the decades-long descending wedge.
The momentum is still bearish, and this week the price got rejected at the upper line of the wedge. If this continues downards, then the economy remains in the same state. Central banks are printing currency at an unprecedented rate, and inflation is showing on commodoties and stocks and everything else. Governments are sinking more into debt, and the best place to put your money remains the stock market. That is until this wedge breaks. Because when it does, the bond yields will accelerate upwards. It will become more costly to borrow money. And the economy will slow down again. But this time, it is slowing down while everyone is extremely leveraged and deep in debt. We want to maximize our profit but we do not want to be caught in that state. That is why I pay attention to this chart and the DXY.
There are many charts that can indicate the same outcome, but I choose to focus on one only that does the job.
Now according to some Fibonacci levels, I predict another touch in October 2021. By then, perhaps the majority of zombie companies will have declared bankruptcy. Is it too soon for that? Will government regulation delay that even further? No idea. Too many factors to watch. So let's keep watching this one key chart.
Bond Update #bondsThis breakout trade out of the December range (rectangle)to the downside to the lows set back in March has been even better then expected but as we approach those lows it is decision time again. Because I have good trade location I am going to hold the short position even if we get an immediate term bounce. I am watching to see if we can hold below 169'00. If we can the downtrend is still intact. How price reacts here at 167'00 will be interesting to watch though because if rates are really going to rise this time, the down move could be strong if we can make it below 167'00. Despite the FED and the economy not fully being open, bond yields are certainty indicating inflation for now.
Time for US BONDS=> Big Banks will Dump Stock Market!hello Millennials,
As we predicted on our youtube channel,
Time for US BONDS just started, Fed manipulation lost power and:
as bonds go UP,
Big Banks and Big Funds
will sell stocks and Buy Bonds, because it is safer than this crazy moment in the market.
So, Stock market incoming Sell pressure.
Good Luck and Good Profit
