RTY: One Hour time frame BullishThe RTY one hour time frame is in an up channel. The market hit the bottom of the channel and showing signs of pushing bullish towards the top of the channel. Entry: Counter trend line break bullish above the bottom of the channel. STOP: 2201.8 LIMIT: 2325.00 As long as the market stays above the bottom of the channel. It will be a good idea to turn to the five minute time frame and to look for tunnel trader long / destination trader long opportunities.

Long RUSSELL with Short Term UPTRENDTrend is up on the 4h chart and we are looking for entry before close to the swing low at the bottom of the first blue box. Drumming down to the 15 minute chart it is evident there has been an accumulation close to the pivot before the impulsive move (big green candles) that created the new swing low. Looking to buy at the BUY AREA with a Stop Loss set below this area should the trade fail, possibly marking a change of trend direction on the 4h chart. The only concern is that the Daily trend is more sideways and therefore profit potential is limited and probability of success slightly lowered. This said it is still a great short term trade opportunity.

RTY looking a little shortI have decided to go short on RTY here at 2271. Today might be the day for the big drop, but it do not have to be today. I think we are due for the fall. Volume has been low and my dynamic moving average is starting to curl down. This often is a meaning of volatility going to increase which VIX is showing to already. We have been ranging and I have a tight bollinger. My signal hasnt gone off yet but it will soon even if RTY goes up a bit. Good luck to all! Ms. Bunny

RTY - Russell 2000 a consistent Sell @ HighsIndependent Producers are being systematically crushed, slowly being wiped off the Competition Map. The Map itself is on a well defined Roll Up. Wreck them, collect them. Master of the obvious type stuff I know but many seem to cling to their hopes. The RUT has a large composition of Mixed Bags to hold. Weightings: Consumer Discretionary @ 13.1% Financials @ 15.1% Health Care @ 21..11% Industrials @ 15.35% Information Technology @ 14.13% Communications, Consumer Staples, Energy, Basic Materials, Utilities, Telecoms and Real Estate make up the balance. A horizontally opposed group of Sectors... On the surface of it, many would argue it is a balanced Index. It is certainly not, it is a place where Wall Street Parks $ during periods of indecision as it is a "Safe Place" for BlackRock and Vanguard to defend positions.... there are 2,000, but a very few are needed based upon the Sector weightings. Total Volatility is Highest for the RTY relative to the ES YM NQ (NQ Being 2nd in VX). ___________________________________________________________________ We anticipate a run back up to the Top of the Range @ 2335, our last sell for a great many handles due South.

ES - Channel Surfing 2hr - NQ YM RTY SOXS TQQQ TLT ZN ZB ARKKFriday's WRR was symptomatic of how the Order Book and Market @ depth can be rung like a Bell - Every stop was smoked. We held 493s @ 12 after peeling off the same ahead of Thursday. A solid and comfortable buffer of 8 Handles giving us a 501 B/E - Stop was 96, the reaction level and prior PO. Wrecked in minutes, All positions took the poker, hot. NQ was the leader into Thursday close, making a lower low on the Hourly, while finishing Friday @ new ATHs. The only trade taken in NQ was the initial higher high @ 428 to 390 on 80 MNQ scaled in from 426. This Sell became the fuel for the next stop run higher. Retail Traders entered and reentered the Sell all day only to be crushed under the Futures bid. The Semis bid took SOXS to new lows, ending our position on Stop - our largest loser in 17 months. TQQQ stopped .38 below entry. TLT ZN ZB closed @ 0.12%+ ARKK Stopped at ~ Entry and on and on it goes... stop stop stop run. 1st losing day in 17 days and a large loss on SMH's. ______________________________________________________________________________ ES Chart illustrates the higher targets - and lower 4441/4444 Support - 80 Handle range. What it does not show is the following - Market on Close orders were followed on in Globex - the Sell imbalances... were immense. Perhaps those in the know, knew the Drone Strike retaliation was on Deck. It is clear we are in a Large topping process, with stop run after stop run the tool in trade. Where this terminates now is a WAG. The very moment everything lines up in a large SELL, the rescue operation doubles down and makes New ATHs on expanding divergences. Frustrating in the extreme as it requires very large drawdowns, unacceptable drawdowns on Capital. Hedging DEC SELLs with SEP Bids Intra-Day has worked, although the Risks in continuing this balance is so extreme, we are going to remain in CASH with an extreme negative position structure.

NQ - Equity Analysis, Macro Events - Friday Powell 10AM ESTNQ and the Balance of Equity Instruments traded to resistance overnight ahead of Today's Macro Data and Fed Chair Powell speaking @ 10:00 AM EST. Kaplan's expected reversal of reversal Taper, came and went. Bullard was extremely Hawkish yesterday. IF Powell is less so, the DX will decline. Financials remain in SELL. Bonds remains in a SELL. ROCs in 10Yr need to be watched carefully. VIX inside the Long from lows with all pullbacks defended - 18.95 LIS. FRYday's are usually "VIX Attack". Support for VIX M1 @ 19.65. ES remains in a Larger Long, it defended the .382 with the Gap Fill @ 4466.65. YM is the Weak Sister, it defends Globex resistance. RTY has yet to trade a Pull Back. The usual suspects - AMC TSLA ARKK do not look good... it is OPEX. Gamma failing for the 4th week in a row. Participation will roll off after 11:30 AM EST as EU Session closes. BR/VG will be on the hunt... Friday's are theirs's. We are taking today off from trading on balance with 1/4 to 1/2 size today at maximum. Next week will provide the continuation to advancing the SELL, we began positioning for it this week. 38% Sell to Open presently DEC on Derivs and M1 - M3 Vix Complex. Today's Price action will be aggressive if the usual suspects show up to run Prices. We will simply Hedge DEC with SEP CTs if necessary. 10AM will obviously provide a reaction, we are SOH til then. For today, we are Neutral and trading very small size, limiting risk exposure.

Our Initial Target from 3 weeks ago was 15363, this target was met and exceeded in the NQ SEP CT @ 15384. We will continue to use SEP as the BTO Hedge, we closed 2 NQ from 170 break at 322. We hold Zero SEP Hedge for NQ currently.

Extremes in many metrics and indicators, keep us in a Line Feed Out strategy for a violent reversal. The Monthly patterns, imho - are completing off two historic conditions: 1. A break away monthly Gap - never occurred in History, never. 2. 7 Monthly Bull Bars probability is 12:1 against. An 8th has never occurred in the past 25 Years. Market breadth is extreme in its weakness. Gamma was once again the driver, with vastly reduced Call Volumes. AAPL TSLA GOOG NVDA - another attempt at GS will fail imho AMC Apes bought the 39s... we are seller of AMC from 37.50 to 41.00 TSLA - Sellers at 720 - 750 ARKK - Sellers 120.11 to 125 WE Anticipate a violent reversal very soon. Ideally, today should close Negative no later than Globex. Prosperity to those positioned for the reversal. - HK

ES - Monthly Terminations over the past 25 YearsThe throw over continues to imbue the Bulls who see Big Green Bars to chase. And why not? It works consistently, the FED has your back. Until it decides "Extremely Elevated Equities" need a solid trim. Our indications of a throw over last week have played out perfectly. After Distribution, Market Makers are permitted to extract their exit and pound of flesh, it happens over and over and over. The party is coming to a decided end for the Shorter Term. Chase Bars or slowly feed out your lines. We are feeding out lines. - HK

ES - Over Throw Completing 4496 / 4512 / 4532Thank the Stars we got the push off the .22 ES/M2. It had dipped in, indicating the Stop Run would complete by Tuesday. This will be taken away far quicker than the chaser will comprehend. We are loading the proverbial woodshed with SELLS. BR/VG tossed a bunch of Jing to position for protection... we did as well. All Buy to opens across the YM ES RTY NQ were closed. We are in a confirmed SELL as Targets/Orders on our Inverse Ladder FILL. Big Lick, dead ahead. xoxo- Hunter Killer

Reverse Repos - Cross All Time Highs @ 1.117 TrillionNothing to see here, of course. Unless you are a student of History and well versed in the prior Financial Crisis of 2004 - 2008. We identified the issues with respect to RMBS in March of 2004, published it and waited ~ 13 months for it to unfold. A year later the Equities Complex began to see large distortions which resulted in a 10X leverUp by the Fed following the 2008 Crisis. We are seeing precisely the same patterns today. Although this will require more time to complete, the trend remains the same. A correction, followed by new all time highs, followed by a larger 50%+ correction from higher All Time Highs in 2022. It should be clear, M2 NEVER SLEEPS :) Prosperous "Trading" to everyone. It's a Jungle in here.

MARGIN DEBT - An ST PeakThe Peak for Intermediate Margin Debt peaked in July. After 15 months of elevation... It has declined 4.48% as Fear and Uncertainty have taken ahold... this appeared in the most recent release in Consumer Confidence, which Collapsed. Although the Gross Notional is nowhere near the highs as a percentage of Total Assets Value, as we have repeatedly indicated, the Trend is clear. It serves as further Confirmation of the Distribution Patterns we have Indicated for 47 Days. Technical Metrics clearly illustrate this among Larger Daily Divergences present within the Equity Complex. While BR/VG continue to accumulate an Outsized VX Position, the "Investor, HODL, MEME, Retail Trader, Speculator and well oiled Degenerate Gambler" Class continue to twaddle with even fewer outright purchases.... Instead, levering up with Options as Margin Debt continues to head South. The perfect setup is nearing completion. The exits are too narrow to prevent 95% of the above Casino participants from being harmed. We attempt to promote Sanity with respect to Trading and although a great many find it offensive and "Abusive" - it is not. To bad choices there are extreme consequences. It is your Capital, your choice, your decision. HK seeks opportunity, nothing more... clinging to Coat Tails of those in Control. Following Obeying Profiting To Win, there must be a Loss. We are taking a large SELL Position, the largest since August of 2020. A minimum of an 11% decline is the Lower Target.

TLT - Longer End 10/20/30 FlatteningSince 2002 when GSCO's Timothy Bitsberger's began his reign as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Fiscal Fundings began to move down the curve to under 30 Months and accumulate a large concentration within this timeframe. It placed the burden of Government Finance up on the Short End of the Yield Curve near the region of control for the Federal Reserve and their ability to drive Monetary Policy. During the waning decades to today, the Bond Markets have become 11.2X the size of Equities. Since 2008 we have witnessed a rapid acceleration in Money Stock, one which remains underreported then (as the FED ceased reporting M2) to today where the very life blood of Credit Growth Velocity has dried up and reversed. TARP, TALF and the Yield Swaps accumulated $32 Trillion in Debt. 91% of the American Public was against these Monetary Measure then.... Today they Gag for it as the Global Economy lays in ruin. Independent Producers have been wrecked to the point, recovery is simply not viable. The FED Minutes served to provide several references to moving up the Timeline for Tapering. This provides cover for Powell's (we'll let ya know while we're thinking about thinking) as behind the scenes they are preparing for short duration reduction in the usual suspects - RMBS, CDO, CDO, Corp Debt, Zombie DEBT. Yield Curve Controls became evident as the 1.71 10Yr yield was not permitted to be breached, had it and Swaps would have been grossly offsides and created a large dislocation. At present, The uncertainty over the impact of this Policy change - Potential Policy change - remain in Flux. The Dollar, our target is 9465 ST, remains the wild card as the EU faces retribution for decades of abuse and a failed attempt at Negative Interest Rates - the vote of Confidence ALWAYS flows to the Currency of Seniorege, the US DOLLAR. Capital Flows favor US Markets as China is making it extraordinarily clear, they are closing off the Monetary & Economic Borders well in advance of the UNWIND coming to our shores. A steepening or inverting yield Curve is immaterial. We crossed the Rubicon long, long ago. As we witness the SPX to M2 Stock overthrow the .22 level - there is an important message there, extremely important, which is why we suggested the ES would attempt an over-throw on Friday @ the 4441 level. These actions ahead of Jackson Hole are significant. More to follow within the 5 Part thesis beginning with ES/M2S, TLT, Divergences, Capital Flows and "Resurrections' Trade" HK

SPX SPY ES - Throw Over - SPX/M2 Money Stock For HK, this is the most important Chart we follow and obey. The larger TF here - Daily - perfectly illustrates how Price moves along a trend range... Until it snaps and collapses quickly. This is precisely what we believe will occur in the next few weeks or perhaps sooner. We will see a sharp reversal with 2 distinct thrusts down as primaries. Time is running out for the Buy Side. What took months to build will be taken out quickly.
