T-bonds
Fade the rally in yields: What is the bond market telling us?We stand at a crossroad. First, market conditions mirror the global economy in 2018. Back then, the FED was getting to raising rates when the Eurodollar curve inverted. Flattening US bond rates too indicated that economic growth in 2019-2020 would would slow.
Now, the FED is expected to be aggressive on asset purchases taper in next week's meeting. Three rate hikes have been priced in the markets with the first rate hike in May 2022.
A ghost from the past - inverted Eurodollars & flattening US bond yields - is back to haunt the markets. This implies growth is expected to slow down at least during the next two years.
It is important to notice the bounce in US yields should be used to fade out of equity positions in the recent rally and into bond positions across the curve. Buy long-term, sell short-term durations.
Bond volatility has soared I think the past two weeks indicating that something heavy is brewing under the surface.
US 10 Year (Updated)I didn't publish the original chart but.....Looks like our 50% target has been cleared and might have rejected the 61% retracement of the previous high. On the 1 hour timeframe, we made a new high and could be time soon for a small retracement to the previous low. a retracement to 1.45 target would be a 38% retracement of where the yield is currently at. Let's see what happens! What do you think?
The "TLT" Bonds (Updated)Auctions have been releasing offering higher rates as of late. Our previous target of 61% retracement has been rejected so far. On the 1 hour, the previous high was broken with no new lows being made. On the 15 min we are at a light support. I would like to see a stronger support, however, due to recent auctions and higher yields, I could see more bonds being bought soon even with the Fed tapering. Let's see what happens. Yields normally fall when the price of bonds rise. This could be bullish for investors.
20 year plus bond etfSince mid July, The price of the 20 year plus Bonds has touched or tested the top orange line about 8 times and has retraced 61% more times than not. Bonds going as low as $148 would meet the 200 ema and would be a retracement of 61% of the previous low. The previous has been broken. Let's see where the next level of support is. If this falls, the Yields should rise. Normally, stocks fall "for the most part" when this happens. Let's see if this holds true!
US 10Y Bonds...What Do We Know?TVC:US10Y
With the wild drops in the market over the last few weeks, I have considered turning a greater percentage of my portfolio to bonds. Listed in this article are the findings of my research.
Todays Yield closed at 1.341%, investors receive a coupon of $1.375 semi-annually. Wow...That is pretty discouraging. With insanely low interest rates this year, (Note interest rates and bond prices are inversely related), bonds are expensive for very little yield. The feds have released data on a 6.20% inflation rate which is rather naive in my opinion, considering they continue to print money. The M2 Money Supply measures the total cash and equivalents in the USA, this grows on average of 11.31% a year, we are at a YTD of about 37%. Over three times the average currency printed. This large money supply is a main factor in why interest rates are so low. So will interest rates ever grow back to their pre-COVID levels? That is not for me to answer, as I have no idea. I enjoyed a projection done by @RealMacro about how we are rapidly heading towards a recession. I believe all investors can agree that it is perfect market conditions for a recession. Many investors are very new; they have never experienced a recession, this has come from the meme stock phase. Will investors begin pouring into fixed securities? Is the security worth the expensive costs and low yield? Will the feds continue to purchase bonds back? It is important to note, when the Feds buy back bonds they are increasing the money supply in the economy by swapping bonds for cash, and opposite when selling bonds. If the Feds wanted to cut back inflation wouldn't it make sense to sell more bonds? But by cutting back interest rates, would investors really have an incentive to purchase bonds?
Key Notes:
M2 Money Supply Measures the total cash in circulation
Bond Buy Backs - Increase Money Supply
Bond Sell Offs - Decrease Money Supply
Money Supply and Interest Rates are inversely related
Bond Prices and Interest Rates are Inversely related
Bond Yields and Interest Rates are parallel

Bonds Consolidate, Breakout Soon??Bonds have consolidated as we have expected. We are seeing strong support at 130'19, and appear to be forming a flag pattern bounded by 130'07, and 131'02. The Kovach OBV is trending up slightly, suggesting a small bull bias. From here it could go either way. The Fed is discussing tightening, which would be bearish for bonds, but persistent risk off sentiment due to the Omicron strain could give ZN a lift, though it appears this may be priced in by now. We will see continued support from the upper and lower bounds of the range. Volatility has consolidated quite a bit so we expect a breakout either way potentially soon.
$TLT Retrace and GoThis also looked to be a valid bearish cipher followed by a possible bullish 5-0 patter. However, I decided to assume that a double bottom has completed its measured move and will follow DOW's law with a 50% retrace. I believe the trend is still strong and after the correction will reach newer highs. Personally, I'm long here but acknowledge the short-term downside risk. Good Luck!
US30 Sell SetupUS30 Sell Setup. the market made 2 equal tops and eaten the stop losses of sell orders. now they are stopped and making an consolidation again. so I expecting a sell from my drawn orderblock. S/L and T/P is your own responsibility.
Bond to Bitcoin CorrelationHere is a brief correlation between bitcoin and bond price action. Hope you find this useful! I haven't been posting much due to what's going on in the economy. Switching up my approach. We all know when bonds rise, yields fall. When bonds fall, yields rise. Think about this when reading this chart. Good luck to the HODL!
Feel free to follow or simply keep up. I'm working on getting better always so bare with me. We all know what kind of journey this is!
Would love your support!
Stocks Future will be based on 10 Y BondThe movements of the stock market and digital currencies will be dependent on the head and shoulders pattern on the US Treasury bond index, which gives an indication of the imminence of a major price explosion if it is broken upwards, which means without any doubt a significant decline in the stock market and digital currencies as well. also keep buying stocks as long as the resistance still hold , we need a real weekly break
Are bonds not attractive? $BND $JNK $AGG $HYG $LQDWith cpi inflation up at 6.2 % why should I be willing to hold a bond fun which as way above average prices and yielding between 2% and 4.4% for junk bonds? Shouldnt I be avoiding this reach for yield and get either more constative and look for future discount opportunities, or should buy a traditional portfolio and pray a sell off doesnt happen over next 5-10 years? #worried
Bonds - 10Y note - in 3D InvertedSometimes it helps to invert the charts, particularly in bonds where price is inverse to yields, to see what the pattern looks like in the mirror. Bull plays in Big Tech would benefit from a bounce of this monthly neckline. As long as yields increase, and the Vix is elevated, the Santa rally is waiting for the sleigh to get out of the garage for repairs.
Inverse Head and Shoulders in Bonds??Bonds have seen a bit of a relief rally as we predicted yesterday. They hit the exact target we identified, 130'00, before settling near support at 129'26. We anticipate a quiet market as we go into the US hoiday for Thanksgiving. The Kovach OBV is still solidly bearish, suggesting that this rally may be just a relief rally. That being said, we do have an inverse head and shoulders pattern forming with a neckline at 130'00. If we break out further, we could easily hit 130'07, or 130'19. If the selloff continues, our next target is 129'11.
US 2Y Yields Spikes!!US 2Y bond yields melt up are the Central Banks losing control of the narrative and inflation continues to skyrocket causing pain around the world. AU2Y yield faced the same fate not to long ago. Yields have an inverse relationship to bonds as investors no longer interested in holding government bonds the sell and this selling causes higher yields.

US10Y Close to a major bearish move towards July's lowsI haven't updated my 10Y Bond Yield outlook in almost a month, ever since calling the top and the potential of a bearish reversal:
The top successfully took place and the rejection gave way to the reversal on which the price has been trading until now. The similarities with the March - May formation remain and have even become stronger. As you see there is a Triangle pattern on both which in June it broke aggressively to the down side turning the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) into its Resistance until late August.
Right now the 1D MA50 is supporting. If the price breaks below it and gets rejected there (turning it into a Resistance) on the first test, then I expect the US10Y to targe the 1.125 Support. Until then, we are trading sideways within the Triangle.
