COT Strategy
SHORT
T Bonds (ZB)
My COT strategy has me on alert for short trades in ZB if we get a confirmed bearish change of trend on the Daily timeframe.
COT Commercial Index: Sell Signal
Extreme Positioning: Commercials most short they have been in last 3 years = bearish. Small Specs most long they have been in 3 years = bearish.
OI Analysis: Extreme high in OI. Generally, extremely high OI found at market tops.
True Seasonal: Strong seasonal tendency for t bonds to go down into October
COT Small Spec Index: Sell Signal
Supplementary Indicators: Acc/Dist & POIV Sell Signals
Remember, this is not a "Short Now" idea. These indicators are not timing tools. They simply tell us that this market could have a move of some significance to the downside, which we will participate in with a confirmed Daily trend change to the downside.
Good luck & good trading.

T-Bonds (US 30 yr); Wait for it!If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck ... But wait for it!
In reality the Inflation-Deflation pendulum is already past mid-swing, towards the later (by most meaningful measures). Incidentally, most institutions and central banks are piled in at the short end of the curve and one could sell them anything going out past 3 years, for anything. That, in itself, ought to serve as a warning. (Yeah, they are known to be dead wrong, especially when it really matters.)
Add in (or don't!) the A.I.+ automation related speculative bonanza about long term deflationary pressures and the case would get even stronger for rates to peak at these levels.
Wait for signs of a reversal, though.
p.s. The only thing that goes up in a market crash is correlation! (I.e., T-Bonds alone will not save anyone.)
TLT - Intermediate BUY Set-UpHere is my road map for TLT... T-Bonds
This will have significant ramifications across many correlated markets. Think ES, DXY, Gold etc...
I believe we close to embarking on a C wave move up to the opposing upper channel line. This could take on a variety of shapes/slopes. Time will tell.
The bigger move ahead is down... although the move ahead will be worth participating in.
See my published ideas linked below covering TBonds yields and ES/SPX pathways related to this supposition.
Weekly view of TLT here:
10 Yr Bonds - Yields Close to an Intermediate Low10 Year bond yields closing in on a wave 4 low.
I would expect some sort of base building price action before the next leg up. This will provide clarity on the projected completion of this 5 wave pattern.
Yields have recently dropped in a flight to safety surrounding the bank failure panic. Does the stabilization of yields signal that crisis easing? Will the rise in yields negatively or positively impact stocks? What about the dollar, crude oil, gold.... All of these markets are at a transition point. This is a common phenomenon in March... history repeating?
Fading Bonds rally Long US10Year Yield / Short TY Future fading the YTD bond rally driven by Central Banks Pivot hope misread by markets, it seems that the short positioning has exacerbated the buying so far this year.
Things should start to normalise into month end and ahead of FED/ ECB meetings in February.
Short US10Y Future - Expect the Yield rise by 20bps
Four decades of downtrend has broken - Yield / Interest RateAll the fixed tenure yields have broken above their four decades of downtrend. - 2yr, 5yr, 10 yr & 30yr
To note, the shorter end, the fixed 2 year tenure yield is climbing faster than the longer end, the U.S. fixed 30 year tenure government bond yield.
The year closing, it will be crucial to determine the trend transition; from this long-term downtend to uptrend.

1. Difference between interest rate and yield?
i. Interest rates are a benchmark for borrowers and
ii. Yields are for lenders. For eg. investors to the U.S. government
iii. Both interest rates and yields move in tandem together
3. Why is it important to note yield inversion?
i. For eg. - when the return on a 30-years yield is lower than the 2-year yield, that indicates a
ii. For lenders or investors – a pessimistic outlook, a reluctance to commit their money to the longer-term bond, they prefer short-term deposits as the market is unclear in the long-term.
iii. For borrowers – most individuals or companies have shorter-term borrowing, for eg a 2 years fixed rate or a bridging loan. When the yields are inverted, suddenly they find them paying more on interest rates repayment.
Since interest rates and yields move in tandem, expect the shorter-term lending rates to go higher. This will hurt companies and individuals who have higher leverage items on their books.

I am starting an inflation series, in the next video tutorial, we will discuss why inflation is happening not just in U.S. but all around the world.

US Dollar at Historic Pivot?DXY - Monthly Linear Mode
There's a lot going on here. Bear with me.
I've used the 3 major pivot points along with pitchforks median lines from the past 37 years.
As you can see we have reached a point of confluence of no fewer than 5 intersecting lines derived from the afore mentioned pivot points.
My opinion is that the advance from the 2008 low is corrective in nature and represents a "C" wave.
This suggests the next move is lower and in this case that would suggest it takes out the 2008 low. Keep in mind this is a monthly chart so this could possibly take a decade to unfold. The interesting point is related to the fact that this unraveling would bring the dollar back down to the point where the Fed initiated their QE tinkering.
What goes around comes around...you can't escape that fact.
This will take time. The early part of this presupposed dollar decline may be viewed as a good thing. Markets will probably advance since the dollar advance has been associated with the sell off in the stock market. When the dollar decline gets real I suspect that is when the stock market will move into the decline most have been looking for. At this point it's impossible to know if the tail will be wagging the dog or vice versa.
If this transpires as proposed it would fit into my thoughts on where the stock market is currently positioned from an Elliot Wave perspective. See my "Free Market @ Work" publication. I think the coincidence in market position for the US Dollar and the stock market is more than random. This will affect many markets... stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, crypto etc. Should make for some lively trading. Hang on for the ride!

#ZB: T-Bonds bottomedI think we have a low risk bottom signal here, it fits with my view of rotation back into growth names since the value stocks rally we had since the #PFE vaccine announcement. Today's CPI data gave investors some peace of mind it seems. I'm long growth and a few select equity ideas already, but a bond futures or #TLT options position might be a good proposition as well here.
Best of luck,
