tlt \\ wave 5 swingmorning,
tlt looks to have been in a prolonged triple 3 correction for this complex wave 4
triple 3's can be described as an area of re-accumulation by smart money, before the next mark up phase begins.
after hitting the downside wave 4 algo target perfectly today, i do think the triple 3 has been completed.
possible it hangs out around this range for a few more days to meet the fib-time ratio for this w4.
-------
my upside target sits at $157, but there's a good posibility it goes higher than what i am current projecting here.
stop loss below the 0.382
ps. the debt ceiling vote later today might play a big influence on where tlt goes next - so def make sure to keep a tight stop, just in case that vote ends up flopping.

FED - What not to say this morning beginning @ 10 AM EST> 8:00 AM EST positioning will
provide the Micro Trend into Fed Reserve Bullhorns.
The attempt to calm the losing battle with YCC could see on more attempts at gaining the

TLT - Waiting on the RainIn the Kingdom of Wood Paneling TLT remains in a divdergent pattern as the Indicies continue
their Downside Objectives.
Bondies believe this is there Trump Card.
Indy Sell, Bonds ON for Bid.
Although this can true in the very short term, Wednesday will have a decidely different look
and feel to it.
It's good to see the usualy Baggies tossing their "Banter" into the discussion, it amounts to
"hey bro, how much are you down now?"
LOL, we're fine, thank you. Posiotnals are not for the weak, but those who have done the
work and analysis, seeing the larger game afoot.
We'll enjoy comparing notes soon enough.
We're patient, you all... not so much, as evidenced by your incessant and pedantice need to
"tout" your correctness...
And why not, you're in the lead for now :)
Adding 140-170 TLT Puts remains our trade plan as Bonds will join the downside events as
things in the Kingdom of the Rain are not at all well imho.
Stick around Fellas and keep loading up.
We're looking for the 139s to be whacked after Reality sets itself in...
Everybody's Eyes on Fed's QE, is it inflationary?When looking on the weekly the Federal reserve's QE in the bond market to reduce interest rates has resulted in manic rallies in gold. So much that any hint of rising rates like in the summer this year when bonds sold off resulting in steep declines in gold. Smart money says QE off will be stagflationary or deflationary. This trend is apparent in all equities and has even spilled over into cryptocurrency markets. A giant liquidity pool that flows and sways with the news of Federal Reserve QE, even so much that banks rally regardless of interest rates. The only easy path for the Fed to do is keeping thinking about thinking about the thought of maybe something when their balls aren't stapled to the wall.
TLDR: QE off, gold dumps. QE on, gold pumps.
Ominous signs from the Leading Indicators panelLooking across the panel of leading indicators, it is starting to look as if something ominous is almost completed in building up and about to pop...
The JNK High Yield bond ETF is hitting a resistance;
The IWM iShares Russell 2000 ETF is in a bind, unable to break out as MACD is crossing into bearish region;
The TIPS Bond ETF is falling over;
The VIX is about to burst in break out, MACD bullish divergence supporting;
The DJ Trans had already brokedn down closing at a 6 month low, and MACD is already bearish;
The Value Geometric line is following suit soon;
The TLT bond ETF just attempted to break out, and should see another move upwards in the weeks coming; and
The Copper futures prices is not sustaining any bullishness and about to breka down, MACD leading the way.
Overall, the next two weeks will be volatile, and decisively down at some point.
Heads up!
10Yr ZN - Wandering Bishop - ROCsEnraged Evergrande Investors weild Laterns and Pitchforks.
The carnage for hostages provides a demonstration to our thesis for Banking and Bonds.
Perhaps a soft default in October when the Government runs its tap dry temporarily.
Further evidence, things are not well at all.
The chart illustrates the First Accident 2020 Covid Event. The second, required YCC to
brings circumstance out of control with 10 yr ROCs spiking at the fastest rate in History.
Perhaps the 3rd time pushes on through into the Bond Kingdom Revolution.
We shall see, we continue to build the Big Lick for Bonds.
TLT - Review for discussion10Yr Yields declined as international Capital Flows began demanding dollars out of the fear as to what is occurring outside the USSA.
Yields will remain under suppression due to YCC Interventions.
It is axiomatic the Trade is contrary to the Vast Herd of Bond Buyers, master of the obvious type
statements withstanding, We are opposing the TLT trade for the Interediate durations.
Demand for perceived "Safety" - the very last thing it actually is imho.
Europe, as we have indicated for months now, remains a basket case.
For as bad as it is here, it's worse there.
However, this is short term in its duration as the USSA is losing favor as a "Partner" of actual substance.
The Long Con remains in trade.
It will get a lot worse outside the USA which remains bullish on capital inflows.
Simply watch France as they are teetering on another Bastille Moment.
That said, the objective of the Level Pullers is not friendly.
Sending hoards of cash into the Fed Reverse Repurchase Market - reduces the cash in the Banks. This ONLY accelerates the liquidity crisis, which, in the very short term can have an important effect on Yields.
It is temporary.
Christine LaGarde, has been inferring that a policy shift is taking place which will be a transition in 2022. Stimulus policies have totally failed and the negative interest rates have destroyed the European Bond Market. Inflows to USTs is axiomatic for the EU, for the UK... not so much as they have shown a clear and present desire to position to China's Bond Market... slowly.
The ECB's ONLY tool remaining is the rather hurried rush to digital currency ASAP for Europe is out of time.
It will not go over well and lead to immense Social unrest.
France, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy won't simply roll-over.
80 Central Banks around the Globe desire digital currencies according Lagarde - "We think that it's a duty of us to actually have available digital currencies that would operate to the benefit of consumers."
There is nothing the governments ever do that is for the benefit of consumer citizens unless it benefits the Government 1st.
LaGarde intends to end Private Cryptocurrencies.
In her own words - "funny business" in Crypto needs to end, once and for all.
They will be regulated out of business... plan for it.
When you replace "Currency" which comes into existence from DEBT, Governments no longer need DEBT MARKETS
aka Bonds.
Currency no longer exists, Unlimited Pokemon Cards do however.
The ability of the ECB to continue buying endless debt from its member states is coming to an end.
Pressures to break up the EU is growing and this above all is driving the ECB to take drastic actions.
They will cancel the Euro ahead of schedule, sending the FX Markets into a tailspin.
UST Bond HODLers somehow believe this works well for them... it can in the very short term.
Ultimately, the Tide begins to approach our shores as Confidence itself evaporates.
The game of borrowing forever with no intention of paying anything back is coming to an end
and with it the US Bond Markets.
What will be the Value of your Bonds?
They will become "Perpetual" - you will be allowed, permitted and forced to accept a coupon
with no return of principal, that will be in Lock Down for good.
BY Q3 2022, the axiom will be in full swing.
This is why the Equities Complex will begin a very rapid ascent
as Bonds and Real Estate Fail.
You can't keep a good bunch of Degenerates DOWN when
the TINA's are Nil.
Preteding Bonds are winning against Real Inflation is a large mistake imho, as in no
way are the underlying REAL VALUES keeping pace.
The USSA is heading into Chapter 11 and with it, it's primary feeder lot of Debt.
We continue to position within Options from 140 - 170.
Trading the TLT into Sells has repeatedly worked on 7 seperate occasions, it has more
than offset Put losses.
Today is simply another example of 151s failure to low 150s, yesterday it was the 151.50s
failure to lows. It is clockwork trading, simple, direct and to the point.
Pandering to losses seems to be en vougue for the Bond HODLers, a defense mechanism
for the Herd.
All's fair here, no issues there.
We will simply continue constructing a large SELL Position into the wreckage.
It will become 12.5% of Capital allocation,it is presently 3.9%.
No Margin required as that sits with the Buyers.
TLT - 150 Puts - ZN 133.125 TLT continues to Wedge out into the Break Down.
Althought the Yield Curve appears to be heading into
an inversion into 2022, the Long End of the Curve remains
in peril... Countdown to Depression is ticking into Q2-Q3 2022.
Fed language and statements are beginning to shift into 2022
indicating they are off balance NOW.
Volaility will increase well ahead of the Fed's change in stance.
We anticipate a pullback in the VIX Curve into Settlement providing cover
for today's Squeeze in the Index Instruments.
AAPL and Tesla have been used to provide adjustments to both the ES and NQ,
These will be transitory... as Q3 EPS warnigns need a distraction...
China incidently decided on MOnday - "there is too much completition in EV's
within China"
Adios Tesla, Giga Berlin and Texas will have to manage...
China closing the doors on Tesla.
Confidence will have the intended influence on the Bond Markets, for now
it's game on into completion of the Wedge in 10Yr Yields.
Risk off dead ahead.
There is no recovery in the Economy, rather there are increasingly dangerous
issues which will begin to manifest shortly.
We will be continuuing to Build Out a Large Put Position in TSLA, APPL, ARKK, AMC.
Crypto Scam LiteCoin took the short WalMArt CON to undermine confidence in the space.
A 20% decline in LC took chasers downtown in mere seconds.
Crimnal Fraud in the Space is an operating axiom.
$TLT: Make bonds great again?I'm concerned of broad risk off possibilities between now and EOY, as potential tax increases might impact the equity markets, going into effect from 2022 onwards...I was already concerned due to long term technical charts suggesting this year we would likely get the end of the bullish trend we had in equities since the 2009 bottom.
This week's turn of events has increased my fear levels substantially. I'm already long bonds and commodities via option positions as a hedge for my equities portfolio, but I think it is time to stay alert and not be inflexible and attempt to bag hodl ANYTHING forever.
There's a long list of bearish factors at play now, and it keeps getting worse the further we go into 2021, but stock market indices have gone vertical since last year so far.
I will try to time the top in individual stocks I hold, and trade with a mid to short term focus, so as not to take on a big drawdown by the time I can confirm a long term top in equities is happening. At some point this year, indices will stop going up, form a daily down trend and drop some 10-30%, then perhaps rebound and form a multi month or multi week consolidation before falling further, that will be the beginning of the end, and I don't want to react too late.
Biden is doing all he can to derail the long term bullish trend in US equities here. It's a sight to behold. Props to him, if that was his goal.
The last time we had yearly trends expiring in equities it was the year 2000, and a decade long sideways/bear market ensued where hodlers didn't have an easy time surviving.
You know what asset class did well during the crashes? Cash and cash alternatives...ergo, bonds.
Just some food for thought.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
TLT - The Madness of Mass Delusions10Yr Yields declined as international Capital Flows began demanding dollars out of the fear as to what is occurring outside the USSA.
This implies, as well, a robust demand for perceived "Safety" - the very last thing it actually is.
Europe, as we have indicated for months now, remains a basket case.
For as bad as it is here, it's worse there.
However, this is short term in its duration as the USSA is losing favor as a "Partner" of actual substance.

THE FAT PITCH !!!Just a quick market analysis of what I call a classic fat pitch where you have a wide divergence from fair value. All that is needed is a catalyst to cause a flight to safety. Its not a matter of predicting anything. It is for the purpose of managing risk. Lets see how it turns out.
ZN - 10 Yr Note - Continued Move to Higher Yields - ZN TLT ZBTLT is beginning it's terminal phase for the next decline.
We Sold to Open TLT this morning, taking our First Position
at our Target, with further Sells to 150s Set.
Out dated Maturities, we have been suggesting for the past
month are due for a large correction in Yields.
Day to day noise is just that... Noise.
Bond HODLers are convinced they have it figured out.
They clearly do not or they would not be supporting an enterprise
steeped in criminal activity.
3 Fed Members have now been admitted to Front Running Markets
for their own Benefit.
CONfidence inspiring.
$TLT another wave down ???An updated review on TLT - it has been going sideways for the last 2 months and where is it going ?
My forecast is - downside has a higher probability.
Wave 1 took about 224 days down and the retracement up to 50% took 124 days.
This seems like the perfect setup for a short. Michael Burry also predicted the crash of TLT.
lets see how this pans out.
US10Y bond yields updated view.Based on the updated chart formations, I expect the US10y to fall out of this rising channel with a floor of around 1.0, then rapidly rise to at least 1.95. This should begin to play out over the next 1-2weeks. The theory becomes invalid if yields continue to rise in the channel to above 1.36.
10 Year Treasury Note - ROC's Building againRates of Change for Yields will face increasing Competition in the coming
weeks.
We anticipate further to quickly be met with YCC.
Yields have been mixed at lows, attempting to Hang their Man.
Central Banks receive their orders on High. Governments can no longer borrow
to fund their annual spending.
Digital "Currency" proposals from the WEF via Lagarde at the IMF, Echoed @ the
BIS and then it's stepchild the ECB.
The Debt can of worms can no longer be kicked down the road. Europe is in the
final stages of collapsing under the Existing System.
This will spread Cajun style, like a swamp Gator that eats everything that moves
in the DEBT SWAMP.
Rumors (Credible) of the Federal Reserve accepting Direct Deposits is halting the
Primary Dealer network of Banks (First Abusers) who, via Trading Arms and partners
such as BlackRock and VanGuard and many other smaller boutiques such as Gelber -
have been able to manipulate ALL Markets without consequence...
The Federal Government required them to sell their DEBT.
This effort is very clearly coming to a decided end.
Globally, the entire Financial System and edifice is being dumped on its Head.
US10Y yield pattern relative to the SPYA similar pattern to 2020 is happening, but it appears elongated. I used colored arrows to divide this chart into segments. The blue arrows represent the yields falling to a base. The yellow arrows are the rates rising phase. The red arrows are the yields dropping in a unique curved pattern. It seems to break that curved pattern and start an upward channel. Last year the very day it fell out of that upward channel, the SPY started to fall.
QE Tapering Delay Can Support Gold #ElliottwaveFed's Kaplan noted that they are watching Delta variant, and says he may need to adjust view regarding tapering. This is very important for speculators who were recently betting on the USD as this can limit the USD strenght if it proves correct.
In such situation traders may turn back to gold where price recovered back to $1800 and even erased all of the losses after the crash from a two weeks back. Rally, in fact, is in five waves which is very bullish for metal. At the same time, we are looking at the TLT as confirmation regarding lower US yeilds/higher notes, while DXY can be trading at resistance of a three wave rally up from January.
Take care,
Grega
