TNX
S&P Next Week Expected Move ($33.0) & Gravity PointsMy 2nd Long Term Target was hit and surpassed.
Sentiment is complacent. Complacency is different from Greed. Still bearish, but more sneaky. I'm a strong believer in sentiment and I believe we're going to need to work off this extreme reading one way or the other. Historically, we move sideways to lower after reaching such optimistic levels. It's not sustainable. We're talking 90-95th percentile levels, which is the only time it's worth mentioning.
I don't anticipate a crash or anything, but do think expectations over the next 1-3 weeks should be tempered.
Last Week:
**Unemployment:
High Yield: (Non-confirmation)
Stock Pick: (Deep Value)

Business Cycle update - Not bottom yet Business cycle still points to more downside for steel prices and treasury yields
Bond Market Indicating Risk On Environment?If you follow my work, you know how the Bond market is crucial to my analysis. It is the largest market in the world, and we are heading to a period where central banks really have no ammunition anymore and are using rhetoric to maintain confidence in the system.
The history of humanity is cycles of hard money and soft money. It seems we are reaching the end of this soft money cycle. Of course Ray Dalio mentioning how there are many similarities to the 1930's-40's.
Today we are hearing about the repo market. How money has to be injected to ensure the system is propped up and interest rates do NOT spike up to double digits. Lot of argument whether is is Quantitative Easing (QE) or not. Remember, the Fed cannot mention QE because it could trigger a confidence crisis. QE was supposed to be a one time desperate policy to prevent another 1930's like great DEPRESSION. If it is mentioned we are on QE again people will realize that central bank policies did not work and we are stuck in 0 to negative interest rates forever with QE infinity.
QE was a way to inject money into the system by the Central bank buying up bonds. Repo is when the central bank directly gives money to the banks and receives collateral in return...they say this is US treasures but it could very well be toxic assets. The difference between QE and Repo is really new bonds/debt vs old bonds/debts. It still is about injecting money into the system to more importantly, keep interest rates suppressed.
Because of this environment, I have said bonds are a great long term trade because central banks will be cutting to 0. Specifically Canadian bonds because I believe the market has not priced in Canadian rate cuts until this past week.
Historically, bonds are not meant to be traded. As the European Fixed Income traders say, we basically buy bonds because we believe we can sell it to a greater fool who will buy it. Bonds brought in reliable income, and a decade ago when you retired with say 1,000,000 dollars, you would buy government bonds yielding 5-8% at the time which would provide you with 50,000-80,000 a year...which is enough to live off when retired. Today you would get 15,000-30,000.
When Central Banks started QE and began keeping interest rates low, they caused money to flow to the stock market and real estate as money had to chase yield. Again, if you follow my work, today there is nowhere to go for yield EXCEPT the stock markets and why I think they will continue to go up.
So let us look at the bond charts. So I am showing the yields. Remember there is an inverse relationship between bonds and yields. When bonds go up the yield drops and vice versa.
On the ten year yield, we have a potential bottoming pattern here. Yields bounced at the important support level of 1.40. I am one who believes the Fed will cut one more time this year...something the market has not priced in yet but could very well be pricing in the closer we get to December. This is what would keep yields dropping lower and bonds moving higher as more people price in more rate cuts.
This move in yields currently may be a relief move. We have trended (downtrend) for sometime with multiple waves.
We have broken into all time new highs in stocks (again not surprising if you follow my work. Have been saying this would happen because of chasing yield). When people buy stocks and exit bonds, we call this a risk on environment. Whereas when one sells stocks and goes into bonds, we call this risk off. Remember, money managers cannot really be in cash all the time. It has to be working somewhere and most of it goes into bonds during times of uncertainty, volatility and risk etc.
The Bond chart is also showing a topping pattern (so remember inverse with yield):
Just a crazy environment we are in really but continue to watch the Bond market. I expect in the longer term bonds to go higher because central banks will cut rates even more. We then get to a point, which Ray Dalio calls the paradigm shift, where it will not make sense to buy and hold bonds (currently you can still sell it to a bigger fool).
Uncertainties remain! Dovish statement We just received the 25 basis points rate cut. The market had already priced it in.
Powell just released the statement. It seems to be a dovish one . He will start his speech at 2:30pm, where the market will try to understand the possibility of a 4th rate cut in December.
The CBOE Fed tool has the 4th cut in December at 26%.
We should see the yield curve steepen.

Economic reports
GDP report was positive/neutral.
ADP employment change headlines were good, but analyst are not happy reading into the details.
TNX is the last safe haven that pays more than 1% globallyI don't know what I am talking about. I just know what I am seeing looks like 1929 all over again. In 2022, we might be headed for WWIII.
Anyway, with rates going low as they are, refinances and household debt will be getting refinanced and those in lending are going to become wealthy. Like me. Let's see what happens.
10 Year T Note: Triple Bottom. Major long term Buy Opportunity.The 10 year has rebounded off the major 1M Support this month, making a statement with last week's strong 1W candle. This marked a Triple Top formation on the 1M scale (since 2012) and the trend shift becomes obvious. 1D is trading near overbought territory (RSI = 70.811) pushing the 1W towards neutrality (RSI = 42.781, ADX = 58.406, Highs/Lows = 0.0000), detaching it from its previous bearish levels.
We are expecting a major cyclical bullish move in the next 2+ years towards at least 32.00. Shorter term investors should look towards the inner Channel Up (dashed lines) for pivotal sell/ buy entries.

TNX has to complete triple bottom or inverted head and shouldersTNX has been in a channel for a long time, forming a base of a triple bottom or an inverted head and shoulders. Once the right shoulder or third touch is made, we go up from there. If we don't the bond market (inverted) will go pop, and eventually burst. This is a fantastic indicator that most don't factor in. Dollar strength... if it continues to go higher, that's bad - too high, and if it goes lower, that's bad - stock will follow indicating weaker economy ahead. This QE experiment has finally failed. Cannot continue to devalue currencies, and have the dollar be the sacrificial lamb. The rubber band has been stretched so tight, it is about to give out. Cannot continue to store money at a cost, Cash/dollar is better alternative, until it is not. And then... where to put your money, the mattress in the next bank. So I am short until we touch, then HOPEFULLY long, so this economy doesn't crumble. FED rate cut should help that. And if they stick to their data is strong, economy is strong thing, then they will be way behind the curve here, and the TNX will crash below the third 138. And then playing catch up will be impossible. They are in a touch, very delicate, very fragile spot. Hope they chose wisely.
I haven't posted in a wile, so to all my followers, this moment in time calls for sharing this info, hope you all fare well.
