$DXY, long and short term rates looking betterGood Morning! Let's get it done!
Look at #yield for 1yr - 30Yr. What do you see?
Last week we said they looked 2b bottoming out a bit.
Do any of these look weak to you?
RSI above halfway point, solidifying the possible bottoming process.
Short term
#Interestrates keep testing the top part of the white line. The more something is tested the weaker it becomes and the higher the chance of it breaking through.
Long term
Forming higher lows.
TVC:DXY
TNX
$VIX within range & bringing this chart back up againWe saw #yield, US #Dollar, & #oil looking decent & trading with some strength. #stocks are a tad weak but so is $VIX.
Want to show this chart again.
CBOE:VIX can trade in the ORANGE support vicinity for 2 years. Every so often it'll have a fast and furious rally.
Seldom does it hit YELLOW support area but when it does, it usually signifies that upcoming spike we just spoke about.
$DXY pumping as are Yields and OilPretty good calls on the following:
(see our profile for more info)
The US #Dollar maintains its upward trend.
The 10yr #yield is also looking pretty decent.
The 30 Yr bottomed before the others and has been leading #interestrates.
#OIL broke downtrend and has been looking better.
Long term yields have been running, US Dollar as wellGood Morning Update
Unless this reverses it looks like it is getting stronger.
Thought #interestrates were supposedly going down?
10Yr #yield looks very good & the 30 Yr has been pumping for a bit.
2Yr stopped falling, is it bottoming here?
US #Dollar pumping as well - TVC:DXY
We've been warning.......
Short term rates still look weak while long term look betterHAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
US Treasury markets are more than the combined bond markets of Germany, Japan, China, UK, France, and Italy = HUGE.
This is why US #Bond market is important to keep track of.
Short term #interestrates has been the weakest in a LONG TIME
1Yr & 2Yr charts look similar. US Debt 2ys & less have been weakening & look like they still want to weaken a bit more.
-------------------------------------------------
HOWEVER, long term debt looks to be solidifying a bit.
The 10 & 30Yr #Yield look identical & both look like they want to bounce here. How strong? We'll see. Took small position on Thurs.
This could also be more of a technical set up as both are at support levels, 30yr is at strong long term support.
TVC:TNX #bonds
10 & 30 Year yields are at decent to strong support levelsThe 10 year & 30 Yr #yield are at support levels.
Looking at Daily charts:
The longer term, 30Yr, looks better than TVC:TNX (10Yr)
Looking at Weekly charts:
The 10Yr support level looks strongest @ 3.3%.
All sorts of support levels and trendlines were broken recently.
The 30 Yr trendline is certainly broken & Strong Support is found here.
OUTSIDE DAY for ALL major averagesWhat a turnaround for ALL the MAJOR averages!
As we've been saying over and over again.......
The END OF DAY IS WHAT MATTERS!!!
*Indices formed an OUTSIDE DAY*
Outside days can signify 2 things:
CONTINUATION
OR
REVERSAL (of the current trend)
Being that the day ended lower, LIGHT VOLUME though, we will take this as a WARNING!!!!!!!
RSI fell pretty hard, #stocks could just experience profit taking for a bit.
__________________________________________
TVC:VIX roaring & seems 2b stronger this time around.
TVC:DXY close to support and seems to be trying to base again.
2 Yr #yield showing positive divergence.
10Yr oversold - don't see anything out the norm in either one of these, yet at least.
Treasury Yields flash bottom signs, early for some + DXY leadingJUST SAYING.......
NOT implying that the party is over BUT heed some signs by treasury.
1Yr #yield is fighting to close above the 10day Mov Avg (RED).
2 Yr has a possible 3rd day trading above the RED Mov Avg.
10Yr fighting to get above the recent trend it broke & Moving Avg's.
US #Dollar has been fighting & looks to be gaining momentum. We'll see how this does over next few days to get barometer.
TVC:DXY TVC:TNX
Never disregard those weekly & monthly closeSTHOSE LONG TERM TRENDS ARE IMPORTANT.
Remember how the 10 & 30 Yr #yield BROKE daily trends?
Well, they are both still in play, for TVC:TNX it is in better shape.
Let's see how they close.
30 Yr struggling a bit more to recover that close under the trend.
#mortgage rates have also fallen decently.
BOND YIELDS - Expect to See Minimum 20% Interest Rates...Have you ever encountered the notion that less can be more? Well, that's precisely why it has taken me considerable time to present this update concept regarding Bond Yields. This analysis carries profound implications for every global market. What we're witnessing here holds the potential to trigger the most significant economic downturn in our lifetime—the impending prospect of the Greatest Depression. The issue at hand is human complacency. In today's world, there's a pervasive disregard for the past, dismissing it as old news. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Our society seems destined to repeat the same errors due to our complacency, particularly in an era dominated by instant gratification. We persist in borrowing from the future at an unprecedented rate, marking the pinnacle of leverage and record debt compared to household income, which is at historically low levels. I take my time delivering this information to ensure the utmost quality in my analysis, even if it means minimizing my output. Stay tuned for more insights to come.
GDX: Bullish Inverse Head and Shoulders Bottom In PlayGold is up an even 10% year to date. The precious metal has frustrated bulls at times in 2023 but falling real interest rates over the past several weeks have undoubtedly been a boon. While it’s encouraging to see spot gold climb above the $2000 per ounce mark, I see potential upside in the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX).
Notice in the chart that the portfolio of gold mining companies, Newmont Mining (NEM) being the biggest weight, is working on a bullish inverse head and shoulders bottom formation. I see a key neckline around the $30 mark while the low under $26 from early October represents the head. If we project that $4.50 height onto the neckline, then an upside measured move price objective to near $34.50 would be in play.
Something to watch heading into year-end is how the US Dollar Index performs. Surely a move toward 4% on the 10-year Treasury Note rate would be a macro tailwind for gold and the gold miners, but a drop under 100 might also help commodities writ large. What could cause such a combination of lower rates and a weaker greenback? Softer economic data, including a weak payrolls report due out on Friday, December 8, might be such a catalyst. As it stands, four rate cuts are priced into next year which offers a solid backdrop for precious metals heading into 2024.
10Y & 30Y Yield losing more steamGOOD MORNING!
#interestrates look like they want to slow down a bit, short term top.
We see the 10Y & 30Y pulling back a bit...
But this is better seen intraday.
We'll see how that unfolds...
IF IT DOES, it could cause a sharp rise in #Stocks.
Coincidentally, DJ:DJI @ support & TVC:NDQ is near a major support.
TVC:TNX AMEX:DIA NASDAQ:QQQ
US 10 Year Treasury Bonds - TOP Call Coming! (For now) $TNXWhat Major Event will occur to force thirst for US and G20 Treasury Bonds? It's happening soon. I wish I had a crystal ball to say what will cause it, but it'll happen. We're almost there IMO 5.19-5.25% topline target - then I hope in whatever this Market or world event will force yields to go back down to 3.19-3.25% Before eventually continuing back up in the next major World event to create Inflation AKA Wave 2 Inflation
🐹 Caution To All TLT Hamsters - TBT Has More Room to DeliverTBT is a UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF.
This Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Daily performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index.
1. Always look first. Never rush into a trade or investment blindly.
2. Wait, and wait again, for the pattern to develop.
3. Be patient and use alerts to get notified when the time is right.
4. Measure trading ranges and adjust your plan for sideways action.
5. Look for bases and consolidations.
6. Zoom out and look for historical levels of support and resistance within those bases or consolidations.
7. Markets can go sideways longer than traders can stay solvent.
8. Adjust your stop loss and take profit targets for the choppy price action.
9. Be prepared for false breakouts and false breakdowns.
10. Choppy markets do not trade like trending markets.
Technical picture in AMEX:TBT indicates it has possibility to further upside price action, up to 57 - 60 U.S. dollars per share, as key multi year resistance (5-years simple MA) has been successfully broken at the end of 2022.
Long Term Yields catching a bidGood Afternoon!
Long Term #interestrates are PUMPING today!!!
The 10 & 30 Yr have been struggling in this area.
They are currently forming a negative divergence. We'll see how that goes.
3Month - 1Yr haven't moved much.
2Year #yield is also moving. This is "good"! That means that the normalization of yield curve is not happening yet.
#stocks #gold #silver
$DXY & $TNX & Rates show signs of exhaustionThe US #Dollar has pulled back a bit:
At MAJOR SUPPORT
At Green Moving Avg = Support
RSI is at 50 (neutral bullish unless crosses lower)
Weekly TVC:DXY is 50-50
The RSI is curling over but the MACD is now above 0 = down trend over
Hmmm, interesting scenario
Not sure what to make of it Monthly
#currency
-------------------------------
The 2Yr #Yield broke the recent up trend.
While it has performed better than shorter term #interestrates it's gotten weaker recently.
The RSI & MACD have been trending lower for some time and it's much easier to see on a weekly! Look @ that Severe Negative Divergence!
Could rates be DONE?
-------------------------------
The 10 Yr #Yield on the other hand has built good deal of steam lately.
Weekly it is overbought.
Monthly it's overbought as well. But what is interesting is that the MACD has only been higher 1x than current scenario.
MACD histogram lower (arrow) = future MACD neg crossover?
However, it's nowhere near as weak as short term #interestrates
TVC:TNX
What's a Tea! Fed Policy Expectations Plunge Gold to Key SupportGold declined marginally by 3% in September hitting its major support of 52 weeks SMA, in the face of higher long term Treasury yields TVC:TNX and a stronger Dollar index TVC:DXY .
Sentiment remained weak for most of the month as ETFs continued to lose AUM while COMEX managed money net long futures positions fell to a five month low previously in August 2023.
👉 Since July, long-dated yields have risen faster than short-dated yields, meaning the yield curve is exhibiting a "bear steepening", something often seen during a reflationary or early business cycle period.
👉 Following this thesis, lets compare 13-Weeks Treasury Bills Yield CBOE:IRX.P that jumped in 3 months from 5.150 to 5.330 only, and 10-Years Treasury Notes Yield TVC:US10Y with gains from 3.820 to 4.630 at the same time.
👉 While gold tends to underperform risk assets during these periods, it is not common to see bear steepening this late in the business cycle and recent moves in yields may be masking other factors at play, such as higher risk premiums
👉 Soft US economic data suggests also that a slowdown is still likely, which, alongside a potential change in the shape of the yield curve, could signal an environment where gold has historically performed well.
Yields take center stage
👉 August and September were challenging for gold. After dipping below US$1,900/oz, it staged a late recovery – around the Fed’s Jackson Hole annual symposium, than turned more down after Fed's September Meeting to finish September down approximately by 3 per cent.
👉 The US Treasury yield curve is arguably the most important financial indicator around, and its trajectory and shape are constantly under scrutiny. Most of the time (90%) it slopes upward as investors need to be compensated for lending their money for longer. But at these times, it inverts. As it has since July 2022, suggesting bond market participants are waiting Fed's monetary policy tightening continuation.
Lets Compare
Gold Spot in U.S. Dollars (RHS) vs. 6-Months Fed's Policy Expectations based on Jun'24 30-Days Federal Funds Futures CBOT:ZQM2024 (LHS)
Gold Spot in U.S. Dollars (RHS) vs. 12-Months Fed's Policy Expectations based on Dec'24 30-Days Federal Funds Futures CBOT:ZQZ2024 (LHS)
What’s next
👉 In summary, the move in the 10-year yield can likely be attributed to three main factors. A shift up in the ‘higher interest rates for longer’ narrative, supply and demand forces and a rise in the risk premium.
👉 The latter factor might start to provide support to gold prices, if it continues to increase from its key support of 52W SMA.
👉 If we simply look at bear steepening, gold tends to underperform – with low single digit average returns. Historically, the most likely successor to a bear steepening is a bull flattening (approx. a third of the time). This is characterized by a fall in the long end of the curve relative to the short end, effectively an unwinding of the rising premia we’ve witnessed.
👉 This partly took place at the latter end of September with gold likely benefitting from such yield declines. Also, soft data continue to suggest that a slowdown is still firmly on the cards. This could result in either a bull steepening or a rare "bear-". Both phases have on average been gold friendly, yielding an annualized return of 15% – the highest of all the phases.
Gold Market Breath
👉 What is Market Breath overall?
👉 Market Breath is a Percentage of Index Components Trading Above their N-Period Moving Average.
👉 Traders can use this index to see what percentage of index components are trading above their N-period moving average, for example, above the 200-day moving average.
👉 A rise above 50% in the indicator indicates increased market strength, while like the index of new highs and lows, traders and investors often look for extreme values to find extreme overbought and oversold conditions in the broader market.
👉 Gold Market Breath Indicator INDEX:YATH (number of S&P/TSX Global Gold Index TSX:TTGD above 200-Day SMA) is at 2.43, that is one of the lowest multi year readings .
In conclusion, there are some reasonable considerations for further Gold spot purchases following the thesis that 52W SMA is a strong support for Gold in 2023, and further Fed's Policy expectations for upcoming 2024 are fully in the hands already.
Short Term Yields fall, NORMAL Curve coming?🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
1 & 2Yr #yields are falling pretty decently today.
This can be very good short term.
However.......
It's conceivable BAD in the long term (has been historically) IF the curve normalizes.
Current rates
2Yr 5.056 vs 10Yr 4.749
The #Fed rarely does things right. I Wonder. Why is that? Can it be by design?
#bonds #stocks TVC:TNX
Bear rallies the most furious, could be in one!Bear rallies tend to be the MOST FURIOUS!!!
Be careful but take ADVANTAGE!!!
SP:SPX upcoming resistance @ 3 areas:
4280
Moving avg is a little above that (weakest resistance imo).
MAJOR = 4330 (it closes above this will post further levels).
Keep an eye as the RSI closes in on 50.

Short term we are badly due for some sort of relief rally, we nibbled in this area AMEX:UDOW AMEX:SPXL
Not sure how high this can go so we have been nibbling and will sell in tranches.
#stocks TVC:NDQ AMEX:DIA AMEX:SPY NASDAQ:QQQ
$DXY makes history (Update idea) Post #1Historically, the YELLOW support area NEVER holds when TVC:DXY is on its way back down.
HOWEVER, the US #Dollar is showing strength. (this is vs a basket of currencies that are also weak.) 1st time it bounced back this hard.
This looks like it wants to keep going, longer term. We'll see.
This is NOT good for #stocks (longer term).
TVC:TNX has been trading closely.
$TNX Historically is highGood Morning!
Historically, Since 1967, #interestrates have been MUCH higher, around 2008 they began to go lower. Most individuals never mention this.
So what's the BIG DEAL?!
The US was growing FASTER & the DEBT is now ASTRONOMICAL!
Costs a TON in payments alone!
SOMETHING has to give, SOON.
Daily we could be setting up for some relief.
