DXY's delayed reaction to yieldsI had this confusing idea and I will show it to you with this confusing chart.
1. First we define the blue vertical lines. These are the drawn on the date of the peak of yield.
( Even though yields drop, dollar continues to grow. Like a delayed reaction. Unsurprisingly, yields lead DXY growth. )
2. Then we draw fib retracements, with 1 being the DXY value at the time of yields peaking. And 0 being the bottom of the DXY jump. The peak of DXY is conveniently at 1.618. (or maybe I conveniently drew the chart such that 1.618 appears every time, to further validate myself)
3. When yields return to "normal levels" (red vertical lines), DXY dives.
The location of the red vertical lines, as well as what is defined as "normal yield level" are defined by the arbitrary target of 1.618 I put.
IF yields have already peaked, and if my theory is correct, DXY will reach 120, and when yields return to where they were. Even if the price target is inaccurate, the fact that DXY continues to grow after yields peak, cannot be ignored.
10 yr yield to see NEW HIGHS target is now moved from 3.55 3.85 /4.00 in the ten year yield That still is not going to be The TOP .As we enter fall production of gasoline slows to produce heating oil causing inflation cycle to pop effecting start of more issues . I want you ALL to understand what a BEAR MARKET looks like MONEY VELOCITY peaked in SEPT 6 2021 .
The Four Quadrants of the Economic CycleUse this as tailwinds for your trading and investments to spot the capital inflows when the time comes.
I would say we are likely in the inflationary bust stage (1) coming out of the disinflationary boom stage (4) for the last decade and beyond.
I would dare say the Inflationary bust stage is next (2) as the central banks try to kill inflation by raising rates and destroying asset prices.
To fix the economic damage they would have to eventually change their monetary policy which would then bring us into an inflationary boom (3)
The cycle repeats over and over but I'm positioning for the Inflationary boom stage (3) as I believe this stage will last many years.
10 Year Note Yield / 10 Year NoteIt's been 234 Years since the 10-Year Bond Note deteriorated to this extent.
The United States Treasury's formation was a Year away - 1789.
9 States had ratified the US Constitution.
In order to pay for expenditures during the Revolution, Congress had only
two options: print more money or obtain loans to fund the budget deficit.
Congress became far more dependent on the printing of money, which led
to hyperinflation.
Congress lacked the authority to levy taxes - doing so would have risked
alienating an American public that had gone to war with the British over
the issue of taxation without representation for the Crown.

The first 6 Months of 2022 have been a disaster for Bonds.
Unfortunately, it is simply just beginning.
At present, the "Disinflation Wave" is in the trade as the Media / Wall Street
ups the narrative and continues to bang the Commodity Rollover as evidence.
Typically (although we do not use History as a Guide as this is the largest
Bear Market in History, it is unprecedented as we have noted for months)
we see an 8 to 13 Month mismatch cycle for "Dis-Inflation".
Although Demand Destruction is being accelerated in Capital Stock losses,
people eat, drink, drive... consume material things required for their very
existence.
_________________________________________________________________
The most recent 4-week, 8-week, 13-week, 2year, 5-year, and 7-year auctions
were a significant failure at a time when the FED reportedly reduced their
balance sheet by $21B after a retracement for several weeks off the May 25th
outsized and front-run dump of $51B.
Meanwhile, Reverse Repurchase pools continue to swell to new all-time highs,
most recently $2.34T - earning 1.55% and safely out of perceived harm's way.
Depression concerns are clearly intensifying.
2 Year Bond Futures continue to Invert intra-day.
M1 / M2 / M3 continue to flee to the Big Lots Pool.
_________________________________________________________________
Negative GDP reinforces the Demand Destruction - Consumers will out how
Inflation peaks... Central Banks claim to want Positive Real Rates.
Consumers are rolling over, demand destruction is seeing far broader participation
as Savings / Investment / Incomes decline at the highest ROC's in decades.
This would require an outside Fed Fund Futures move, one that appears
improbable for the near term.
I'd like Ashley Trevort Twins - Seems improbable as well.
The difference is, that the odds favor my wish. The Bond Market will retrace in
select points on the Yield Curve, but ultimately the Negative real rate to
Inflation will find its Afterburner.

Entities are not going to step up, this is clear.
The ticking insolvency bomb fuse was lit in early 2021...
How long is that fuse?
Not long.
Equities remain the Capital stock to destroy, Housing / Alt Coins / Metals ... etal
are not long for this environment.
In order for Global Central Banks to meet their stated objectives... they'll need to
become far more aggressive.
Will they...
How long could deflation last? What about bonds?As most commodities are currently collapsing, it is very hard to keep believe that inflation is going to go higher from here. June could be the first month with a negative MoM CPI print, but it probably won't be the last. As deflation is taking inflation's seat, bonds have been looking attractive for some time. Essentially we got a blow of top in yields (capitulation bottom in bonds), and now bonds are rallying. It's totally normal as bonds took out the lows, and are now showing major strength at a time where the dollar is strong, while commodities, stocks and real estate looking weak.
The truth is that there is no escape from a major global recession. Commodities could fall a lot more until Central banks reverse course. There is too much debt and the only way to get out is by printing, while all the rate hikes will only eventually result in a crash. It's just that rate hikes have a delayed effect and most investors haven't realized what is coming yet.
Is the inflation story over? I don't think so. We are just in a very a nasty recession, that could lead to a deflationary collapse. Essentially a liquidity crunch that would cause investors to capitulate, and then force the Fed to step in to save the system. There is no way the Fed will hike rates more than 0.5-1% from here, and there is no way the Fed won't be forced to cut rates and resume QE by June 2023. The bond market reversing like this is an indication that the Fed is about to make a mistake by raising rates once or twice in the next few months, as bond yields are already coming down.
It's interesting that bond yields rose more than in 2018 before they reversed and fell below the Fed Funds Rate (FFR), yet FFR is currently 0.75% lower than when the Fed paused in 2018. Could easily see FFR getting down to 0 in the next 12-24 months as the financial system faces collapse yet again, but I don't see bond yields going as low as they did during Covid.
What I see is long duration bonds going up to the key breakdown zone, around 130-135 on TLT or bond yields going up to 2.4-2.6% before moving higher again. Essentially I do see a major deflationary episode ahead, I do believe bonds can go up, I don't believe the Fed will ahead of the problem and that there isn't much they can do. However at the same time I don't believe that the inflation story is over, as I do see higher inflation coming once we are done with this episode. Why? Because a lot of production of stuff will go offline, while governments print a ton of money to save the system. Less goods, more money... No way inflation won't happen again. The debt bubble is popping and long term this is inflationary.
So far we've seen bonds divergence from their long term trends, first with a blow off top, and then with a rapid decline that swept the lows. Could we get back into the main trend? It's possible, but I don't think so. All I see is a similar retest to what we go in 2021, where bonds broke down and then retested the breakdown level before going lower. TLT will fill the gap and then decide where it wants to go. Definitely wouldn't be surprised if bonds chopped in a certain area for a while, but ultimately I think we are going lower. Of course we could go lower even during a deflationary period, as everyone is liquidating whatever they can. If people need dollars, they will sell anything for them, including dollars. At the moment bonds are still very attractive, yet this doesn't mean that if people need cash they will hesitate to sell them.
TNX-The chart you should be following very, very closely!!!I posted about TNX at the end of March and warned that we were in unchartered territory. At that time, TNX had bullishly crossed the monthly cloud which was something it had not done during my lifetime nor probably most traders lifetimes.
We are just about to quarter's end (June 30th) and you can see a clear breakout on an Inverse H&S is occurring. I see nothing but tailwinds for this chart within the next 2 weeks so I don't see how we don't close the quarter above 3.056. The measured move implies a target on TNX of 5.502 with the ability to "wick" above to 6%. Debt is becoming more & more expensive by the quarter and it's all happening very, very quickly.
In addition, have a look at the quarterly charts of Wheat, Rice, Soy, Corn & Oil...all of them look to be either breaking out on the quarter or they are just bullish AF.
Inflation, as it relates to what is most essential in life, has not peaked...
US10Y making H&S topping pattern with long weekly hammer?US10Y TNX may be topping out. It is both a measure of economic activity & inflation expectation. So is the economy starting to slow down or is inflation slowing down shortterm? It will take years for inflation to come down. If the FED can pull inflation down to at least 4% in a soft landing, it will already be a big success. Stagflation (rising inflation in a slowing economy) is still a big risk, which may take years to recover. A hard landing & aggressive rate hikes may be devastating for stocks but the economy may recover faster. More pain more gain.
A topping TNX will be good for TLT bonds & growth stocks. Next supports are 3% & the H&S neck at 2.7%. A measured move for H&S may take TNX to the yellow 2% upper pivot zone, retesting the blue wedge or maybe to retest the big red downchannel from 1981.
Not trading advice
#TNX #US10Y 10 year yield at a top?So the 10 year yield has run hard on interest rate hike expectations.
However, as can be seen from the chart, the yield is currently about 93% above its 50 month moving average, the highest it has ever been...by far.
Using the TD indicator one can also see that the yields are potentially topping this month.
As can be seen from the Stochastic and RSI below, both are at major tops.
The yields and DXY priced in a more hawkish FED the last couple of days since we got the higher than expected CPI reading on 10 June.
Chances are that the FED will not be able to continue with higher interest rate hikes as this will crash the market.
So, the yields and DXY might have been running based on expectations but might revert quite a bit on actual release of FED interest rate decisions tomorrow.
TNX - Monhtly Cross FIngers "Hope" for Pullback on FED balance sheet dumping of Junk MBS and USTs.
All we can "Hope" for...
Should their grand plan backfire...
We head right to 3.50 - 3.60 and it's game over for
the Indies for a long, long time.
4% to 6% would create the worst possible outcome.
It's coming, simply "hope" there's more time on the Clock...
TNX - Walking the Scarlet HarlotPoof, up - down - all around...
2.76 dipped in @ 2.702, good to see.
With the FEDs distro of USTs and MBS well
underway ahead of June 15... gobbling up
Yields aren't working out so well.
No.
Supply Limited thanks to the Fellen over @
the Treasury... is now a catalyst for increased chasing.
Jerry can offload the Junk to Banks desperate for Yields
as they are seeing Loan Activity dry up like the Mohave.
Going to be an interesting Liquidity Crisis unfolding again.
TNX - Running with the Early Rolloffs.With the Fed turning loose the QT poof-fest ahead of schedule, it's been a bad look to date.
Wednesday was to be the Fierst day according to the Fed, unfortunately, the runoff began
ahead of schedule.
Strike another match for the firestarters.
_______________________________________________________________________________
In 90 days the Rolloff will double, at minimum.
TLT may return to 132-135 neutral zone as a flight to safety.TNX 10-yr yield may have peaked out as investors rotate to the safety of bonds in the 120-114
accumulation zone. TLT has completed a big M-pattern stopping at almost perfect FIBO levels. This ABC wave has already made a 300% retracement from the ATH of 173.89 made last 9Mar2020 before pandemic striked.
The 132-135 zone will be some sort of neutral area for determining inflation or deflation. It is also the neck zone of the M-pattern. As it fell quickly from this zone, the rebound will also be very fast looking at the volume profile that has a large space in between.
5 impulse waves & 3 ABC corrective waves have end this EW cycle & a new cycle shall begin as TLT returns to the baseline of my slanted FIBO CHANNEL where wave 3 had started at Feb2011.

TNX ZN TKT ZB - 10Year / 20Year / 30YearSh_t Mixed remain Bonds... every flight to Safety has been utterly and systematically
crushed.
It will be again and again as our Bond Market losses its Pillars of which there are 4.
One by one these are failing.
Longer-term, the lose/lose proposition will compound.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Short term, we'll see how YCC and an overall Market Panic can trend Yields.
The Fed has permitted the Bond Market to generate the necessary adjustments.
Strenght - historically has been in control of only the short end.
Operation twist is no longer relevant, the FED can simply clip coupons and trend into
expiration of Holdings while reinvesting across the entire Curve.
Sadly, engaging in Yield Curve Control (YCC) crossed the Rubicon.
My thesis has been proven entirely correct - instability by design.
Long term or short term top for rates? $US10Y ChartMany people look at this chart and start their trend line in 1981. If you start it at the 1987 peak, you get more reactions including the one we just had. Is this time different? we closed above the 200 month moving average for the first time ever. If that is flipped as support then this time is different! I will also say that the inverse head and shoulders pattern played out perfectly. I am short term bearish here.
10 Yr T-note $TNX Break-out$TNX has broken out of its long-standing 35 year descending channel, first time breaking out above 50 EMA and pushinf towards 100 EMA since 1994.
The descending channel includes both the dot.com and housing bubbles without breaking above the 50 EMA.
Given add'l rate hikes on the table and bloated CB balance sheets, extreme supply of money in the markets, overnight reverse repo in the trillions... there's an incredibly long way to go walking back unfettered money printing, unless the Fed gives up and lets inflation run unabated.
Either way, TNX isn't done climbing.
Expecting a bear market rally to bring it back for a 50 EMA retest is reasonable and normal; however, the broader macroenvironment is unhealthy and there's more room for these yields to run this year.
