US10Y
#US10Y Yields perhaps a little extended here short term?Got to be brave trying to run infront of this steamroller, but we are starting to see signs of bearish divergence where price(yield) is making higher highs, not confirmed by the RSI and MACD which are currently making lower highs. This could be warning of a short term reprieve in yields which could be bullish risk assets. However, given the current environment with conflict in the middle east, one has to becareful
US 10 YEAR YIELDS (UPDATE)🚀Despite hitting our target, the US10Y has kept pushing much higher due to economic uncertainty. Biden has requested for an extra $100 billion in Congress to fund the Russia & Ukraine war, to give money to Taiwan & more money to Israel, to carry on their genocide against Palestine.
If this $100 billion is approved, then we can expect Bond prices to carry on crashing, while the US10Y keeps reaching new highs.

Overlayed with the following:

The USCBBS Percentage Change shows the money raining down :-D
It's clear to see the relationship between the Fed buying Treasuries, i.e. Quantitative Easing (QE) and the increase in US10Y prices.
Quantitative Tightening (QT) is the name of the game now. There is A LOT of QT left to do, we're at most 25% into QT since the Fed has only rolled off roughly 1Trillion. They likely have 3+ Trillion to go. Expect US10Y to be under continued pressure as long as QT is in effect. Even when Fed Funds rates are lowered it will have little effect on US10Y while the biggest buyer of Treasuries is on hiatus.
US 10Y TREASURY: has finally topped?It was a sort of game of nerves during the previous week, watching the US 10Y yields reach the level of 5%. This occurred for the first time after 2007, but the difference on charts was that no one was sure whether yields would stop at this level. It was such a strong push to the upside, after Fed Chair Powell's speech at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday. Although he said nothing new with respect to potential further rising of interest rates or inflation, still, the markets did not want to hear that jobs and economic growth need to suffer in order to bring the inflation down to 2%. Adding to it the developments within the Middle East crisis, the perfect storm occurred with US Treasuries.
Friday`s trading session brought some ease in 10Y Treasury yields, so they finished the week at the level of 4.91%. In case that they continue to ease in the week ahead, then the level of 4.80 might be the next stop for yields. However, in the case of any potential negative news which might bring yields to the higher grounds from 5%, it would certainly not be at all a good sign for the future prospectus for the US economy.
Bitcoin decopule with US10Y ? Where to look in bull cycle ?It has been commonly accepted that when yields and rates rise then higher risk assets should fall in value as money is tempted by yield returns
This relationship seems to be getting tested as Bitcoin and US10Y moves up together. It does give impression that bitcoin is not as risky as potentially imagined and can be seen as a flight to safety or "quality" to quote Fink.
If bitcoin continues then it is commonly accepted that it will lead out smaller caps in the cryptosphere
Its important to note that Bitcoin (on average) moves first. Why this is important is because it flies in the face of those who say Bitcoin will give less return then 'X' coin because in the very end X will ultimately move up more in % terms. However, if Bitcoin (on average) leads out the rest then the opportunity to reallocate lays mostly with those holding bitcoin. If you have to wait and watch as the rest of the market booms to see smallcap X coin eventually make its move.. then you have little chance of redistribution and any compounding. Whereas Bitcoin holders can take profit during btc move and redistribute into smallcap X coin pre its own breakout and essentially compound growth in that cycle.
Where after Bitcoin?
I believe that safe bets beyond Bitcoin that will move well post bitcoin runs are the sub sector monopolies within the cryptosphere. Coins that dominate their sector. Clear example is Uniswap's UNI.
US10Y Bearish Divergence tells us it may be time for correctionLast time we looked at the U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y), it gave us a technical bounce and profitable buy signal (see chart below) as the Higher Lows trend-line held:
This time we get an opposite signal as the 1D RSI formed Lower Highs, while the price is on Higher Highs, which is a technical Bearish Divergence. The asset is still supported both by the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and the Higher Lows 3 trend-line since the May 04 Low.
Our strategy is to sell and target a price slightly above each Higher Lows trend-line, then re-sell if a 1D candle closes below that Higher Lows trend-line. Target 1 is 4.745, if a 1D candle closes below Higher Lows 1, we will re-sell and target 4.645 (expected contact with the 1D MA50). If Higher Lows 2 break, then re-sell and target 4.465 on Higher Lows 3 and a projected contact with the 1D MA100 (green trend-line).

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
The bear steepener and when we will get our scripted eventWatch this curve because the market always knows, and the market isn't as free as many think. Gives us a sign when the true risk off kicks in. Might be due for a short relief soon, and then it starts. A potential bounce area is market as white, might not match and steepen now, but the breadth indicates that more likely than not we will get it in a matter of weeks now since we've technically broke out from the pattern.

Pushing' down on me,
Pressing' down on you,
No man ask for...
Technical graph says that possible upside with NYSE:CFG stocks could be possible, with projected/ targeted line at 52W SMA.
With 6.20% dividends yield, double-digit operating yield and P/B just at 0.6, NYSE:CFG securities can be considered as quite undervalued.
The protection level can be considered as multi months (6-, 12-months) low.
🐹 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.

US 10Y TREASURY: weight interest rate outlookThe US Treasury yield eased a bit during the previous week, after a sharp move to the upside, during the past two weeks. This comes as a result of market expectations that the Fed might skip further rate increases during the course of this year. Latest published inflation figures are indicating that the inflation is clearly on its down-path, but still there are some uncertainties which might impact its short reversal, especially due to geopolitical tensions.
The 10Y Treasury yields started the previous week around 4.8% level, but soon eased and reached level of 4.5%. Still, yields are finishing the week around 4.6% level. As markets are now increasing probability for Fed to pause its further rate hikes during both November`s and December`s meetings, it could be expected for US Treasury yields to further ease. They will start the week ahead around 4.6%, with a high probability for 4.5% to be tested one more time, but there is no indication on charts that 4.4% might be reached in the week ahead.
US10Y Bullish as long as the 1day MA50 holds.The 10year Bond Yields / US10Y is trading inside a Channel Up since May 1st.
The last two weeks the price is pulling back after a Higher High rejection and Double Top on Resistance A (4.888), aiming at the bottom of the Channel Up.
That is a buy opportunity to target 4.888 again.
If on the other hand the 1day MA50 breaks (is untouched since July 20th), sell and target 4.222 (Support A).
Keep an eye on the Rising Support of the 1day RSI also for early bearish signals.

GOLD SHORT TO 1767 (4H UPDATE)📉Gold bulls have been absolutely rocketing today on the news of Israel invading Palestine & killing even more citizens. 500+ PIPS within a day & it's only been half a day😵💫 Be interesting to see how market closes its weekly candle today.
Below $1,920 - Bearish
$1,930 - $1,940 - Neutral
Above $1,940 - Bullish
GOLD SHORT TO 1767 (4H UPDATE)📉If you look at the 4H candles you'll be able to see buying momentum is slowing down rapidly. Price has also taken out the equal high liquidity at $1,880 which'll give sellers the momentum to carry on down. Waiting for price to settle down now & provide a more clear market structure. But overall, looking very good👍
DOLLAR INDEX LONG TO $108 (UPDATE)📈The Dollar Index has just about missed our $108 target, shy of 50 PIPS. However, I still think the DXY will make its way back up.
USD markets like USDJPY haven't topped yet & neither has negative correlating markets like Gold bottomed either. I expect the Dollar to to find its top in the coming weeks, with Gold also bottoming soon. Then we'll witness major reversals📈
$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

US 10Y TREASURY: is it over?The US Treasuries were in the market spotlight during the previous week. Their sell-off continued also during the week, when yields reached their highest level at 4.88% for 10Y benchmark, which was its highest level for the last 16 years. The yields started to relax a bit on Thursday, however, Friday’s strong jobs report supported market sentiment on potential for another Fed's rate hike during this year, and yield slipped back toward the 4.80% where they are finishing the week.
As US inflation figures for September will be posted in the week ahead, the current question is whether the market has fully priced another rate hike by the Fed during the previous week or it will need some more time? Current yields are in a range of those from the 2008 financial crisis, and potential higher levels of 10Y Treasury bonds from those in 2008 would certainly send a negative sentiment to many holders of the US Treasury bonds all over the world, let aside consequences which many institutions could have due to negative valuations.
At this moment some precaution could be advisable for the US Treasuries. Charts are pointing for some time on potential for reversal and so is for the week ahead. The level of 4.6% is pointed on the charts as a potential next stop of 10Y yields, however, markets might easily decide to act in a different way in the week ahead.
$US10Y Reaches 16 Year High, Short-Term Forecast & DiscussionThe TVC:US10Y has been extremely bullish since May 2023, and has gained more strength after the Fed's hawkish announcement that led to a "higher for longer" interest rate environment. The TVC:US10Y has broke through numerous resistance levels to reach its 16-year high. From a technical analysis perspective, the TVC:US10Y has a tendency to have strong bullish rallies with breaks above the Bollinger Band (marked by yellow lines). We are observing that scenario in the current bonds market. There is a likelihood that the rally continues for a few more weeks (approximately 1-4 weeks). However, I think the TVC:US10Y and bonds market are due for a correction back down to the EMA ribbon. A strong bond market hurts equities because investors perceive TVC:US10Y as a less riskier investment alternative. This is hurting SP:SPX in the short term, but a peaking TVC:US10Y could also signal the bottom of the SP:SPX correction at current levels. For now investors are waiting for Friday's jobs data after the Tuesday JOLTS job openings data came in worse than expected.
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.
