US10Y: Prepare for a long term sell.The US10Y continues to trade inside the long term Channel Down since the October 21st High and has now formed the same peak formation as then. With the 1D time frame neutral (RSI = 45.126, MACD = 58.593, MACD = -0.280), the conditions have emerged for a new long term sell. If the previous -20% decline is repeated, then target the bottom of the Channel Down on a TP = 3.100.

US10Y
USDCHF Long to $0.97000📈Looking to buy USDCHF as market seems to have bottomed for the time being. We've seen strong bullish momentum from the current support zone, showing buyers are now taking over.
Buying Confluences:
🚫5 Wave Impulse Move Complete.
🚫DXY Strength (Positive Correlation)Corrective Move Yet to Follow.
🚫3 Wave Corrective Move Yet to Follow.
GOLD SHORT TO 1878📉As I said before, we expect a correction on the bigger TF for Gold, before bulls come back into the market. We've seen a 5 wave bullish completion on Gold, with markets being overbought at the same time. We've also seen a CHOC + BOS, indicating markets now ready to sell off in the short term.
Target 1: 1920-1877📉
Target 2: 1764-1740📉
Target 1 is our main target, before we DCA buy positions. Target 2 is a very deep retracement (bear trap) which we've only highlighted as a possibility, but not too fussed about.
US 10Y TREASURY: anticipating 25 bps hikeDebt-ceiling saga is finally over, which means that the US will not enter into technical default, which is something that the majority of market participants anticipated. It had some minor impact on the US 10Y yields. However, old topics are currently preoccupying the market, which is the question whether the Fed will increase interest rates at June`s FOMC meeting or it might be at July`s meeting. Anyway, anticipation of a further 25 bps hike is high, so the market reacted in line with its sentiment during the previous week.
The 10Y Treasury yields started the previous week below 3.8%. It was quite evident on the charts that 3.8% was a peaking level at this round. Lowest weekly level was 3.57% on Thursday, however, Friday`s better than expected jobs figures pushed yields back to the level of 3.7%. This comes in line with anticipations of another 25 bps hike in June/Julys FOMC sessions.
As per current charts, there is some probability that markets would push yields back to the 3.8% level, however, there is no indication, neither in fundamentals, that the yields might go higher from this level. On the opposite side, there is a lower probability that 3.5% might be tested again. However, it should be noted for the future period, that potential further rate hikes by the Fed, above currently expected 25 bps, might drive 10Y yields toward the 4%.

FEDFUNDS | Too TightThe point of TradingView (and being a human/trader in general) is to learn from your mistakes. I did make some mistakes. Perhaps this idea by itself is another mistake. But I cannot do any different. I must speak out about what I see.
For the past year I tried to understand the pressures that are pushing prices higher, equities lower.
It is important in analysis to avoid the mass, the "common truth".
We all have expected a future of uncontrollable inflation, extreme prices and The Great Reset. The place where everything is too expensive to buy, and we will have to live with coupons.
While some of these may come, it is important to analyze what isn't coming.
Oil prices have been paired with the dollar (with the petrodollar).
Many expect oil prices to explode even further, while "dollar is losing value" and "hyperinflation is imminent".
Some charts however show a different picture...
WIth the 2M chart warning of downward swing, and with the 3M chart showing divergence, the future of oil may not be as explosive as we may believe.
But that is in relative terms. The strength of money seems fated to increase a lot more. Which in relative terms will constitute oil cost to be viable.
In the main chart, it appears that oil is moving into what appears to be a Wyckoff Distribution.
And oil is not the only one who will have trouble with the high-yield environment.
Until now, the usual equity-bond investment scheme has performed tremendously.
This trend is now changing. With a significant trend violation that occurred last year, it seems that we are entering a new period of investment strategies.
From bonds as a hedge against equity weakness, investors should seek alternatives.
The old way of doing things is broken. Commodities will be playing a significant role in the future of investments.
It is in our power to find the new way of doing things.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

P.S. A link to the indicator I am using.
GOLD SHORT TO 1878📉We are still short on Gold for just a little bit longer. However, we can see that Gold is struggling with its bearish momentum. Wouldn't surprise me to see a liquidity grab to the upside. But overall, we are still BEARISH.
On 14th June, we have the Federal Reserve announcing the next interest rate decision. They are expected to hike rates again by 25BPS which is negative for Gold. What we might possibly see beforehand is institutional investments pushing Gold back up towards the $2,000+ region, so they can sell it off from a higher price.
US 10Y TREASURY: peaking at 3.8%? During the previous week the US Treasury yields were under influence of both debt-ceiling ongoing negotiations without an actual deal, and posted PCE data. As officially released data on PCE shows higher than expected monthly output of 0.4%, it heated expectations of market participants that the Fed will most probably continue with further rate increases of 25 bps in June`s meeting. Reaction of the market was an increase of Treasury yields, where 10Y bond yields increased from 3.6% up to 3.8%.
Insecurity is still high on the market, so it might be expected that bond yields will stay elevated during the following period of time. At this moment, there is no indication on charts that yields might go higher, reaching 4%, so at this moment there is a sort of peak at level of 3.8%. Still, if the Fed continues to increase interest rates, a 4% might easily become a target of 10Y bonds. For the week ahead the most important to watch is potential debt-negotiation deal, as the US might enter into default as soon as June 5th, as per Treasury Secretary Yellen. Hopefully, this will not be the end scenario. If deal is accomplished, the yields might revert a bit to the downside, probably to the level of 3.6%.
US10Y Approaching the top of the Channel Down. Sell opportunity.The U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y) is approaching the top of the (blue) Channel Down pattern, which was our bullish target on our last trade ten days ago (see chart below):
Despite not having hit it yet, we decide to close this long trade as we see more value in starting a sell-near-highs approach now. There is also a diverging Channel Down (dotted lines) involved and the maximum technical top that the price can make without breaking any pattern is the top of the Rectangle (4.090% Resistance). That will be our 2nd and final sell entry.
Pay attention to the 1D RSI also, which is approaching the overbought barrier (70.00) just like on February 21. Our bearish strategy targets the May 04 Low at 3.300%.

Equity SpringThe Bear Extermination mission is now complete. There are no bears alive to tell the story.
Last winter will be written in the history books. But remember, history is written by the winners.
After all the Bears got trapped, we are left with a market full of neutrals and bulls.
The most extremist of bears are gone. Negligible now the effect of the baby bears.
Spring season greets the only ones left alive.
Last year Bears got scammed. Panic ensued when equities began dropping rapidly.
Little did they know, that what they lost in Equity value, they gained in Dollar value.
Investors' sentiment can easily get played. And it can easily be measured.
The incredible thing about the chart above, the Equity Put Call Ratio, is that it proves the overwhelmingly negative sentiment that exists now.
Everyone "braces for impact", volatility is reaching incredible lows because nobody trades, expecting the crash to come any day now.
Low volatility doesn't necessarily lead to higher volatility.
Spring is the best season for traders.
It may very well have come and passed, and we haven't realized it.
Equities have indeed slowed down.
But perhaps they are now moving as slow as it gets.
It is certain however that many more springs will come and go...
A trader must be wise, and adapt in the new balances.
One used to profit indefinitely from the perfect equity-bond investment strategy. Now this does not work.
Bonds will get bust! And money will flow out of bonds and seek other shelter.
Now one can get rich just by holding onto fiat currency.
Gold "currency" is fighting for survival...
While crypto is beating most kinds of investments.
It seems that money is flowing out of Bonds and Gold, and into Equities and Energy.
The message is clearly written.
Either you find the truth by yourself, or you listen to what others have to say. Just make sure to listen to the right voice.
May the truth be your guidance, not wealth.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

US 10Y TREASURY: 4% is far away?The US Treasury yields were under influence of Fed Chair Powell's speech in Washington as well as ongoing negotiations regarding the debt-ceiling. Although Powell did not mention anything new in his speech over a potential monetary move in the future period, still, Lorie Logan, a Dallas Fed President, made a comment as of the end of the previous week, that monetary data are still not justifying the halt in Fed's rate hike. Market reaction was imminent, so the 10Y Treasuries surged by 7 bps to the highest weekly level at 3.72%. Still, yields are finishing the week around short-term support at $3.6%.
As long as insecurity in markets holds, and further rate hikes are not clearly communicated with the market, it could be expected for 10Y Treasuries to be elevated. The major resistance line at 3.6% has been breached on Friday. This means that the market will start week ahead by testing this level for some time. On the other hand, news on the debt-ceiling negotiations would certainly have an impact on Treasury yields, which might bring some volatility back on the market. On the opposite side, a clear break of 3.6% resistance has opened a way for a 4% next resistance. It should not be expected for this level to be reached in the week ahead, but in case that Fed continues with rate increases, a 4% might easily become the next target.
SPX/DJI: A Peculiar CorrelationPrice action discounts everything.
The most important included. It discounts prejudgement.
Price discounts everything every time...
...except when we don't want to allow it to change our hypotheses.
High yield rates are synonymous with recession.
We are convinced that high yield rates is the thing the majority hates.
From this chart above, we conclude that this may not be happening after all...
The majority (500 SPX companies) is growing against the minority (30 DJI companies) in periods when yield rates consistently rise.
Everything is relative. Recession is relative. Bubbles are relative.
A Big-Tech bubble was formed throughout the last two decades.
Now, in a high-yield environment, this bubble is fed using derivatives.
With incredible correlation, as yield rates increase, the relative density of QQQ derivatives increases. While this is an experimental calculation, only QQQ is showing this kind of derivative filling. SPX and DJI show more stable behavior.
Given that in DJI most companies are Big-Tech, the following chart comes up to prove the long-term fundamentals of big vs small.
Curiously, yield rates target a range of about 8%, similar to the inflationary highs.
Inflation seems to be calming. Many wish rate cuts...
A rate cut schedule however may signal the beginning of a recession for the US.
Cutting rates will push bond prices higher. Thus, a money outflow from equities and into bonds is created. This outflow will be a cause for SPX weakness.
As the SPX*yields chart suggested, a near-term recession may be coming.
For the following few years, SPX seems strong as the yield-SPX/DJI correlation showed.
It can take decades though for balance to shift decisively.
We need both oscillators to get bearish for a convincing move.
While Buffett advised investing into oil, but not all oil is the same...
(High yield rates for the US will drive prices lower. Yield-SPX correlation points us to SPX bullishness in a high-yield environment)
In a progressively higher-yield environment, the outflow from bonds and into equities can get immense.
A US debt default will outright crash bond prices, aiding the potential for SPX to move higher.
Not all is well for the US though. Money is already seeking other ventures...
Don't fall for the news-driven trap.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
P.S. A US Default might not be as light as I describe.
Who knows how big the scale of such an event might be...
P.S.2. I am posting a link to the indicator I am using:
It is highly experimental, but I am beginning to get a good grip of it. Many adjustments may follow. This indicator can be used in any timeframe, and in charts of any scale.
Will the U.S. default on their debt?eather the US default on their debt or raise their debt ceiling; it’s a bad thing either way for the US Dollar & economy;
US DEFAULTS🩸:
⭕️They fall into a deep recession
⭕️Roughly 7.8 million jobs will be lost
⭕️Unemployment rate doubles to 8%
⭕️Crime rate/poverty increases
⭕️Stocks & Bonds will be sold off/401(K) effected. Financial markets crash
⭕️Social security payments delayed
US RAISES DEBT CEILING💸:
⭕️More money printed out of thin air
⭕️Inflation sores even higher
⭕️Interest Rates keeping getting hiked higher
⭕️More mortgage defaults, so more homes get seized
⭕️Banks hand out less personal/business loans, along with mortgages
⭕️USD strengthens, which is a bad thing as more countries will refuse to do business with them
⭕️More bank failures
As a result, we will see an outflow of institutional investments away from equities, with an inflow of investments into commodities like Gold & Silver.
US10Y Still room to rise but be ready to short the top.The U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y) hit the downside target on our previous signal (see idea below) and is currently rising again:
Being above both the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), we see the potential of a diverging Channel Down to emerge and establish itself (dotted lines). The completion of a 1D Death Cross, the first since August 25 2021, ensures that the long-term trend remains bearish. As a result, buy the rest of this bullish Lower High leg and be ready to sell again at the top of the original (blue) Channel Down.
If the 1D RSI gets rejected on the dashed Lower Highs trend-line, consider the potential of an early top and sell again. Our target for end of July is 3.150%.

GOLD SELL TO 1966📉This here is the analysis we used to enter short positions for our Gold Fund investors. We have 2 positions open, one from 2050 and another from 2040. We waited for a CHOC and BOS, which would have completed Wave A according to the EW theory. This was followed by a move back up to our OB (Wave B), now expecting a move towards 1966!
GOLD LONG TO 2024📈This here is my short term bias on Gold buy's. The market is currently creating a complex correction structure, in order to trap both new buyers & sellers into the market. This inducement will be used as liquidity when Gold makes its next big move. For now we are just playing within this consolidation phase.

SPX | Waiting For The Miracle To ComeThis year has been very boring... Lot's of horizontal movement, not many interesting news.
Well, except of course that "a couple" of banks went bust.
But if I didn't tell you that, you couldn't tell where in this chart this occurred...
SPX, and the market in general, has been too stubborn despite the importance of the events occurring.
On the one hand, this makes sense. This kind of crisis (banking) has come before, so the markets are calm. A crisis comes when nobody expects it to. And by design, a crisis is an unknowing event of unknowing consequences. A bank going bust is not frightening anymore. The market expects the FED to step-in and bail everyone out.
But the FED cannot possibly bail anyone out. They cannot print any more money (we might have reached a debt ceiling), and even if they could, they could be unwilling to print more money. Inflation will get worse.
So no more money.
Dollar has served as the worldwide reserve currency, until now. China amongst other powerful nations, collaborate into creating an alternative reserve currency. One that will be controlled by them, not by a panicking (?) FED.
The FED might not be panicking, even if we believe that they are trapped. I believe that they have very good knowledge of what they do, and of the repercussions. Absurdly high interest rates can be a mechanism to increase the dollar purchasing strength. And you need purchasing power when you have enemies (Russia, China etc.)
Since 2015, this has worked out tremendously well. The Dollar is making higher highs.
Of course, there are many fundamentals (like the Dollar Milkshake) that push the dollar value to new highs. But interest rates are interest-ing (hahaha) to the Dollar.
And the Dollar is winning battles against many countries of the world.
And with lower money supply, it's value is fated to increase even further.
(I like real reality, not augmented reality, that's why I used M2REAL instead of M2SL)
The money supply is vacuumed back into the printer which created it. And the power of the vacuum is not big, it is exponential.
The Dollar Milkshake Black Hole is now open.
But how much can the FED possibly hike?
The discrepancy between the FED's rate and the Market's rate is at it's highest level. The FED may not be able to hike any higher against the market's expectance. Who knows what will happen if the FED overcomes this limit... (is it even fundamentally possible?)
Inflation is high and it is fated to increase even more. I have posted about it extensively.
The preview of this chart idea is broken, oops...
Now, oil is looking substantial signs of strength.
Oil, the main inflation influencer, is showing significant signs of bottoming. Furthermore, it has retested a trendline that followed us since 2008. Long-term, the only way for Crude is up!
And the only way for equities is down! Just to reach the mean, the OIL/SPX ratio has to increase by 75%. So there is much room upwards for commodities...
Have you realized what SPX has shaped into?
Could this be the anatomy of a bubble? And has it already broken?
It seems that the recession is only now just beginning.
During normal times for the US economy, equities could grow even as yields were increasing. Now we are entering a period of weakness for the economy. Something has to give, either the equities go bust, or the yield rates. (Equities have much more room to drop than Yields do)
A crisis is definitely inching towards us...
A final chart for today:
Equities used to grow as money was created. Now this chart has immense dynamics to move downwards. In a sense, equities have MUCH room downwards, even if money gets created. This comes to prove that equities cannot absorb any more money supply. Money printing from the FED cannot possibly help equities, no matter what they do, they are trapped inside the bearish wedge. Only way for equities is down!
And similarly for SPX
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
PS. What could these charts mean? Are they of any meaning after all?
A crisis is definitely itching towards us...
I HAVE to test. All the time. Or I get this... this ITCH. It must be hardwired into the system or something.
