4-27-23 [us10y]hello,
here is one more layer of confluence,
to back up my spx case.
---
to the untrained eye, this looks like total, nonsensical chop,
but to a space explorer, it can easily be viewed as a 3-3-3.
what is a 3-3-3?
glad you ask anon:
a 3-3-3, is a very corrective structure,
designed to kill time mostly-
labeled w-x-y.
wxy = double zig-zag
these channel nicely,
as portrayed in the image above.
---
once this double zig-zag concludes into the summer time,
i predict the stock market will crash.
---
enjoy it till then, and as always ---
this is not financial advice,
i am merely an artist,
bringing to you,
art.

SPX | Spaaace!!!Spaaaaaaaaaaace!
Let's make a quick party, also bring a cake to celebrate! Make it quick, because it's late and I am tired and I should be sleeping by now.
We have reached the top of the world. Well, equities have. It is time for them to lose value big time. Their successor is here, bonds. I have talked about it extensively in my last idea.
This is an urgent idea I wanted to post. It seems that day-by-day we might be witnessing the peak in equity price.
And this idea is dedicated to the person who gave me the crazy idea to analyze something like that.
The idea is simple. We all know the immense yield inversion, it is definitely ugly... What if we found a way to analyze SPX based on the yield inversion itself? That is the idea of @CryptoTaoist and I am very thankful for it. All credit and all the likes this idea gets, are dedicated to this person!
Yield curve is a way to calculate money creation (normal times) and money destruction (inverted times).
Green is good for money, red is bad. No wonder dollars are green but flammable!
We also know that yield inversion is strictly bound to recessions. I will naively try to add these two together, equities and inversions to get an idea of when the recession is actually beginning.
Me and others have posted about how the US isn't in a recession yet. This can be seen if we multiply SPX by yields. In a sense, this year we had no recession for the US economy.
Please bring a real cake, not this lie...
The next part is analyzing whether SPX is performing good or bad considering the current rate of money creation / destruction. In a sense, dividing SPX by the yield curve. If you calculate the yield curve as US10Y-US02Y you will have trouble analyzing it compared with SPX.
Captivity of Negativity. Zero values for the denominator make a mess of the chart.
You could instead opt for a bodge, to fix the denominator by adding 1.
While this works, it is not harmonic enough for my liking.
I will create a new yield curve, but instead of standard yields I will calculate it using modified-yields.
More about the modified-yields in this idea below.
The new yield curve (in blue) is following the standard yield curve (in orange). So it can be considered a satisfactory replacement.
Do note that on the numerator we have modified(US10Y). On the denominator we have modified(US02Y+1). I add this +1 so as to further normalize the chart. In normal times US10Y and US02Y have a difference of ~1%.
To conclude, we divide SPX with the modified yield curve and we see the following:
A surprisingly smooth chart shows us what we expected, that the US isn't in a recession yet. It is also incredibly straight, from 2010-2022 and today. This means that yield curve and SPX correlate very well, if we modify them appropriately.
In a sense, dividing SPX by the yield curve calculates the following:
How much SPX increases as money gets destroyed?
If SPX can swim against the tide (money destruction) this means that it is very strong. A strong economy can hang on even when money is destroyed. US hanging on even with that immense of money destruction, means that it was (and perhaps still is) a very strong economy, which can withstand a heavy beating.
Note: DGS2 is a good replacement for US02Y if you want to analyze old historical data. Feel free to notify me of indicators that calculate even older yields of the 2 year bond.
But where is the ceiling in this chart?
While the 2.0 Retracement proves a significant resistance point, it is inconclusive of whether it is the terminal ceiling.
One answer may lie in the following chart:
(I knew the cake is a lie!!!)
We have divided by M2SL and multiplied by 10^12 to bring numbers to measurable scale. A normalized chart appears, and we also observe a curious ceiling appearing.
Price obsessively tries to penetrate this ceiling, just like DJI/M2SL did in 2018-2020
Are we witnessing the very last weeks of the equity bubble?
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

Gold Long to 2023📈This here is a buy position I am looking at in the short term. We have seen Wave 1 of the downtrend start, since then sellers have been taking a rest. Sellers seem to be re-accumulating more positions for a move lower. There is a chance that we could see 1 more move higher towards HKEX:2 ,023 as long as Gold could hold above Wave B. Very tight SL.

US10Y: Last dip before a medium term reboundThe US10Y is trading inside a Channel Down ever since its market peak on October 21st. The 1D technicals are neutral (RSI = 54.601, MACD = 0.300, ADX = 17.030) giving a mixed tone to the price action but based on the December-January Lows we can see the the Channel Down has one last dip to make before it bottoms and rebounds on the medium term. We will wait for that pullback around 3.250 and buy targeting the 0.618 Fibonacci (TP = 3.750).

decided to update my primary today, to further align with the current states of the market.
my upside target remains the same, at 5.9%--6% into 2024, but i think we go slightly lower locally, into june before it pops.
summer time is historically quite bullish in the market, so a slight pause on rates to align with seasonality makes sense.
thanks JP,
your service is appreciated ♥.

i got you an update if the structure changes.

XAUUSD SHORT TO 1764📉After analysing price action, it seems that Gold is moving very choppy to the upside despite the constant surges. It indicates that these surges are a bull trap & liquidity grab, as there is a lot of imbalance & internal LQ still left around $1,860. However, we have to be careful as Gold is close to taking out its ATH at $2,075 hence why we will be leaving our invalidation level at that price. TP1: $1,860. TP2: $1764.
BARE IN MIND, this here will be the FINAL CHANCE to short Gold as a mid term move. A break above $2,075 & Gold will be heading towards our long term target of $2,300 and much further beyond💰
Gold Short to 1924📉We've seen a 5 wave completion on Gold, marking the end of this current uptrend. This will now be followed by a 3 wave corrective structure (A,B,C). This correction should push Gold prices towards mid 1900's, where you could possibly look at new buy positions if market structure offers the opportunity.
The next zones followed by that would be 1840 & 1760📉

DOW(N)? | A Dollar Milkshake ScenarioI feel bad when I am filling up your feed with my non-stop posting.
There are too many charts that I want to talk about. I could post them as "updates" to my earlier ideas. But this would be confusing for me and for the reader.
Therefore, here is another short chart analysis.
The last few months were peculiar. DJI began diverging away from the other main indices, SPX, NDQ. A significantly strong movement of DJI the last few months brings hope to the Equity Bulls.
A fast and high-reaching Bull Run.
A discrepancy between indices is not necessarily hopeful. In classic Dow Theory, when different parts of the market moved differently from others, it signaled an alert that deserved attention. As a classic example, when the railroad index didn't confirm the general index growth, this could have been bad news. While the Dow Theory is replaced from more modern methods, it is fun looking back and analyzing using the most classical of methods. It certainly gives a new perspective into what we analyze today.
While price discounts all, relationships matter. SPX, DJI etc don't live on their own. Their price is highly subject to the fundamentals of the economy, which are hard to calculate. The only thing we can do is take the fundamentals into equation, and make a retrospect analysis into some charts, just to get some perspective.
I will now explain why I believe such a discrepancy occurred. An exotic chart follows, making some calculations on DJI.
Later on you will understand what this chart means. Similarly for SPX:
It appears that there is a fundamental ceiling above. And DJI just upthrusted to reach it.
Fundamental ceilings like these cannot be predicted. We can see them from their effect in long-term charts.
In 2022, what we lost in Equity value, we gained in Dollar strength. Therefore we calculate DXY*DJI to get some perspective of the absolute DJI price. It is sort-of the price of DJI relative to the world economy.
While there are similarities to 1995 - and while anything could happen - I believe that this is a fake-out. But the future of Equities might not be like we expect them to be.
The post-2020 period is a period that resembles a blow-off top.
In my 1-year experience, DXY and Equities depend on the Yield Curve. We all know that, the Yield Curve has significant importance in calculating Equity performance.
While short-term movement depends on the yield curve, the long-term movement depends on long-term yield rates.
And this correlation between the Yield Curve and DXY makes sense.
The yield curve represents the "rate money is created out of thin air". It's inverse represents the "rate money is destroyed".
DXY is a measure of dollar strength. Strength of currencies depend on many factors (most of which I don't have the knowledge to analyze). One of these factors is currency scarcity coupled with interest rates.
With all of that we can conclude to the following consequences of a possible dominance of the dollar.
-- It is obvious that dollar dominance will lead DXY much higher.
-- Money Supply is rapidly decreasing. The FED is dedicated into killing inflation.
-- A correlation between DXY and the inverse of yield curve might lead to the following conclusion:
A decisively high DXY needs a deep yield inversion. And perhaps we are stuck with a multi-year yield inversion.
Price might get rejected upon attempting to enter the long-term formation. It will have significant trouble re-entering the money-creation-area (positive yield inversion)
As for the effect in equities, things are quite complex...
For the following charts, I will be replacing DXY with the yield-curve, which is the fundamental movement that affects dollar strength.
Until now, Equities haven't felt the effect of the Yield Inversion.
This may soon change. Price reached a significant retracement and with a sloped ceiling, bearishness is apparent.
This chart is concerning for equities. It describes the absolute strength of the Equity Market. And with so significant divergences in such a big scale, it comes to show the sheer scale of the damage that might be coming in equities. And it will be real damage, damage that we haven't already felt.
All of these are calculations are in relative performance. It is hard to calculate the effect in equities in absolute terms.
One thing is for sure: A deepening yield inversion will keep the real equity prices higher for longer. Therefore we cannot calculate anything while we are in this upside down period.
And who knows... The recession everybody expects may never come. If the yield curve is negative for years, the dollar will be making higher highs in strength.
And a strong dollar isn't necessarily bad for equities. It is in the hands of corporations to keep the game going, and investors happy. In the years to come, the equity market may not be able to make new all-time highs. But this is not a lose-lose scenario for equities. Companies instead of rewarding investors with higher index prices, they can reward them with higher dividends.
After all, an investment in dollar-denominated markets is like investing in dollar itself. And if you believe in the Dollar Milkshake, then everything measured in dollar is most definitely for you!
The recession everyone is convinced that is coming, may never come.
Capitalism has worked tremendously well for the US.
QE and the Stock Market mania fed the .com bubble.
Who knows, maybe QT and the Dollar mania may feed another bubble.
Capitalism and money work in mysterious ways... Bubbles and Recessions come when nobody expects them to come.
With so much money printed, we either created a recipe for disaster, or a recipe for the biggest bubble humanity has ever seen.
Who knows what the effect might be if that money supply is put to work.
And with such a significant shift in Bonds (from long-term bullish to long-term bearish), the money invested in them will eventually leave the Bond market and seek other adventures.
No matter what happens, the future is scary and exciting!
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

so here it is.

won't give you any reasoning behind this theory as i am not a fundamentalist or anything -
just a data scientist who makes predictions using the stars.

i'm theorizing that the us dollar hits 131 (at the minimum) by 2028.
this will be devastating for the global markets.

jerome powell explicitly mentioned in a few of the recent talks that the fed is going to raise the interest rates above 5%, and keep them there for some time.
what this tells me, is they're expecting inflation to tick back up - or they're taking the extra precautions to ensure that this indeed doesn't take place.
---
what i am implying here in my count - is an extension to 5.9% (at the bare minimum).
this could mark a top, unless we pull back in three waves (the same we did from the recent top).

dxy 4-14-23gm,
i called both the bottom in 2021, and the top last year on the dxy

very few people heard my voice -
swinging by into the public communities to share this very general post today.

dxy came down in 5 waves from my upside target, seemingly.
possible w5 isn't in yet as it could see a slight extension - also possible that it is.

once 5 waves down is indeed confirmed, a three wave retracement will take place, with force.
when this retracement takes place, the markets will take a beating.

USD/JPY decouples from US yieldsUSD/JPY reverses ahead of the March low (129.65) to bounce along the 50-Day SMA (133.24), while the 10-Year US Treasury yield rises for the third consecutive day after registering a fresh yearly low (3.25%) earlier this month.
Recent developments in the correlation coefficient point to a further decoupling as the indicator reflects a negative slope and sits at a negligible reading of +0.30.
USD/JPY Outlook
Unlike US yields, USD/JPY may attempt to retrace the decline from the March high (137.91) as it clears the opening range for April to register a fresh monthly high (133.87).
USD/JPY may push towards the 136.00 (23.6% Fibonacci expansion) handle as it trades back above the 50-Day SMA (133.24), but failure to hold above the moving average may lead to a test of the monthly low (130.63).

Big Picture: S&P 500 (SPY) Over a Simple Risk/RewardI like to follow the course of 'risk appetite' but there are many definitions of sentiment from the perception of confidence in a particular asset up to an assessment of the entire financial system as a whole. I like the top down approach in this case as much of what happens in individual assets on a regular basis roles up to an industry/region/asset class or the broader financial system. For me, gauging 'risk appetite' answers much of the market activity currently unfolding in the market.
For measures of market-wide sentiment, I have made very simple to very complicated. This is very simple. Going by the standard 'risk/reward' perspective: a singular (but imperfect) 'risk' measure is the $VIX and a similar 'reward' metric is the US 10-year yield. Of course, there are many issues with the VIX and it is derived from US markets (S&P 500 specifically). However, the US equity index is one fo the most ubiquitous gauges of investor activity in the world. As for the US 10-year, there is certainly better yielding assets, but most of it is based on a 'prime-plus' and this benchmark is treated as the prime.
All that said, this risk/reward gauge seems to have just recently rounded off as the rate regime starts to taper off and volatility start to stir. Longer-term relationship has skewed - a sign of equities ($SPY S&P 500 here) inflating over time and the lack of return in a traditional portfolio one makes in zero rate environments. You can rise the SPY wave or FAANG or meme stocks or crypto to try and get greater return; but it invites ever greater risk relative to the expected returns.
Are there any other good 'risk/reward' measures that are both indicative of the global market and simple?
SPX | Let The Roaring '20s Begin!As the famous billionaire said in December 2021 (elon), the "prophet" who is apparently loved and trusted by everyone. I don't know why...
Disclaimer, SPX by itself will probably not follow this path, things are quite complex as you will soon find out.
First of all, Recession is not something simple. Everyone talks about it, but it is not always meaningful.
This year, equities weren't in a recession. While on the one hand the prices dropped, the denominator (dollar value) increased.
The 2022 "Recession" is not apparent, we have just hit the mean. Note that the channel is automatically drawn from 1950 using the Log-scaled Linear Regression indicator.
Taking note of the above, we can interpret that instead of SPX following the 1920's bubble, the pair SPX*yields will.
These charts above give us a valuable lesson. Until now, a .50 increase in yields had little effect on the direct equity value.
A monthly rate hike of 100 points had little meaning in the 80s. A change from 15% to 16% on yields for example, is just a 6% increase in the immediate price of money.
A change from 0.25% to 4.50% in 2022, is an 18x increase.
This means that the immediate effects of such an increase are dramatical. The 2022 "recession" occured just because price was so rapidly revalued. The change in dollar value is "effective immediately", when a rate-hike comes. Everything measured in dollars is immediately repriced accordingly. Even if price may take time to show it, cost does change.
The USOIL true price changed immediately. US investors enjoy a massive discount in oil price, while the rest of the world "enjoys" a bull-flag.
But this phenomenon will not last forever. Rates will eventually hit a ceiling and the FED will pivot. I will now try to "estimate" when the tightening schedule might end.
Had the 2020 crash not happened, this would be an average rate-hike schedule. It lasts 7 years.
This puts the end of the tightening schedule to the end of 2023.
So to add these together, we expect a QT environment until the end of 2023, and stable decrease of yield rates starting in 2024. Now I will try to make sense of them all, and try to find a probable behavior of SPX based on the yield hike-drop schedule. For simplicity, I pretend that the terminal rate is already here (or priced in). After all, the US10Y chart shows signs of peaking. We can conclude that even if this is not the terminal rate today, and based on the FED announcements, the market has already priced in the full extent of the tightening schedule.
I will return to the modified USOIL chart. We have seen that in reality, the price for oil (the main contributor to inflation) dropped a lot thanks to the tightening schedule. The USOIL/yields chart is like a time machine. It shows the final price equities/commodities will take when the dollar-repricing (rate hike) circles around the economy. We can conclude that the rate hike schedule was successful and will cool down inflation (inside the US)
With all of the above, it is safe to assume that:
Inflation has peaked (for now?).
The rate-hike schedule / QT environment will persist until the end of 2023.
From 2024 we can expect rates to drop.
By multiplying or dividing with yields, we can make conclusions for the reason why we were not in a recession this year. Since equities and yields are multiplied to calculate the true equity value, we don't have a clear indication on why the true value is increasing. Charting SPX/yields can help us understand "thanks to who is the true SPX chart increasing".
By analyzing them, we can get more indications on the future movement of SPX.
We assumed that yields have nearly peaked. They will remain constant or increase a little for the months to come.
Equities have no reason to continue a sell-off now that yields have almost peaked and the worst of inflation has passed. So we expect equities to increase compared to steady yields in the following months.
Taking all of that in account, we can end up with the following charts:
A probable scenario:
An improbable scenario:
More about the trends in the following idea:
Moral of the story, always have a plan B. Make sure not to waste it creating a bubble.
When inflation drops and equities bubble, there will be no reason for rates to increase. Just like in the 2018-2020 Recession, we will beg for the FED to drop rates to feed the bubble. When there is no more room for yields to drop, equities will. The equity market is infested with weapons of mass destruction (derivatives). It is bound that we see a burst of this long-term bubble.
Final question of the night: Why would anyone print an astronomical amount of money to make so little in the end?
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

PS. I've talked about how the 2018-2020 Recession no-one remembers is a micrography of the 2008-2009 Recession.
For reference, look at the rate-hike schedule, and notice the little "step" that appears in the end of the 2008 rate-drop schedule. The same appeared in the 2020 crash.
On the left, the modified-GFC is visually similar to the standard GFC chart (with and without yields transformation). On the right, the bubble SPX experienced in 2018-2020 now looks like an actual recession.
