Housing market crashes when yield curve invertsEvery time the yield curve inverts (US10Y-US02Y), we see a recession as well as a decline in housing prices. The past few months has been the worse time to buy a house. In about a year from now, it might be a great time to buy a house. The market will fall due to lack of demand. High inflation + recession means less purchasing power and fewer home buyers.

Silver underlying support, wave count, and target of $34+Thanks for viewing,
Big fan of silver as a way to gain leverage over an increasing gold price. So where to we sit currently?
- After a huge (~+150%) run-up From March to mid 2020 (depending on the chart source - some charts (like this one put the local high at Feb '21) silver entered a period of mostly sideways consolidation.
- The goldsilver ratio has swung dramatically, from over 120:1 in March 2020 to a low of 62.5 in Feb '21 and since then has had a mild up-trend and now sits at around 72:1. Of late, silver has performed unfavourably versus gold.
- The US Fed rate (which is updated tomorrow) currently sits at 0.25% - unchanged since March '20 (investing dot com forecasts no change at that next meeting).
- US monthly Inflation numbers (depending on the source) indicates inflation on the rise (fred.stlouisfed.org) Which will mean that low-yielding long-term government debt will stay neutral or below inflation and possibly move to a even greater negative real yield (Presently 1.3% US10y yield less 5% (5% taken from investing dot com) inflation is presently a -3.7% real yield)). If you take the CPI numbers (fred.stlouisfed.org) the real yield is almost exactly ZERO - not negative, but not exactly attractive (and also not protective to the holders in the eventuality of continued rising inflation)
- US Federal debt (on balance sheet anyway - off balance (or "unfunded") sheet debt is around 5 times higher) rose 21% since the start of 2020. I don't think it is a controversial statement to say that this level of debt will be a significant future challenge to service unless interest rates stay depressed medium to long-term and the principal is repaid in significantly depreciated currency).
Ok, there is more, but the general case for silver remains intact and the outlook for gold and silver remains medium to long-term bullish. So, what is next?
I put a possible wave count for silver and some possible support levels. I especially pay attention to areas where a number of different areas of support converge; e.g. peak or trough support, fib extension / retracement levels, trend-line etc. So we seem to have one of those levels approaching with;
- The 0.382 for the full 2020 move seeming to provide strong support,
- Fib extensions almost perfectly hit the 1.618 before bouncing three times now,
- Lower trend-line support isn't too far below current prices at around 23 (this isn't a strong trend-line as there are only two points - but the larger price trend forms a generally symmetrical triangle with around 6 points of contact),
- Seemingly strong level support sits at 23.781 and is coincident with other smaller areas of support,
- I don't expect we will see prices below $24.
The only reason why I don't point to Elliot Wave as indicating a local bottom at the current swing low is that I see another small wave down to end the current correction.
Importantly, I am starting to see some RSI bullish divergence on the 4hrly - which is also evident on the daily chart. I definitely pay attention when the RSI starts to form higher lows while the price heads lower. It's a good time to think about getting in or out - or at least scaling in / out / taking profit. At a minimum it shows a slowing in the price momentum.
So, to continue my Memoirs :) I am not looking to the next Fed rate decision - unless they suddenly hike it to above 3% (which is basically impossible now if the US is ever to service is current (and fast expanding) public debt) - the long-term case for gold and silver remains in place. I posted yesterday that I can see, one of the possible future scenarios being $2140 gold in the near-term (an 18.5% rise) and silver could conservatively be expected to double that % rise which would put it around $34/oz.
Best of luck everyone, and protect those funds.
Apple downside indicatorsThanks for viewing,
Why would anyone be bearish on a stock that has gone up over 200% in the past 18 months? I'm just watching the chart.
If you look at the chart you see some concerning trends, mainly;
- Volume dropping off since March 2020 as the price increases meant the stock was less and less of a bargain.
- Some rather strong RSI bearish divergence - where every higher price highs are shown as lower highs on the RSI - which is at the least a sign of slowing momentum.
- Dividend return having significantly weakened in 2021.
- Higher inflation, which tends to drive investors to seek higher dividends or safe havens (since the US10 year isn't a safe haven anymore with an annual return of 1.44%. Given the CPI for October 2021 sits at 6.2%, that yields a *negative* 4.76% annual return that counts out treasuries as a safe haven). Apple has scope to raise its dividend as it currently only pays out around 25% of net profit as dividends - but right now the dividend is rather negative and should the price rises stall I would imagine we could start to see some strong selling pressure as investors see their unrealized gains melt away or leveraged traders / investors turn negative.
When I am watching the RSI I watch for 3 peaks of lower highs that then pushes the RSI below the 70 level. Once that happens, prices tend to weaken and I would expect an RSI of sub 40 to be next for a significant retracement. I don't have a target yet but After its 2000 peak it retraced 80%+ and ~60% during the 2008-9 financial crisis, so the downside is clearly there for anyone to see. Bearish RSI divergence was also evident in 1999-2000 and 2007-8.
I tend to agree with Michael Burry's general thesis that stocks that have priced in significant future growth will be hardest hit during periods of inflation.
Anyway, just putting it out there. I am not an investor and not shorting.
Look after those funds everyone
Opportunities aboundSo the 10Y Yield (USA) has a fib time zone that places a strong move in the afternoon of the 30th of this month. I feel like it goes without saying but this is when Q2 ends and if we have another quarter with a negative GDP - thanks to the braindead president's apocalyptic ineptitude - then we will enter a recession which for those unawares is just two quarters of negative GDP growth. This is also the date when the Personal Consumption Price Index data will drop which will give us a read on inflation. This particular index is the one that the FED favors for their inflation data. Needless to say this is going to be a huge huge move. I honestly cant imagine that the PCE is going to be in any way reassuring and I cant imagine that Q2 was profitable. The majority of rate hiking initiatives end in a recession and Powell was frankly far from reassuring when he said in the FOMC meeting that a softish landing is not guaranteed. Not a soft landing isn't guaranteed. A softISH. Without sounding like somebody's English teacher here reading a shit poem, this use of language shows where Powell - with his bedroom walls smothered with portraits of Paul Volcker - is at. He is clearly thinking - and has explicitly stated - that getting inflation under control is the top priority as much as this will be at the expense of the economy and the American people's purse which to the pessimist means purposefully inducing a recession. We should couple this with the fact that atm the downtrend in the SPX has been a pretty orderly sell off and hasn't really had that black candle to hell that we get from a major capitulation which is imo inevitable and the 30th would be absolutely perfect for that capitulation event so hold onto your hats folks and open shorts.
As for Bitcoin though we are at an interesting and slightly unnerving crossroads. BTC was created in the wake of the 2008 Financial Crisis and since then the economy has been relatively ok in the most part. So if BTC fails 20k and falls below, not only does it fall below the previous market high which will be unprecedented in over a decade of its existence but also it will show that its not above a recession and will put the nail in the coffin in the "store of value" and "digital gold" camp for the foreseeable future and instead BTC will have proven not to fulfil its goal of being a currency that's recession and inflation proof and it will prove that it is just a speculative asset and a fad that will fade into nonexistence and the study of economics and computer science classes decades from now (probably taught in Russian). If it wasn't for the fact that a recession is unprecedently for BTC and that one seems inevitable, then I would be very bullish on BTC rn but I just cant afford to be. I do hope however that this will actually be the spark that ignites bull run and a decoupling from the stock market. This seems like an obvious time to be accumulating gold, silver and rubles and opening big fat shorts on the SPX. But this will definitely be a big oppurtunity for those will the balls and the brains to seize it if for the bullish or the bearish (more likely the latter imo).
Bonds Rip!!Bonds have soared, blasting through resistance at 118'04 and crossing the vacuum zone to 119'01. We anticipated resistance at 118'04, but momentum came through and we have broken through 119'01, meeting resistance just above this level confirmed by a red triangle on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has picked up, and should momentum continue, we should be able to hit 119'23, the next level. If we retrace, watch the vacuum zone below to 118'04.
US Spread Yield vs SPXIf the US Treasury Spread Yield between 10 Year and 2 Year turns negative, SPX will fall AFTER the spread move to positive territory.
The spread is about to turn negative since the 10 year yield is about to break Resistance (from highest since Oct'18. The yield ended its Downtrend since middle of 2021. It's about to confirm Uptrend by breaking out Resistance at ~3%.
Once the yield confirm the Uptrend, I believe the spread will move into negative territory hence activating a Recession alert.
US 10 YEARS BOND SET TO TUMBLE?From ichimoku and macd perspective, us 10 years bond yield is set to tumble. Could this lead to reversal for usd currency? Is this time to rise for usd's rivals? This could be a sign for usd reversal after rising so far this year.
Just bear in mind always : what comes up will come down.
US10Y Testing the 1D MA50 againThe U.S. Government Bonds 10 YR Yield (US10Y) has been on a pull-back in the past 2 weeks and is close to testing the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) again. This held last time upon contact on May 26 and constitutes the first Support. We may have a Channel Up pattern in formation and the 1D MA50 sits almost exactly on its Higher Lows (bottom) trend-line. A 1D candle close below it, could open the way for the greater and much anticipated technically correction to the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) which is untouched since December 29 2021.
That also sits currently on the Higher Lows trend-line that started after the December 20 2021 Low. If the Channel Up is validated again though, there are currently higher probabilities to see the bullish trend extending back to the 3.500 Resistance and if the 3.0 Fibonacci extension on the Channel breaks, aim the 3.5 Fib ext level. Notice how well of a buy entry the 1D RSI's Higher Lows trend-line has been since July 16 2021.

Yields are pulling back but the move is likely corrective.US 10Y yields are pulling back after testing twice the 3.5% area but the move to the D/S is unfolding in a corrective manner for now (descending channel). 3% is the closest support area (also a psychological level) but a move towards 2.8% before resuming the upside is likely. We know it seems far but 4% is a level we expect the market to eventually hit while remaining in this bull run.
Bonds Edge HigherBonds have continued their rally, with ZN piercing through the 117's to hit our target at 118'04. A brief retracement has taken us back to 117'19, which was a previous target. The Kovach OBV has steadily risen, but has since leveled off a bit, which could suggest we are due for a retracement or some ranging. We should have support at 116'20 if we retrace further. If we are able to breakout, then there is a vacuum zone to 119'01, which is our next target.
XAUUSD and US10Y Comparison When we look at the correlation between Gold and US 10 Year Yields we easily can see an inverse correlation. When US10Y (Blue Line) increases Gold (Candles) decreases and vice versa. We can see these cycles in green lines. But every once in a while US10Y increases Gold only decreased till the EMA (White Lines) so we can easily say that EMA ($1811) is a big support for Gold.
Since FED saying that they going to increase interest rates more and more we can say that US10Y going to increase more. So that can make pressure on Gold for few months. Even though I don't expect it to fall to $1685 support because of the descriptions of FED, we can still consider that support just in case the possibility of FED to increase interest rates more than 50 pp.
BTC and US10Y / A negative correlation or a leading indicator ?We' re examining a correlation between BTC and US10Y
1. taking into account negative correlation between BTC and US10Y past 2 months, IF US10Y rejects at weekly resistance with doji candle, we'll see pump in BTC.
2. Considering that US10Y has broken multi months trendline and after retest will continue it's pump and it is a leading indictor ahead 1-2 months, we'll see BTC pump as well.
3. But if US10Y continues pump and negative correlation stays between them, after retest/short term BTC pump>retest 28K and maybe 35-36K / we'll see further drop in BTC

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
US10Y bounced off the 2018 high and fell back to the 50MAThis is temporary until we see some serious inflation abatement. This pull back is flight from equities driven bonds catch a bid. iF THE REAL economy doesn't improve soon then the bonds only support is flight from worse outcomes. Also the fed balance sheet run off will support yields in the medium term as it constitutes a supply increase. So if inflation persists and liquidity dries up from fed tightening yields may move sideways.....and break the older channel. Go gold. I was long TBT for quite a while but that play is uncertain here.
US 10Y Treasuries Short Term BearishCurrently watching the 10Y Treasury Yield to hit resistance and pull back.
3% should be a big resistance level for now.
Short term Fibonacci target of ~2.6%.
This will be bullish for equities.
The recent pivot low broke structure to the left, where the low in late April was broken.
This is now a bearish retracement towards the highs, and will be watching for fib levels or a double top as resistance.
The bigger picture monthly chart (below) shows a big supply zone resistance at 3%. This area of supply has been hit, and a further reaction to the downside expected.
Also, the yield is stretched away from the monthly 21ema, with the 21ema currently below the 200sma.
The stochastic momentum index (SMI) is also on overbought zone with bearish divergence.
#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.
US10Y Slowly upwards to the end of year, huge rejection after.The U.S. Government Bonds 10 YR Yield (US10Y) has been trading within a Bearish Megaphone with Higher Highs and Lower Lows since late 2013. The current 1W RSI pattern resembles that of the price Channel Up that in 1 year led to the most recent Higher High in 2018.
As a result, we expect a slow Channel Up towards the end of 2022/ early 2023, which will add to the current stock market uncertainty/ volatility, but then strong bearish reversal, if the Higher Highs trend-line/ top of the Megaphone holds. That can fuel a strong bullish reversal on the stock market (S&P500 index displayed in blue on this chart), as it happened in 2019.

More tightening till Interest Rates match 10Y Bond Yields (US)If history is any indicator we shouldn't expect any pivots in monetary policy until 10Y Bond Yields come down to Interest Rates or Interest Rates hike to the former's level.
For 10Y Bond Yields to come down we need to see lower inflation or inflationary pressure.
US10Y Aggressive correction possibleThe U.S. Government Bonds 10 YR Yield (US10Y) has been trading within a short-term Channel Down on the 1D time-frame with the 4H MA100 (red trend-line) as the Resistance and the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) as the Support. This is turning into a tight squeeze and whatever level breaks first, should give us the direction on the longer term.
A break below the 1D MA50 can see the price correct aggressively by filling the gaps on the lower MA levels, the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) and eventually the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). In that case the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level would be a fair target. This resembles so far the correction of April - July 2021, which bottomed below the 1D MA200.
On the other hand, I expect a bullish extension if the 3.205 High breaks towards the -0.236 Fib.
