Ustreasuries
Prediction of next financial downturnAccording to FedWatch Tool www.cmegroup.com there will be 2 or even 3 interest rate CUTS in late 2020.
It means the difference between US10-US02Y spread will move up - arrow on the plot. We can already see that values jumped to 1.63 and that will continue!
The vertical dashed lines indicate the official beginning of recessions from fred.stlouisfed.org
While the horizontal line (red/green) indicate 250 days moving average; Every time US10Y-US02Y crossed the 250d average the recession occurred but was not announced until a few months later!
It means interest cuts will follow during Presidential elections in the US and recession will not be announced until 2021!!!
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.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Look to be Topping OutWe have an Head and Shoulders pattern visible on the weekly and a tightening monetary policy from the US Federal Reserve; As we continue to tighten i expect that the rate of Inflation will go down and as the Rate of Inflation goes down so will the CPI and with that Treasury Inflation Protected Securities otherwise known as TIPS should lose the Value it's gained during the 2020-2022 Inflation Crisis and Long Term Treasuries should begin to Rise.
Bond Yields Soar as APAC Prices in CPI and Fed's ReactionBonds have gotten slammed as yields have soared, smashing through several levels below when we've reported last, as the APAC session prices in CPI data from Friday. We smashed expectations for inflation and investors are rushing to price in the Fed's reaction. Barclays thinks that they will raise rates by 75 bps in order to counter these soaring numbers. We sliced through the 117's with ease and are finally finding support at the base of the 116 handle. We have projected another level of support at 115'29 using inverse Fibonacci extension levels since we've simply run out of support levels for the US ten year. The Kovach OBV is abysmally bearish, however we do appear to be finally leveling off a bit, so perhaps this level will hold. If not, expect resistance from 116'20.
US10 YR Treasury ETF: Bullish Divergence at PCZ of Bullish BatThere is RSI Bullish Divergence at the PCZ of a Bullish Bat that's Visible on the Weekly Timeframe. This may also signal the beginning of a moderate pullback within the DXY as initially, I expect the DXY to show a Negative Correlation with Rising US BOND prices.
Trend Reversal in US 30 Years Bonds? Investment Opportunity?A longer term look at the US 30 Year Bonds reveals that the yields have broken to the upside of 2 standard deviation of the linear regression channel.
In a way bonds have already executed the FED rate hikes.
You can get around 3% yield on a US 30 year bond.
Question is if the bond market will track lower increasing yield rates even further.
Depending on your investment strategy this may be worth considering.
I am still puzzled why not more money is not pouring into USD stablecoins as one get get e.g. 15% yield with UST on Nexo.
That appears to be a no brainer, still there is some risk associated with the platform, but not too much more then with a bank.
In any case US bonds are attractive assuming the FED will eventually be forced to pause rate hikes.
Then a 3% yield with a potentially rising bond is a sweet deal.

Opportunity to buy US Treasuries and a failing fiat system?The 2/10 treasury yield spread is approaching an inversion.
All of the previous yield curve inversions were associated with catastrophic event many of which stemming out of a fiat monetary system that seems very obviously to be failing.
We are seeing the failing fiat monetary system if we look at the amount of money being created out of thin air by the FED (and ECB, Bank of England, Bank of Japan).
The FED is expected to raise interest rates at its May 3-4, 2022 meeting.
More rate hikes are expected to follow, with the goal of reducing inflation.
The markets anticipate that the federal funds rate will exceed 3% by early 2023.
The dollar is showing great strength across other leading currencies.
If you invest in treasury you can get a fair interest rate of 3% (and assuming with more rate hikes even more), as US treasuries bond are available at a great rebate.
Do consider the currency devaluation possible if your base living currency is not the USD.
Bond yields in the era of high inflationAs you can see on the main chart, 10y bond yields have broken above their downwards channel and are now back at their 2013-2018 highs. Based on technical analysis we don't have a confirmation that the trend has fully reversed until we get a close above 3.2%, but we are pretty close to breaking above that level too. Now we aren't only seeing the 10y yields rise, as all kinds of maturities are rising at the same time and are rising pretty fast. The trend is showing no signs of exhaustion and this could get pretty ugly for the world economy, as the Fed has barely raised rates so far and they are threatening to raise rates by 0.5% at every meeting in 2022.
Many analysts claim that the bond market is broken and that yields will rise even further, but are they correct? Well the truth is that the way bond market topped (yields bottomed) in March 2020 is definitely an indication that a bull market is over. Currently the market has broken below most major support lines and seems to be accelerating rather than decelerating, while the correction from the peak is indicating that the bull market is over, as during bull markets corrections tend to stay within a certain range, and this correction is way larger than any previous corrections.
At the same time the 2y year yields are above 2.5%, a level that they 'shouldn't' have broken if the bond bull was intact. The reason behind this is that usually 2y bond yields would never go above the peak of the Fed Funds Rate and during the last hiking cycle the FFR had peak at 2.5%. Currently the 2y yields look like the formed the perfect round bottom (bullish technical pattern) and have broken above their downwards channel and could also be headed higher in the medium to long term (an indication that the bond bull could be over).
However not everything is really bearish for bonds at the moment and there is some hope for the bull market, even if that means we only get a strong bounce before going lower. As the 10y and 30y yields haven't broken above their resistance levels yet, it might be a good time to start buying bonds. Why? Well as yields are at resistance, bonds are close to support. The actual bonds are so oversold, that the current move might be getting totally irrational. Yes inflation is going up, yes inflation could go higher and inflation expectations keep rising, but the rate of inflation could come down. Not only that, but the Fed is so trapped that everyone knows they can't really raise rates much more or sell bonds without breaking the market. Financial conditions have already tightened so much, that investors will eventually run to the safety of bonds which finally have a pretty attractive yield.
Of course my reasoning doesn't just rely on some random fundamental analysis, but also some technical factors. The first one has to do with how this break of the trendline could be a trap and this move is headed straight into a very important area in which there is strong support. On TLT there is a major gap at an area that was support, it was broken and then the market quickly closed back above it. That's the perfect place to go long. The second one has to do with the fact that the yield curve had inverted and has now un-inverted itself. Usually inversions happen close to the bottom of the bond market (peak in yields) and therefore this could be another useful signal that a bottom isn't far away. Again this doesn't mean that someone has to go long right now or go long big, just that maybe its time to cut down shorts and put on some small longs. Personally I like to move between being a bond bull or bear based on the data and not have dogmatic views about what will happen in the future.
Finally I'd like to talk a bit about junk bonds, which are at the same level they were when the Fed had raised rates at 2.5% and kept saying that they would keep hiking. With so much debt in the world, the Fed threatening to keep hiking rates and the global economy being in shambles due to Covid-19, aging demographics, supply chain issues, lockdowns in China, the Russia-Ukraine war and commodity shortages, it is hard for someone to really see how owning junk bonds is a good long term bet here. Shorting junk bonds is probably the best bet someone could take at this stage, if he/she believes that there is going to be a major collapse either in the stock market or the bond market.
What I find very interesting is how resilient American companies have proven to be, and how after so many major crashes since 2008, now junk bonds are rallying against treasuries. By looking at the HYG/TLT ratio, we can see how they have outperformed since the March 2020 crash, potentially due to how much the US government has support those companies and how much more the private sector has benefited from low rates and money printing compared to the public sector. By adding to the mix how strong stocks have been over the last 2 years despite all the negative events, we can make sense of why junk bonds are outperforming us treasuries. Maybe this is also a major sign that buying stocks is a much better idea in the long term than buying bonds, and that the stock bull market is still intact, but that's a topic which I will discuss in another idea.
In conclusion, the bond bull could be over. There are several signs indicating extreme weakness in bonds as inflation expectations keep rising and the Fed is unwilling to support the bond market. Yet we are at levels that not buying bonds seems like the wrong decision, even if buying them would only for a short time period only.
Bullish Gartley on the TLT Visible On Weekly TimeframeI'v been tacking this Gartley for a while now and eager to post it but opted to wait until it got closer to the PCZ before i posted and now we are pretty much here; This could signal the end of Rising Treasury Yields and the beginning of a Recovery Period within Equities and Securities. I will be taking profit on my Yearly TLT PUTs and buying some Yearly CALLs next week.
The US10 YR Yield is Getting Very Close to it's Projected TargetLast year I uploaded a series of charts tracking the US10 Year Yield from it's Bottom to where it is now the US10 Year Yield so far has reacted exactly how it was planned and it dragged the DXY up with it; However, the 10 Year Yield is now reaching very close towards it' target and from there we may see a Bearish Reaction that could eventually be followed up by a retrace back down to around the levels of 1.12% which may in essence also signal a reversal in the DXY and a short rally in the riskier assets.
I may also consider going in on the TLT soon too as that is also getting down near levels of projected interest.
US 10-Year Treasury Yield re-testing 52-week high breakout zoneUS 10-year yields are slamming back down into the 1.72 breakout zone going back to March of 2021. We're at a logical spot to bounce, but beware of a continued move lower just as the prevailing opinion is that interest rates must rise.
Losing 1.70 and holding below on a closing basis would be an important change of character.
US 10 Yr Treasury: Weekly Chart UpdateQuick Analysis on 10 Year Treasury Yield on a 1W Linear Chart.
1) The US 10 Year Treasury Yield has been respecting a falling channel for multiple decades going back to the 1980s.
2) It is currently headed to the top trendline of the channel with a possibility to break in the coming months.
3) The measured move of the falling channel would bring it back to Pre-2008 ranges.
4) This may fall in line with the US Dollar strengthening (in the idea section below).
5) If US 10 Year Treasury Yield goes lower, there is not much more room for it to get to 0.

Bonds Smash Lows After Inflation DataBonds took a sharp nose dive off increased Fed rate hike expectations and inflation. We smashed through our lowest levels of support and drove deeper into the 126 handle, before finally bottoming out at 125'17, a support level extrapolated from inverse Fibonacci levels, a tool we are relying on more and more, now that we have exhausted all of our lower technical levels. We are seeing a brief pivot off this level, and appear to be making a run for the 126's again. Currently we are meeting resistance at the psychological level of 126'00, with 126'02 providing resistance as confirmed by a red triangle on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has turned even more bearish with the massive selloff yesterday, but does appear to be leveling off with the support. If we are able to break into the 126's again, then 126'11 is sure to provide resistance. Our next target below is 125'07 if we selloff further.
US30YEARS-W1/D1-PULLBACK HOLD TOO !WEEKLY (W1)
Last week price action triggered three important information :
1) a pullback followed by a nice recovery
2) a weekly closing for the first time just above the clouds
but...
3) an hanging man pattern (usually "bearish"" ) and which should be validated or invalidated by the next weekly candle !
The 50 % Fibonacci retracement ƒ 2.0890 % has been filled.
For the upcoming week, watch the clouds area which was the former resistance and which became now the new support zone; have also a look
at the former downtrend line resistance, currently @ 2.00% ahead of the ongoing uptrend line support around 1.88 % which is also by the way
the weekly clouds bottom level !
On the upside, a successful capacity to hold above the weekly clouds would open the door for higher levels towards the 61.8% Fib ret @ 2.4140% which
was the former congestion top (2.41%-2.51%) reached in March 2021
DAILY (D1)
Nice pullback which hold and a long white candle (bullish engulfing pattern) triggered on last Friday with a closing level roughly at the top of the day; nevertheless, as for the 10 years,
there is also a small bearish divergence on the RSI and the price action over the coming session (s) should be monitored very closely to check the validation of invalidation of this important information.
As for the weekly picture, a daily closing below the 2.00 % area should also be seen as a warning signal for a potential trend reversal.
On the upside, a breakout, on a daily closing basis, of the 2.1770 %, (former high of october 8th 2021) would also confirm further upside in the cards towards the 61.8% Fib ret @ 2.41% mentioned in the weekly view.

US10YEARS -W1/D1 - PULLBACK HOLD !WEEKLY (W1)
Last week price action triggered a pullback towards the former downtrend line which hold and which
should now be seen as the new support level.
The 50% Fibonacci retracement @ 1.7930 % has been filled for a second time in a row; there is only a "little" interrogation
mark about RSI price action which is not showing a convergence but rather a "minor" bearish divergence which may trigger
further consolidation over the coming session (s).
In this weekly time frames, I would suggest to look at 2 important support levels which are the following :
S1 : 1.69 %
S2 : 1.55-1.50 %
On the upside, the door is open for the 61.8% Fib ret @ 2.1370 %
DAILY (D1)
Last Friday's price action showed a long white candle (bullish engulfing) which has been triggered by the support offered
by the Tenkan-Sen.
Therefore, the TS @ 1.71 % should be seen, on a daily basis closing, as the first significant support level , ahead of the ongoing uptrend
support line, currently @ 1.67% and which is also the junction with the former downtrend line resistance.
A daily closing below 1.65% should also be seen as the first warning signal of a reversal in this daily time frame.
Last but not least, a RSI bearish divergence took place in this time frame and price action over the upcoming daily session (s) will validate or invalidate this observation.
