How to Chart Fed LiquidityI'm going to be clearing out some of my half baked ideas.
I don't have a lot of time to write full ideas about them so enjoy the charts and feel free to ask any questions about them if you have any.
I'm going to integrate my TV charts into the website with a daily, weekly, monthly analysis.
website is in my TV profile or find me on twitter.

The Fed Liquidity used in Master of Markets Idea
What is Fed liquidity?
To determine Fed Liquidity you can simple use this ticker
FRED:RESPPANWW-FRED:RRPONTSYD-FRED:WDTGAL
The Total Assets of the Federal Reserve Balance sheet at 8.382 Trillion.
Subtract The Treasury General Account at 451 Billion
Then Subtract the 2.142T Overnight Reverse Repo
You get 5.789 Trillion in Net Liquidity which hasn't come down a heck of a lot since the last time I tallied up 5.9T
TREASURY YIELDS AND THE FED FUNDS RATEThis chart shows the effective federal funds rate in comparison to the 30 year and 3 month yield over the past five years. There are 5 interesting times to look at:
1. Late 2018 long term yields began to peak right before the fed stopped their hiking cycle. Yield curve began to flatten.
2. They then stayed put for about 6 months with the 3MY hovering right around the EFFR. Suddenly, the 3 month yield dips below the fed rate quickly - and they begin dropping their benchmark rate again .
3. Early 2020 the panic of the COVID-19 pandemic caused rates to nose dive and the fed to slash their rate all the way to 0% very quickly.
4. Fed did not raise rates for two years . In early 2022 they began to hike for the first time since 2018. This also coincides with the beginning of the Ukraine conflict.
5. Half a year of steady rate hikes makes it so the EFFR finally passes it's 2018 peak in mid 2022. The 30Y and 30M invert fairly soon after while the fed funds rate overtakes the 30Y yield.
Feel free to discuss what you think of these relations and what your predictions are for the future. In my opinion, the more the yield curve inverts the more problems there will be in the financial system. Eventually, term risk will not outweigh the high short-term yields especially once the benchmark rate gets over the inflation rate. I see the fed doing what they are best ate - acting too late.
Big investor confidence in BBB-rated corporate bondsA tight spread between BBB-rated corporate bonds and government bonds signifies that investors are demanding a lower premium to invest in BBB-rated corporate bonds relative to government bonds. it can be interpreted as a sign of bond investors confidence in the creditworthiness of BBB-rated corporate bonds. From past historical observation a tight spread tend to end badly for the BBB rated corporate bond investors since they have co-aligned with the onset of recessions in the US stock market and an increase of BBB-rated companies who default on their debt.
The spread can provide insight into the credit risk of BBB-rated corporate bonds relative to government bonds and can also indicate the demand for corporate debt by investors. Central banks may monitor this spread as part of their assessment of credit conditions in the economy and the potential risks to financial stability.
Bearish Markets for next 24 months.This idea is based on a recent Kitco News Interview with Harry Dent. If are not familiar with Harry, he is an Contrarian Investor and Author. I have respected Harry's opinion, and more times than not, he is on the money. Pun intended.
From this interview I put together a chart of the S&P 500 with an attempt to convey his forecasts.
He is forecasting an everything bubble burst, and it going to get ugly over the next 24 months. Even Gold wont be a safe haven.
Forecasting Bitcoin to hit a low of $3000. He suggest long term treasury bonds might be the only place to be when it gets ugly.
Buckle up kids, the long term BULL market has officially ended. Its Bear season now!
I put up my trusty fib overlay. If SP500 breaks that the typically strong 61.8 fib resistance, it will likely keeping falling to a full 100 or 110% retracement, based on my interpretation of Harrys Comments. We should begin to see a once in a generation buy zone in late 2024 or early 2025. Until then, go cash, BOND, or short the market. Harry Suggested Credit Investments, which I assume he means banking, credit card and credit industry stocks, and Bonds. He did specifically name 35 year Treasury bonds as an example.
The US economy has been artificially pumped up using the magic of printing currency, trillions of dollars in fact. Which means the dollar has been watered down significantly. History has shown many time over, that this strategy will always eventually fail, 100% of the time! It always ends badly with high inflation, supply issues, countries begin to become very polarized in political opinions, and no one is willing to meet in the middle. The US economy has not been that great, but using smoke and mirrors, and a running the printing presses non-stop, has made it seem otherwise. Eventually it all works it self back to the median. Time to let go of your bullish sentiment and rethink were all the markets and economies are now heading. Time to get ahead of this.
Will Jobs data have to suffer in order to get inflation down ?In the 80's it looks like it took very high interest rates to combat the high inflation in the 1980's. With the GOP looking into stopping Bidens spending habits we may possibly be ready for the unemployment to move up and our economy will do some suffering.
Still, Unemployment is low, and inflation is hot. If the jobs data stay sideways this holds the door open for a more hawkish fed.
The large difference in the 80's is we had Reagan in office, and he was not a senile wimp.
I think the Feds are about to step up their game. So get ready traders!
Quantitative Tightening. We Have A Long Way To Go.I have previously calculated that it would take the Fed's until 2031 to roll off all of their balance sheets. Based on projected trend, the M2 money supply will continue to go down to levels we haven't seen since 1985. By the time the job is done, there will be only 2.3T of USD in circulation, a decline of 88% in money supply.
Ladies and gentlemen. If this happens, the US dollar would become the best deflationarly asset in history. Even though the cryptomarket, stock market, real estates, bonds and other equities will be crushed into oblivion, you can appreciate that the dollar has redeemed its glory days. In 1985, a new car is around $10,000. A new house is around $82,000. A 2 L bottle of soda is less than a dollar. The great days are coming back! Sell everything and long USD for wealth and prosperity!

UK Inflation drop to 5 month low at 10.10% - Still crazy high!The UK inflation rate has dropped to a 5-month low of 10.1%.
This tells us that the peak inflation may be behind us.
The decrease in transport costs, as well as restaurants and hotels, were the main drivers of the lower inflation rate.
However, if we compare it to other developed nations like the US, France, and Germany - the UK's inflation rate is still quite a bit higher.
Now we need to see the Bank of England (BoE) to keep taking action to drop the inflation and interest rates.
I mean an inflation rate of 10% or higher is still crazy!
Elliott Wave Science Meets the Consumer Price IndexIt would be awesome if TradingView offered a candlestick chart for CPI but considering its only updated once per month, maybe the line graph/chart is the best option (not sure how that works). As for the data available to me, I've done a best effort markup using the science of Elliott Wave Theory. Considering the fluctuations seen on the M(onthly) chart, I believe its possible that CPI is sitting in the midst of a shallow Wave 4 correction. With this in mind, I find it possible that the number stretches into the low-mid 7.xx range between now and March. From there we may see a 2023 low within the 4.xx level.
I will share my thoughts here as I know there is much interest in "what will the CPI numbers be?"... Being that this CPI data is directly based on the actions of humans and the habits that we act on, it should work pretty well with Elliott Wave Theory. I will keep this post fluid and apply analytical updates as monthly results are publicly announced.
Remember these three important things: 1) trade the chart instead of the news and 2) stay safe /3) don't drown!
GDP to public debt is going higherI can see more financial easing coming. They have to. They broke something in 08 that can not be fixed. the can will be kicked down the road until the roast the dollar. Global depression coming, but before then, I expect a massive bull market. The global depression most likely wont come until late 2029-2032 time frame. Are these dates starting to make sense?
1907-bank failure
2007- bank failure
1919-spanish flu
2019- covid
1929- epic crash/ global depression
2029?????????????????????????????????????
BTC to 500k min until then, but do you sell then or hold after the world is in shambles??????? who knows>
scary times, lets make money until the chickens come home to roost tho
