US10Y About to form a 1D Death Cross. How to trade it?The U.S. Government Bonds 10 YR Yield (US10Y) has gone a long way since our last 1D analysis 3 months ago (October 21 2023, see chart below), hitting all 3 Targets in the process:
This time however it is in a completely different situation as it may be rebounding since the Higher Low at the bottom of the long-term Channel Up on December 28, but is being rejected on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) since Friday. As a result by tomorrow it will complete a 1D Death Cross, which is technically a bearish pattern.
Last time it was formed however (May 04 2023), it did so exactly on a bottom and a very strong 6-month rally started. Also technically, every time it finished such a downtrend (blue ellipse), strong rallies above the 1D MA50 followed.
As a result our trading plan will be based on simple break-outs. As long as the price closes a 1D candle above the 1D MA50, and remains within the Channel Up, we will be bullish targeting the 5.000% Resistance. If however it breaks below Support 1, the loss will be minimal and we will reverse to a sell, targeting Support 2 at 3.300%.

US10Y
US 10Y TREASURY: the last call for 4.2%?Although the US equity market was strongly supported during the previous week, where one of the reasons was expectation on forthcoming rate cuts, still, the US 10Y Treasuries reacted in a bit different manner. Yields were testing the level of 4.2%, after successfully breaking the 4.0% level. As per CME's FedWatch tool, traders on the futures market have decreased their expectations for the rate cut in March this year. The percentage dropped from 71% to 53% within a week. This came after the jobless claims were released, which were at its lowest level since 2022. A too strong jobs market might be an indication of increased spending and in this sense, potential for the increased inflation, which might impact Fed's decision to postpone rate cuts for the second quarter of this year.
The level of 4.2% will be tested at the beginning of the week ahead. However, there is a relatively low probability that this level might be breached in a week ahead. In this sense, yields might look toward the 4.0% support line to test it once again.
🔁 S&P500 Index vs. Inflation. The Big, Big CyclesThe market 'bloodbath is likely to continue' with investors set to lose tens of trillions over next decade, "Dr. Doom" Nouriel Roubini says.
orld economies are facing a "megathreatened age," with stagflation set to become a core driver of major market headwinds, "Dr. Doom" Nouriel Roubini said in a Project Syndicate article published recently on Friday, November 24, 2023.
This will be reflected in both equity and fixed-income markets, as the downturn that investors suffered in 2022 becomes a long-term trend.
"This bloodbath is likely to continue," Roubini wrote.
Assuming inflation averages 5% instead of the Fed's 2% target, long-term bond yields would need to be close to 7.5% for a real return of 2.5%, he explained.
But if Treasury yields rise from about 4.5% to 7.5%, bond prices will crash by 30% and equities will be in a "serious bear market," he added
"Globally, losses for bondholders and equity investors alike could grow into the tens of trillions of dollars over the next decade," Roubini warned.
As to why inflation will stay high, he referenced a plethora of threats, ranging from an aging workforce to deglobalization, as well as increased government spending on areas such as war and climate adaptation.
But the situation is made worse by the fact that debt has boomed among both private and government borrowers, triggering a "debt trap" scenario for central banks. And efforts to reduce inflation through higher interest rates risk causing a recession among highly-leveraged borrowers, something governments want to avoid.
Faced with this, central banks could raise inflation targets above historical averages, as signaled by the fact that many are pausing rate hikes despite still too-high core inflation, Roubini said.
Other analysts also warn that the increase in public borrowing and spending will lead to eventual defaults, unless debt ratios are brought down. To deal with this situation, Roubini noted that some countries will simply allow higher inflation to erode nominal debt.
The main technical graph, the ratio of SP500 index SP:SPX and inflation FRED:CPIAUCSL says, in this time we still is in the bullish 9/18/27 yrs cycle, however over decade or so, Roubini can be clearly right with recent warnings.

US 10Y : "FED vs MARKETS" (...who will win?)Hello Traders!
The FED's monetary policy is not convincing the markets, but Powell seems very determined to meet his inflation targets. In near term, market seems to want to counter this hawkish monetary policy, but that could change going forward. In short term, yields remain at high levels and I don't exclude that this rally could continue for the last bullish impulse with wave 5 formation.
Does this bullish pattern meet economic fundamentals over the medium term? ...What is your opinion?

Long term yields have been running, US Dollar as wellGood Morning Update
Unless this reverses it looks like it is getting stronger.
Thought #interestrates were supposedly going down?
10Yr #yield looks very good & the 30 Yr has been pumping for a bit.
2Yr stopped falling, is it bottoming here?
US #Dollar pumping as well - TVC:DXY
We've been warning.......
US Dollar, US Bond Yields, USOIL, and Volatility are Set To RiseFor the few years there has been a close correlation between the US Dollar Index, US Treasury Yields, US Oil, and The Volatility Index, as of right now all are forming similar accumulation patterns, with the DXY, and Oil both sitting at the PCZ of a potential Bullish 5-0 at the 50% Retrace after breaking above its trend and the US10 Year yield sitting at the 61.8 retrace of a potential deeper Bullish 5-0 aligning with previous support/resistance. If these Bullish 5-0s play out, I would expect to see the DXY, Yields, and Oil make higher highs. Meanwhile, the VIX is sitting at the PCZ of a potential Bullish Deep Gartley on the Log scale chart and appears to be double bottoming locally with a fair bit of lower timeframe Bullish Divergence. If the former 3 assets go up in price, I would fully expect the VIX to follow and potentially hit levels above $50.00 on an extra note, the WTICOUSD is also sitting at the 200-week Simple Moving Average and is testing a long term trend line, so this gives Oil even more support at these levels.
US 10Y TREASURY: 4.0% testing is over?The US Treasuries ended the previous year with investors expectations on the forthcoming rate cuts, which was reflected in the Treasury yields which took the downtrend. This year, the 10Y US Treasury benchmark started by testing the $4.0% short resistance level, which ended in a short reversal further to the downside. During the previous week yields were moving within a relatively short range, between levels of 4.0% and 3.9%. Friday’s session ended with modestly lower grounds as investors were digesting the latest US inflation data released for December 2023.
As inflation is easing down further in the US, so will the investors' expectations that the Fed might cut rates sooner from the second half of this year. In this sense, the 10Y yields might test lower grounds, where 3.8% currently stands as a next target and support line in technical analysis which is pending testing.
US10Y: Bullish long term.The US10Y is being rejected on the 1D MA200 after a HL rebound at the bottom of the 1 year Channel Up. The 1D technical outlook turned bearish again (RSI = 42.660, MACD = -0.055, ADX = 36.524), same with the 1W timeframe (RSI = 43.184), so this is still an early buy opportunity for the long term. The 1D RSI patterns among the three bottoms so far are similar and one more pullback to the HL would be ideal for the most comfortable buy entry until the 1D MA50 is crossed. Our target is towards the 0.786 Fibonacci level (TP = 4.600%).

us10y and the secondary wave of inflation.before you read any further, read my post from april:
---
it has been awhile since i've given a public update on the us10y and my general theory about where i believe these rates are headed.
back in april of 2023, i gave an upside target of 5.9% for the us10y.
as of today, i'm raising the range for that upside target into the window between 6-9%, going into the end of 2024.
i'm aware that jpow has mentioned in the last few fed meetings that he has no intention of raising the rates any further, but i'm seeing a significant development on many of the charts this week which tells me otherwise. so i'm calling him out on his bluff.

✨❄️🌟 The Tutorial How-To Find a Magic on TradingViewFinancial markets just finished its memorial 2023.
Whatever the numbers at the “Closing bell”, on your monitors and in your portfolios, there is no doubt that 2023 year’s Santa Rally will go down in history as one of the most outstanding in many years.
In November and December, 2023 the U.S. stock market was rallying for the 9th consecutive week in a row.
This was the longest ever upside streak in SP:SPX over the past 20 years, since the fourth quarter of 2003.
Well.. just try to answer what happened with the market the past one time.
Happy New 2024 Year!
✨❄️🌟🎅🎊🌲💫⛄️🌠✨❄️🌟🎅🎊🌲💫⛄️🌠
US 10Y TREASURY: heading toward 3% in 2024The first half of the year 2023 was marked with continuation of Fed`s aggressive rate hike due to quantitative tightening in order to fight elevated inflation. During October last year the 10Y US Treasuries reached the highest yearly level of 5%. Considering that following months brought some relaxation in Fed`s rhetoric, the yields returned to the lower grounds. The pivotal point for yields was a moment when Fed officials stressed their projections that the reference rate as of the end of 2024 should reach 4.6%. This was a major note for markets, which started pricing Fed's rate cuts in the year ahead. During the Q3 2023 Treasury yields significantly eased, ending the year by testing the 4.0% level.
As per latest Fed`s forecasts, the inflation in the US should decrease in 2024, but will still not reach the targeted value of 2%, jobs markets should remain strong as well as economic output, and the Fed will correct its current interest rates to the downside. In economic theory this would imply that 10Y Treasury yields should follow the path and also decrease. However, the theory is one thing, and the reality is something completely different. Analysts are generally in agreement that yields should move between 3% and 4% in 2024, however, it will strongly depend on the Fed`s rhetoric and further monetary moves. What is currently certain is that the 4% level will be tested at the beginning of 2024, with some probability that the level of 3% might be reached as of the year-end.
Short term rates still look weak while long term look betterHAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
US Treasury markets are more than the combined bond markets of Germany, Japan, China, UK, France, and Italy = HUGE.
This is why US #Bond market is important to keep track of.
Short term #interestrates has been the weakest in a LONG TIME
1Yr & 2Yr charts look similar. US Debt 2ys & less have been weakening & look like they still want to weaken a bit more.
-------------------------------------------------
HOWEVER, long term debt looks to be solidifying a bit.
The 10 & 30Yr #Yield look identical & both look like they want to bounce here. How strong? We'll see. Took small position on Thurs.
This could also be more of a technical set up as both are at support levels, 30yr is at strong long term support.
TVC:TNX #bonds
10 & 30 Year yields are at decent to strong support levelsThe 10 year & 30 Yr #yield are at support levels.
Looking at Daily charts:
The longer term, 30Yr, looks better than TVC:TNX (10Yr)
Looking at Weekly charts:
The 10Yr support level looks strongest @ 3.3%.
All sorts of support levels and trendlines were broken recently.
The 30 Yr trendline is certainly broken & Strong Support is found here.
déjà vuCircle is the most perfect of shapes. It optimizes its area perfectly. An architectural marvel with no point of failure. And it is unique. All circles are similar to each other. Some small, other large. In the end identical.
Cycle is the Hellenic word of Circle.
I purposefully call it "Hellenic" instead of "Greek"
Market cycles are just that, cycles/circles. All of them are identical clones of the original.
Price is after all, nothing more than perfect fractals, the equation of which is, and will forever be, unknown to us.
FED is the all-powerful entity that gives birth and death to bull markets. Its only weapon is yield rates. Don't go against the FED.
Yield rates up = Bull Equity Market
Yield rates down = Bear Equity Market
Many think this is the other way around, that yield rates kill equity markets.
Why do rate hikes help equities though? Because Bonds. Bonds suffer during periods of rate hikes. And they soar when yield rates remain constant or fall.
The usual investment strategy of equities+bonds is creating a rapid shift in flow as we speak.
For a year, massive amounts of wealth was withdrawn from bonds, and invested into equities.
This trend is about to shift rapidly.
And the speed of such a shift is extreme.
While short-term rates are very fast moving, long-term yields represent a heavy market, and thus are more important in our analysis. I will ignore the FEDFUNDS rate because it represents a fraction of the weight of US10Y.
Long-term yields didn't change much in 2007, but the crash was devastating.
In 2018 the same happened, but faster in US10Y. The slope was much higher than in 2007. This resulted in a literal black swan event. The consequences of the 2020 crash are still unknown.
Moving to today, we witness an unparalleled change in yield rates. This has resulted in massive bond crashes as we have shown before, and will most certainly lead to incalculable effects in the equity market.
History has shown that the stronger the rate change, the harder the crash. This makes sense. The higher yield rates go, the greater the incentive to invest in bonds.
Be aware, the market is waiting for the FED to trigger the crash.
Make sure to pick the correct side when the cycle ends again.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

THREE WORDS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW — TNX GOES NUTS!Bank of America says the recession and credit crunch could lead to large corporate defaults.
Credit strategists at Bank of America note that the fallout from the recession and credit crunch could see $1 trillion in corporate debt eventually become insolvent.
This is largely due to the fact that banks have already begun to refuse lending conditions after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. US debt growth has also slowed in recent years, and a "full blown" recession has yet to be officially declared.
If a full-blown recession does not occur in the next year or two, the restart of the credit cycle will be delayed. For now, analysts still predict that a moderate/short recession is more likely than a full blown recession.
Markets are increasingly nervous about the prospect of a future downturn, with the New York Fed's Recession Probability Index projecting appr. 70 percent chance of a recession hitting by April 2024. The risk comes from the Fed's aggressive 21-fold increase in interest rates over the past 15 months to tame inflation.
The US Federal Reserve, having fired a lot of "HIKE RATE" ammos over the past two years. And certainly has fulfilled its goals.
In fact, in the second quarter of 2023, the rolling 12-month growth rate of the Consumer Price Index (April value = 4.9%) was below the Core CPI (April value = 5.5%).
In human words that means prices of food and energy are deflating year-over-year.
To some extent, the risk is also heightened by the recent banking turmoil, as lenders suffer losses on their "HELD-TO-MATURITY" (and in fact "READY-TO-SELL") portfolios of long-term corporate bonds and US Government bonds, as well as in due to a sharp outflow of deposits.
The technical picture in TVC:TNX says the key trend is still strong, thanks to tailwinds from the first quarter of 2022 and support of Weekly SMA(52).
The second half of 2023 is off to an interesting start.
High quality "AAA" 10-year Bond' yield is back to pain levels corresponding to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange last fall, as well as the collapse of regional and cryptocurrency banks as early as this spring, 2023 (like SVB, FRC and others).
At the same time, real (that is, minus inflation) rates are now certainly much higher, against each of those two marks, as inflation is down.
GOLD can be a defensive asset, as geopolitical risks still highCaught in the twin grip of elevated US yields and a stronger USD, Gold may be on the defensive over the near term unless geopolitical risks still escalate.
Escalating geopolitical and trade risks are playing an increasingly supportive role in Gold prices, engineering rallies that are likely to stay high in 2024.
Gold Price Clinging to Highs Under $2'000. The bias remains bullish despite minor retreats.
A new higher high may activate further growth. Only a valid breakdown below the pivot point opens the door for a corrective phase.
The gold price resumed its growth today, reaching the $1,990 level.
The bias is bullish despite minor downside corrections. OANDA:XAUUSD returned higher even though the Dollar Index rallied after the US Flash Services PMI and Flash Manufacturing PMI announced expansion.
Gold has taken its position as a safe haven value asset. Over the past several years Gold trades on positive path, where short-term average (1yr SMA) still above long-term average (5yrs SMA) for a 6th year in a row, since Q1'18.
The main technical graph says, that potentially technical figure known as "Reversed Head and Shoulders" is in progress, with further upside price action in a case of return back, above $2'000 per ounce.
The main graph is for iShares Gold ETF AMEX:IAU that seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of gold.
US 10Y TREASURY: testing 4.0%Cooling inflation data in the US were the ones which were supporting optimism with market participants, indicating a good time to start purchasing the US bonds. The PCE data were published on Friday, revealing that the index was increased by 0.1% in November. The PCE is one of the favorite Fed's inflation gauges, which indicated to markets that the Fed might start pivoting during Q1, as per market expectations since the beginning of December. For the markets, it was a clear entrance point, where 10Y Treasury yields reached lowest weekly level at 3.83%, while yields finished the week around 3.9%.
At this moment, the market is actually testing the 4.0% support line for the 10Y Treasury bonds. It was more than evident on charts that the reversal point in the bond market started in November this year, while current 4.0% might be seen as a short term stop for yields. There is no question about where the yields will go in the future, however, the market is currently pricing 4.6% anticipated interest rates at the end of the next year. Charts are showing that there is an open path for 3.6% level, however, this would be the case for the year ahead. During the last week of December, it should not be expected to make any significant moves toward either side. The yields will continue to oscillate around the 4.0% level.
The Great SufferingWe all remember The Great Depression. That is a lie.
Very few who live today lived when this monumental event occured.
After the Roaring '20s, a decade of parabolic stock market growth and explosive demand for stocks , the cash-out came. In the Depression, people were giving out stocks for free, burning the titles. Truly a desperate action by many. Demand for stocks has gone to zero.
Then, WWII came around, and demand for money was vital for survival.
In finance, supply and demand dictate everything.
Prices increase when demand increases, and they fall when demand diminishes.
Equities and Currencies are opposite powers, both vital to sustain the eternal cycle of markets.
The aftermath of the Great Depression is full of lessons.
Demand for stocks has never been so high as it was in the Roaring '20s.
This may have two explanations. Most of worlds' debt is denominated in Dollar. The function of the dollar changed substantially after the first QE experiment: Abandoning the Gold Standard.
A modern analogue of the mania that existed in 1920s is Bitcoin.
With that in mind, we may conclude the following for the relationship between Gold and Dollar.
Now, demand for Dollars is at an all-time high level.
Fiat currency is a proof of debt. To make some sense of the scale of demand for dollars, we can calculate the total debt. The World Economic Forum has posted the following article regarding world debt.
www.weforum.org
In short, Global Debt has surpassed 300 Trillion in 2023.
Much of that debt is dollar-denominated. US Debt alone has reached 33T at the time of writing.
The (im)possible serviceability of that scale of debt deserves a conversation on its own.
Many questions arise, more than the conclusions.
If BRICS is to create an alternative reserve currency to dollar, what effect will that have in the strength of the dollar? Some may believe that dollar strength will vanish if an alternative is born. After all, demand for it will surely decrease.
Well, there is a catch to all of that.
Dollar has been artificially weak so as weaker economies can afford to borrow it.
As we talked about, world debt has largely depended on dollars.
Some charts (even slightly wrong ones like the following one) may suggest that a Dollar Milkshake scenario is indeed probable. A simplistic PnF analysis of accumulation gives us the following targets for DXY. Don't forget that DXY is nowhere near its all-time high value. So there is the remote probability that this chart is true.
Until now, the focus of the FED was keeping dollar cheap to promote its' borrowing.
Now their stance has changed dramatically.
Yield rates are decisively high, and money supply is actually being burned.
Money supply is vanishing rapidly. This has given birth to a war, between demand for dollars and demand for other currencies. The FED is doing what it can to stop the mania for equities and crypto.
A pivot has been reached. For decades the benefit of the many (cheap debt) resulted in dollar taking the hit (dixie). With the US indirectly involved in war, it is time for The States to look at their survival....
...keeping the nation, the currency and the economy strong. Now that, is something the FED is unwilling to pivot upon. All charts suggest that the FED is performing actions that will strengthen the US. Inflation is being fought, unemployment avoided and equities being kept in stable levels.
Extra Chart:
If the role of the dollar changes once again, and global demand for it decreases substantially, what effect will that have for the relative demand for equities?
Thought Experiment:
Imagine if you will, a scenario where corporate investment utilizes Bitcoin ETFs.
What effect will that have in the performance of their equities as a result of improved investment strategies?
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

Galloping SPYThis chart is frightening. It suggests that SPY can become a modern-day example of Galloping Gertie, the famous Tacoma Narrows Bridge which collapsed from nothing more than wind.
I have said it before, 2022 was the year when an Equity Crash didn't actually happen, while we were all talking about it.
It is but a scratch. But with a bleeding chopped-off arm, how long can you last in war?
Instead of an equities being killed, a Bond Crash came, and nobody has talked about its ramifications.
This is the European Bond, one of the most stable, until 2021. Imagine what has happened in corporate bonds. We can never know for sure the sheer extent of the destruction...
In stock market, higher is not necessarily better. Higher is riskier.
SPY is considered to be diamonds. JUNK Bonds are, well, junk.
Imagine the balance shift when this trend breaks. And it very much it will.
It is statistics after all. The more times you get heads repeatedly, the rarer the event.
Think, for how long has SPY been diamond, and JNK junk?
With yield rates peaking problems may arise. The bond market will suddenly revive again.
As a byproduct, dollar will get a massive hit. Some charts suggests that its days are numbered.
This chart calculates dollar strength based on the value of its total supply. If a currency manages to get printed a lot and sustain high strength, then it must be good. Especially if it pays out good yield rates. Rate cuts in US isn't good news for Dixie...
Tread lightly, for you are dead. You just don't know it yet.
-Father Grigori
Final thought:
Rate cuts can be a double-edged sword.
If FED announces rate cuts, this gives two messages.
-- Financial strength has weakened and rate cuts must come to keep the economy afloat. Bad news can trigger Black Swans. The 2008 crisis followed after rate cuts, not rate hikes.
-- Rate cuts will trigger a massive flow of money into bonds, emptying the equity market.
Careful what you wish for, and what you prepare for.
US 10Y TREASURY: pricing rate cutsIt was final time for the Fed to align with the market. At the latest FOMC meeting, this was the case, considering that rhetoric about potential rate increases was not at all in the spotlight of Powell's speech, but clearly slowdown of inflation and that FOMC members are perceiving Fed`s rates at 4.6% as of the end of 2024. This was a clear signal for markets that rate cuts are coming during the course of the next year, with current anticipation that it could be already in March next year.
Although 10Y US Treasury yields started the week around 4.28%, they swiftly reverted toward the downside and lowest weekly level at 3.9%. The market is currently testing the $4.0% level, which might impose some volatility in the week ahead around this level. Still, looking at the larger picture, the yields would certainly further test lower levels, currently eyeing 3.8%.
$TLT Resistance at $100 PivotNASDAQ:TLT Resistance at $100 Pivot, Friday December 15, 2023 NY Fed President Williams stated on CNBC, "We aren't really talking about rate cuts right now." This seemed to conflict with Jerome Powell's post-meeting press conference. It does not matter what they say it will show up in the charts and our algorithms.
