BOND UPDATE : GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE RECENT YIELD DROP THEN A POWERFUL TREND IS IN PLAY. THE LATEST YIELD BOUNCE COULD BE OVER BEFORE IT STARTS AND WE RESUME THE YIELD MOVE LOWER.

ADDITIONALLY BOND YIELD DAILY RSI'S DON'T HAVE THE SAME DISCLOCATIONS AS THE CURVE THUS CAN MOVE LOWER WITH EASE.

NORMALLY I WOULD ALLOW MORE TIME FOR THE DAILY RSI TO DIFFUSE ITS DISLOCATION BUT THIS TIME WE ARE DEALING WITH A BIGGER MONTHLY 2008 STYLE ISSUE.

THE 30YR BOND YIELD STANDS OUT AS IT HAS HIT ITS 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE 1.9273 HOWEVER WE ARE SUB THE "CROSSING" 50-100 DAY MOVING AVERAGES (PAGE 13).

BOND YIELDS HAVE BOUNCED HOWEVER ALL MONTHLY RSI CHARTS CONTINUE TO CALL FOR "LOWER" YIELDS.

US BOND AND SWAP CURVES CONTINUE TO "SCREAM" FOR A MAJOR FLATTENING GIVEN THE HISTORICAL RSI DISLOCATION. THE OTHER POINTER IS THE 102030 SWAP CURVES CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE 20YR IS "OUT OF LINE" WITH THE WINGS!

STOCKS : WE HAVE SEEN MAJOR MARKET MOVES RELATING TO 1994,2000,2004, 2008 RSI DISLOCATIONS, THEN SURELY STOCKS MUST SUFFER AT SOME STAGE.

BITCION CONTINUES TO SUFFER ESPECIALLY GIVEN IT HAS JUST FAILED ITS 200 DAY MOVING AVERAGE 43311.34. B of A Fund Manager Survey Says `Long Bitcoin' Most Crowded Trade

APPLE IS OF MAJOR CONCERN GIVEN IT CLEARLY FLAGGED A TOP 2 MONTHS AND IS CLOSE TO THIS MONTHS LOWS ALREADY! TESLA HAS HELD BUT REMAINS IN TROUBLED WATERS.

"THE MOST WIDELY HELD STOCKS AT MUTUAL AND HEDGE FUNDS IN 4Q 2020 WAS MICROSOFT, AMAZON AND FACEBOOK". ALL OBVIOUSLY VERY OVER EXTENDED.

TESLA, AMAZON AND APPLE ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE FINANCIALS, ENERGYAND METALS SECTORS COMBINED.
