BOND UPDATE : YESTERDAYS “SLIGHT” YIELD FALL HAS STARTED TO “ESTABLISH” SOME NEAR PERFECT REJECTION FORMATIONS ASSISTED BY THE 1994 RSI’S.

IF YIELDS FALL THEN THE CURVES WILL FLATTEN GIVEN THEY HAVE 2008 RSI DISLOCATIONS.

GET READY TO PARTY LIKE 1994! THIS IS A CRUCIAL MONTH WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER. WE HAVE SEEN YIELDS RISE NOW FOR MANY WEEKS BUT AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THE HISTORICAL-TECHNICAL PICTURE HIGHLIGHTS A SWATHE OF 1994 RSI EXTENSIONS, THUS THE BOND BOUNCE “IF” CONFIRMED WILL BE FASTER AND MORE SUSTAINED THAN PEOPLE EXPECT. 1994 RSI EXTENSIONS ARE VERY OBVIOUSLY EXCEPTIONAL!

ESSENTIALLY THESE TECHNICAL DISLOCATIONS ARE HISTORICALLY UNSUSTAINABLE.

US 30YR YIELDS HAVE SEVERAL WEEKS TEASING THE 200 PERIOD WEEKLY MOVING AVERAGE 2.4503.

US 10YR YIELD RSI DISLOCATION IS THE MOST SINCE “1994”!

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 : THIS IS A KEY MONTHLY CLOSE FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR STOCKS BELOW GIVEN THE EARLY BOUNCE HAS ABATED.

STOCKS : THIS IS A KEY MONTHLY CLOSE FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR STOCKS BELOW GIVEN THE EARLY BOUNCE HAS ABATED. IF THESE STOCKS CLOSE AT OR NEAR THE CURRENT LOWS MANY WILL FORM A VERY LONG TERM TOP TECHNICALLY AND CERTAINLY HISTORICALLY.

APPLE IS OF MAJOR CONCERN GIVEN IT CLEARLY FLAGGED A TOP 2 MONTHS AND IS CLOSE TO THIS MONTHS LOWS ALREADY!

THE SINGLE STOCKS ARE MORE OF A CONCERN AS THERE IS SO MUCH OF A MISREPRESENTATION IN SOME OF THE VALUATIONS.

"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.
