MARKET UPDATE : POST THE FED A MIXED PICTURE IN THE US BOND YIELDS BUT EUROPE IS KEEN TO CONTINUE THE YIELD HIGHER CALL.

MARKET UPDATE : POST THE FED A MIXED PICTURE IN THE US BOND YIELDS BUT EUROPE IS KEEN TO CONTINUE THE YIELD HIGHER CALL.

STOCKS HAVE ALL THE TECHNICAL REASONS TO BOUNCE BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PICTURE LOOKS HORRIFIC. SINGLE STOCKS REMAIN THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO A RALLY.

EQUITIES REMAIN WEAK IN EUROPE AND LETS SEE THE KNOCK ON EFFECT IN THE US.

IT WILL BE A CHOPPY RIDE TILL MONTH END BUT THE CLOSE COULD BE EXTREMLY CONCLUSIVE.

 

SINGLE STOCKS REMAIN IN A VERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL STATE! BUT A TESTING SET OF LONGTERM CLOSES OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

EQUITIES SEEM TO BE BASING NOW ESPECIALLY EUROPE WHICH HAS THROWN UP SOME 2008 RSI DISLOCATIONS.

***THE FED DID LITTLE TO THE EXISTING TRENDS IN PLAY. BONDS SEEM TO BE RESPONDING TO THEIR EXTENDED RSI’S ACROSS ALL DURATIONS SO FOR THE TIME BEING YIELDS WILL BOUNCE. THE BIG QUESTION IS COULD THIS BE THE YIELD LOW GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE BACK END DOWNSIDE YIELD CHART PIERCE.

IT IS HIGHLIGHTING A COMPLETE HALT TO THE YIELD SELL OFF, BUT THIIS DECISION ISNT GOING TO BE WITHOUT EMOTION GIVEN THE PRICE SWINGS NOR CONFIRMED TILL THE MONTHLY CLOSE IS IN. ***

US EQUITIES ARE A DIFFERENT STORY TO EUROPE GIVEN SO MANY MAJOR SINGLE STOCKS HAVE ONLY JUST TOPPED.

IN EUROPE THE CALL FOR A BOUNCE IS A LOT EASIER GIVEN THE RSI DISLOCATIONS BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR THE US INDICES, ESPECIALLY SOME MAJOR NAMES IN THE SINGLE STOCK MARKET.

TESLA, APPLE, INTEL ALL HAVE MONTHLY CHARTS EMBARKING ON A SIZEABLE BEAR MARKET.

MARKET UPDATE : STOCKS TO HOLD TODAY AND RECOVER INTO THE WEEKEND.

THE BOND MARKET UPSIDE PIERCES FROM MONDAY ARE GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO ERADICATE, THUS PRICES LOOK LIKE HEADING LOWER STILL.

EQUITIES DESPITE THEIR LOW RSI’S ARE STRUGGLING BUT THAT SAID GIVEN THE VOLUME EXPLOSION OF LATE SHOULD RALLY TODAY! MAYBE ONE MORE LURCH LOWER BEFORE RECOVERING INTO THE WEEKEND.

BONDS SEEM TO BE THE ONES RESPONDING TO THE EXTENDED RSI’S ACROSS ALL DURATIONS SO FOR THE TIME BEING YIELDS WILL BOUNCE, HOW HIGH REMAINS AN ISSUE GIVEN THE EARLY INJECTION OF VOLATILITY.

THIS VIRUS MIGHT BE UNDERCONTROL IN CHINA BUT THE ECONOMIC FALL OUT HAS YET TO BE POSTED!

  1. STOCKS : THEY ARE CLOSE TO HOLDING GIVEN THE RSI DISCLOCATIONS.

2.   BONDS : ALL DURATIONS OF RSI’S ARE NOW VERY DISLOCATED. THE ONLY PLACE TO WITNESS-SPOT A YIELD BOUNCE WILL BE IN THE “WHIPPY” BACK END.

MARKET UPDATE : BONDS FINALLY TOPPED BUT GIVEN THE RANGES POSTED IN 9 DAYS THIS MONTH IS GOING TO BE EMOTIONAL!

MARKET UPDATE : BONDS FINALLY TOPPED BUT GIVEN THE RANGES POSTED IN 9 DAYS THIS MONTH IS GOING TO BE EMOTIONAL!

AVOID OVER TRADING AS IT WILL BE LIKE WAVING A BASEBALL BAT IN CARNEGIE HALL HOPING TO HIT THE SIDES.

BONDS SEEM TO BE THE ONES RESPONDING TO THE EXTENDED RSI’S ACROSS ALL DURATIONS SO FOR THE TIME BEING YIELDS WILL BOUNCE, HOW HIGH REMAINS AN ISSUE GIVEN THE EARLY INJECTION OF VOLATILITY.

BIGGEST NIGGLE HERE IS THAT BONDS ARE IN A 2008 RSI POSITION WHILST STOCKS CERTAINLY ARE NOT, AM SURE THE FALLOUT OF THIS VIRUS ISNT WHOLLY REPRESENTED IN STOCKS.

BOND YIELDS HAVE REPLICATED THE 2011-2012 HISTORICAL MOVE BUT WE DONE ENOUGH? ONLY EQUITIES CAN ANSWER THAT AS MANY LONGTERM CHARTS HAVE ONLY JUST TOPPED.

THIS VIRUS MIGHT BE UNDERCONTROL IN CHINA BUT THE ECONOMIC FALL OUT HAS YET TO BE POSTED!

  1. STOCKS : THEY CONTINUE TO HEAD LOWER WITH LITTLE RSI DISCLOCATIONS COMPARED TO BONDS. THE CORONAVIRUS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABAITING.

2.   BONDS : ALL DURATIONS OF RSI’S ARE NOW VERY DISLOCATED. THE ONLY PLACE TO WITNESS-SPOT A YIELD BOUNCE WILL BE IN THE “WHIPPY” BACK END.

US CANADA 30YR : WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE SO TIME TO RISK A TRADE! SELL 30YR CANADA VS BUY 30YR US

US CANADA 30YR : WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE SO TIME TO RISK A TRADE!

** SELL 30YR CANADA VS BUY 30YR US **

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE LATEST BOND MOVES TO FLAG UP ANY MAJOR ANOMALIES AND THIS SEEMS ONE.

THIS IS A CHART REPRESENTATION SHOWING THE CANADA-US 30YR SPREAD IS AT RSI LEVELS LAST WITNESSED IN 2008. THIS TIES IN WELL WITH THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION MENTIONING YIELD RSI’S AT THIS LEVEL.

IT MUST BE WORTH A LOOK BUT THE ONLY EXCEPTION THIS TIME FOR ME IS THAT STOCKS HAVE ONLY JUST TOPPED -- THEY ARE YET DOWN TO THE END OF THEIR CYCLE -- UNLESS THE CYCLE DURATION HAS BEEN COMPRESSED.

ANY COMMENTS FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS WITH MYSELF OR CHRIS BRIGHTON. CERTAINLY CHRIS BRIGHTON FOR ANY EXECUTION.

CIX CODE USED (GCAN30YR Index - YIELD[GT30 Govt]) * 100

EQUITIES SPECIAL : EQUITIES ARE FAILING FAST BUT UNLIKE BOND YIELDS NONE HAVE GENERATED DISLOCATED RSI'S!

EQUITIES SPECIAL :  EQUITIES ARE FAILING FAST BUT UNLIKE BOND YIELDS NONE HAVE GENERATED DISLOCATED RSI'S!

UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS BOND PRESENTATION LITTERED WITH OVER STRETCHED RSI’S ACROSS MOST DURATIONS, EQUITIES (DESPITE THE DROP) HAVE LITTLE OR NO RSI DISLOCATION.

MANY ARE ONLY JUST FORMING A TOP-BEAR MARKET.

 

LETS SEE IF BOND YILEDS HOLD AS THIS “MAY” PROMPT STOCKS TO ABAIT BUT TECHNICALLY THEY ALL LOOK VERY OVERPRICED AS MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE.

MARKET UPDATE : ** MAIN FOCUS TODAY IS THE US BOND BACK END **

MARKET UPDATE : ** MAIN FOCUS TODAY IS THE US BOND BACK END **

THIS HAS TO STOP SOME DAY AND MAYBE TODAY, ONLY LONG END BONDS WILL LET US KNOW.

WE HAVE WITNESSED SOME VERY OVER EXTENDED OPENINGS. ALSO ALL DURATION OF CHARTS HAVE DISLOCATED RSI’S I.E MONTHLY, WEEKLY AND DAILY WHICH IS VERY RARE! THIS SHOULD PROMPT BOND LONGS TO REDUCE POSITIONING FURTHER.

BOND YIELDS HAVE REPLICATED THE 2011-2012 HISTORICAL MOVE BUT HAVE WE DONE ENOUGH? ONLY EQUITIES CAN ANSWER THAT, AS SO MANY LONGTERM CHARTS HAVE ONLY JUST TOPPED.

THIS VIRUS MIGHT BE UNDER CONTROL IN CHINA BUT THE ECONOMIC FALL OUT HAS YET TO BE POSTED!

STOCKS : THEY CONTINUE TO HEAD LOWER WITH LITTLE RSI DISCLOCATIONS COMPARED TO BONDS. THE CORONAVIRUS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABAITING.

2  BONDS : ALL DURATIONS OF RSI’S ARE NOW VERY DISLOCATED. THE ONLY PLACE TO WITNESS-SPOT A YIELD BOUNCE WILL BE IN THE “WHIPPY” BACK END.

QUICK UPDATE EQUITIES : THE CURRENT LOWS REMAIN PIVOTAL ESPECIALLY AS MANY ARE MADE UP OF 61.8% RETRACEMENTS AND THE EXCEPTION VOLUME AT THE LOWS.

QUICK UPDATE EQUITIES : THE CURRENT LOWS REMAIN PIVOTAL ESPECIALLY AS MANY ARE MADE UP OF 61.8% RETRACEMENTS AND THE EXCEPTION VOLUME AT THE LOWS.

THE VOLUME WILL EITHER FORM SUPPORT OR BECOME A VIABLE CAP TO A BIGGER NEGATIVE SENTIMENT.

CHARTWISE IT LOOKS LIKE TOMORROWS POST NON FARM CLOSE WILL BE THE DECIDING FACTOR AND NOT BEFORE, I.E. DON’T OVER TRADE DOWN HERE UNLESS WE HAVE A DEFINED BREAK GIVEN THE VOLUMES INVOLVED.
