NQ - ES YM RTY ZN TLT / Final Commentary - 10/7/2021 Macro Observations As the Global Economy continues to weaken, DEBT is beginning to weigh heavily on the same. Inflations have many Vectors - Monetary, Fiscal, and Confidence. Throughout the history of the United States, the "Debt Ceiling" has always been a Glass Roof. At present, decades of abuse since the 1980s have come home to roost. The result of multiple stimulus measures aimed at combating the pandemic's economic impact... Congress will run a budgetary shortfall this year equivalent to 13.4% of GDP or approximately $3.1 Trillion. It is axiomatic, Fiscal and Monetary Policies have failed. The crisis will continue to worsen over the coming years, 2022 it will reach its zenith and fail in the most unimaginable ways. Confidence is nearing all-time lows. A Panic is in the air within the "Investing Complex" - it has just begun for Retail Investors. Buy the Dip, the FED has a Put under the Equities Markets is slowly, ever so slowly giving way to the recognition, All is not at all well. The "Everything Must Go Sale" is gaining momentum. And by "everything" - we, indeed, mean everything for reasons which have been discussed repeatedly here within this sliver of TV. The Boat will tip, list, and capsize into 2022, for now, a healthy correction is ahead as indicated. Higher rates are axiomatic, the Federal Reserve will begin to move further into the Shadows with its Operations. Dark Pools will continue to position into the Sell. It won't be The End, it will, however, "feel" like it. There will be one last high to put bring an end to the Longest Bull Market in History. That will be THE END. For now, Buckle up, the Sportiness is ON. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NQ ES YM RTY ZN TLT The Nasdaq chart above illustrates the larger Daily Price Objective. How it gets there will be quick and dirty, a rather nasty affair as reality sets in, takes hold and dumps the sordid mess on its collective head. Whether or not there is a consolidation zone prior to the large DUMP, will depend upon Distribution patterns and the Budget news cycle as well as the middle of the UST Curve, namely the 10 Year Note. It is not a no-mans land, but the very inflection point on the Yield Curve. It is overdue, for reasons we have covered repeatedly. Over and over and over to the point, they no longer bare repeating. Simply review the past several months of commentary to EDU yourself. We have grown wary of rehashing our Thesis. It has been proven correct and is now in Trade. It takes time to form a top, it is a process until it becomes an event. The Technical Conditions have been growing increasingly weak for several months. 3x and 4x Divergences have been building on Larger timeframes and are now beginning to assert themselves. It will remain choppy to Down and as October unfolds, the larger Sell will arrive. The ES & YM will follow the NQ, the YM will remain the Laggard as will RTY until rotational failure will occur. It is best to observe the Weekly and Monthly TF's there for levels. We believe the 200SMAs, as well, the 400SMAs come into play in October, no later than November. One fairly significant cleansing of Speculative Juices among the Retail Investing Herd. ZN & TLT, again, for reasons we have covered repeatedly are in a confirmed SELL. We believe the 10 Year Note Yield will see new highs, the ROCs we noted are gaining immense traction. An explosive move higher is unfolding. 139s will print on TLT, ZN could dive well into the 120s. Debt Obligations will demand higher rates at a time when the DEBT edifice itself is going to be difficult to string together. Pushing on a string comes to mind. Conventional Correlations are DOA, insisting they are functioning is simply ignoring reality. Yesterday is today shall be tomorrow... best of luck to you in this Dogma. Lagarde and Powell both speak this morning, furthering the All Digital agenda. We will be absent for a number of trading Sessions as we relocate our arrangements over the coming days. Hopefully, to return no later than October 7th. Be well - HK

tlt \\ wave 5 swingmorning, tlt looks to have been in a prolonged triple 3 correction for this complex wave 4 triple 3's can be described as an area of re-accumulation by smart money, before the next mark up phase begins. after hitting the downside wave 4 algo target perfectly today, i do think the triple 3 has been completed. possible it hangs out around this range for a few more days to meet the fib-time ratio for this w4. ------- my upside target sits at $157, but there's a good posibility it goes higher than what i am current projecting here. stop loss below the 0.382 ps. the debt ceiling vote later today might play a big influence on where tlt goes next - so def make sure to keep a tight stop, just in case that vote ends up flopping.

TLT - Waiting on the RainIn the Kingdom of Wood Paneling TLT remains in a divdergent pattern as the Indicies continue their Downside Objectives. Bondies believe this is there Trump Card. Indy Sell, Bonds ON for Bid. Although this can true in the very short term, Wednesday will have a decidely different look and feel to it. It's good to see the usualy Baggies tossing their "Banter" into the discussion, it amounts to "hey bro, how much are you down now?" LOL, we're fine, thank you. Posiotnals are not for the weak, but those who have done the work and analysis, seeing the larger game afoot. We'll enjoy comparing notes soon enough. We're patient, you all... not so much, as evidenced by your incessant and pedantice need to "tout" your correctness... And why not, you're in the lead for now :) Adding 140-170 TLT Puts remains our trade plan as Bonds will join the downside events as things in the Kingdom of the Rain are not at all well imho. Stick around Fellas and keep loading up. We're looking for the 139s to be whacked after Reality sets itself in...

Everybody's Eyes on Fed's QE, is it inflationary?When looking on the weekly the Federal reserve's QE in the bond market to reduce interest rates has resulted in manic rallies in gold. So much that any hint of rising rates like in the summer this year when bonds sold off resulting in steep declines in gold. Smart money says QE off will be stagflationary or deflationary. This trend is apparent in all equities and has even spilled over into cryptocurrency markets. A giant liquidity pool that flows and sways with the news of Federal Reserve QE, even so much that banks rally regardless of interest rates. The only easy path for the Fed to do is keeping thinking about thinking about the thought of maybe something when their balls aren't stapled to the wall. TLDR: QE off, gold dumps. QE on, gold pumps.

Ominous signs from the Leading Indicators panelLooking across the panel of leading indicators, it is starting to look as if something ominous is almost completed in building up and about to pop... The JNK High Yield bond ETF is hitting a resistance; The IWM iShares Russell 2000 ETF is in a bind, unable to break out as MACD is crossing into bearish region; The TIPS Bond ETF is falling over; The VIX is about to burst in break out, MACD bullish divergence supporting; The DJ Trans had already brokedn down closing at a 6 month low, and MACD is already bearish; The Value Geometric line is following suit soon; The TLT bond ETF just attempted to break out, and should see another move upwards in the weeks coming; and The Copper futures prices is not sustaining any bullishness and about to breka down, MACD leading the way. Overall, the next two weeks will be volatile, and decisively down at some point. Heads up!

10Yr ZN - Wandering Bishop - ROCsEnraged Evergrande Investors weild Laterns and Pitchforks. The carnage for hostages provides a demonstration to our thesis for Banking and Bonds. Perhaps a soft default in October when the Government runs its tap dry temporarily. Further evidence, things are not well at all. The chart illustrates the First Accident 2020 Covid Event. The second, required YCC to brings circumstance out of control with 10 yr ROCs spiking at the fastest rate in History. Perhaps the 3rd time pushes on through into the Bond Kingdom Revolution. We shall see, we continue to build the Big Lick for Bonds.

TLT - Review for discussion10Yr Yields declined as international Capital Flows began demanding dollars out of the fear as to what is occurring outside the USSA. Yields will remain under suppression due to YCC Interventions. It is axiomatic the Trade is contrary to the Vast Herd of Bond Buyers, master of the obvious type statements withstanding, We are opposing the TLT trade for the Interediate durations. Demand for perceived "Safety" - the very last thing it actually is imho. Europe, as we have indicated for months now, remains a basket case. For as bad as it is here, it's worse there. However, this is short term in its duration as the USSA is losing favor as a "Partner" of actual substance. The Long Con remains in trade. It will get a lot worse outside the USA which remains bullish on capital inflows. Simply watch France as they are teetering on another Bastille Moment. That said, the objective of the Level Pullers is not friendly. Sending hoards of cash into the Fed Reverse Repurchase Market - reduces the cash in the Banks. This ONLY accelerates the liquidity crisis, which, in the very short term can have an important effect on Yields. It is temporary. Christine LaGarde, has been inferring that a policy shift is taking place which will be a transition in 2022. Stimulus policies have totally failed and the negative interest rates have destroyed the European Bond Market. Inflows to USTs is axiomatic for the EU, for the UK... not so much as they have shown a clear and present desire to position to China's Bond Market... slowly. The ECB's ONLY tool remaining is the rather hurried rush to digital currency ASAP for Europe is out of time. It will not go over well and lead to immense Social unrest. France, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy won't simply roll-over. 80 Central Banks around the Globe desire digital currencies according Lagarde - "We think that it's a duty of us to actually have available digital currencies that would operate to the benefit of consumers." There is nothing the governments ever do that is for the benefit of consumer citizens unless it benefits the Government 1st. LaGarde intends to end Private Cryptocurrencies. In her own words - "funny business" in Crypto needs to end, once and for all. They will be regulated out of business... plan for it. When you replace "Currency" which comes into existence from DEBT, Governments no longer need DEBT MARKETS aka Bonds. Currency no longer exists, Unlimited Pokemon Cards do however. The ability of the ECB to continue buying endless debt from its member states is coming to an end. Pressures to break up the EU is growing and this above all is driving the ECB to take drastic actions. They will cancel the Euro ahead of schedule, sending the FX Markets into a tailspin. UST Bond HODLers somehow believe this works well for them... it can in the very short term. Ultimately, the Tide begins to approach our shores as Confidence itself evaporates. The game of borrowing forever with no intention of paying anything back is coming to an end and with it the US Bond Markets. What will be the Value of your Bonds? They will become "Perpetual" - you will be allowed, permitted and forced to accept a coupon with no return of principal, that will be in Lock Down for good. BY Q3 2022, the axiom will be in full swing. This is why the Equities Complex will begin a very rapid ascent as Bonds and Real Estate Fail. You can't keep a good bunch of Degenerates DOWN when the TINA's are Nil. Preteding Bonds are winning against Real Inflation is a large mistake imho, as in no way are the underlying REAL VALUES keeping pace. The USSA is heading into Chapter 11 and with it, it's primary feeder lot of Debt. We continue to position within Options from 140 - 170. Trading the TLT into Sells has repeatedly worked on 7 seperate occasions, it has more than offset Put losses. Today is simply another example of 151s failure to low 150s, yesterday it was the 151.50s failure to lows. It is clockwork trading, simple, direct and to the point. Pandering to losses seems to be en vougue for the Bond HODLers, a defense mechanism for the Herd. All's fair here, no issues there. We will simply continue constructing a large SELL Position into the wreckage. It will become 12.5% of Capital allocation,it is presently 3.9%. No Margin required as that sits with the Buyers.

TLT - 150 Puts - ZN 133.125 TLT continues to Wedge out into the Break Down. Althought the Yield Curve appears to be heading into an inversion into 2022, the Long End of the Curve remains in peril... Countdown to Depression is ticking into Q2-Q3 2022. Fed language and statements are beginning to shift into 2022 indicating they are off balance NOW. Volaility will increase well ahead of the Fed's change in stance. We anticipate a pullback in the VIX Curve into Settlement providing cover for today's Squeeze in the Index Instruments. AAPL and Tesla have been used to provide adjustments to both the ES and NQ, These will be transitory... as Q3 EPS warnigns need a distraction... China incidently decided on MOnday - "there is too much completition in EV's within China" Adios Tesla, Giga Berlin and Texas will have to manage... China closing the doors on Tesla. Confidence will have the intended influence on the Bond Markets, for now it's game on into completion of the Wedge in 10Yr Yields. Risk off dead ahead. There is no recovery in the Economy, rather there are increasingly dangerous issues which will begin to manifest shortly. We will be continuuing to Build Out a Large Put Position in TSLA, APPL, ARKK, AMC. Crypto Scam LiteCoin took the short WalMArt CON to undermine confidence in the space. A 20% decline in LC took chasers downtown in mere seconds. Crimnal Fraud in the Space is an operating axiom.

$TLT: Make bonds great again?I'm concerned of broad risk off possibilities between now and EOY, as potential tax increases might impact the equity markets, going into effect from 2022 onwards...I was already concerned due to long term technical charts suggesting this year we would likely get the end of the bullish trend we had in equities since the 2009 bottom. This week's turn of events has increased my fear levels substantially. I'm already long bonds and commodities via option positions as a hedge for my equities portfolio, but I think it is time to stay alert and not be inflexible and attempt to bag hodl ANYTHING forever. There's a long list of bearish factors at play now, and it keeps getting worse the further we go into 2021, but stock market indices have gone vertical since last year so far. I will try to time the top in individual stocks I hold, and trade with a mid to short term focus, so as not to take on a big drawdown by the time I can confirm a long term top in equities is happening. At some point this year, indices will stop going up, form a daily down trend and drop some 10-30%, then perhaps rebound and form a multi month or multi week consolidation before falling further, that will be the beginning of the end, and I don't want to react too late. Biden is doing all he can to derail the long term bullish trend in US equities here. It's a sight to behold. Props to him, if that was his goal. The last time we had yearly trends expiring in equities it was the year 2000, and a decade long sideways/bear market ensued where hodlers didn't have an easy time surviving. You know what asset class did well during the crashes? Cash and cash alternatives...ergo, bonds. Just some food for thought. Cheers, Ivan Labrie.

We Sold to Open TLT this morning, taking our First Position at our Target, with further Sells to 150s Set. Out dated Maturities, we have been suggesting for the past month are due for a large correction in Yields. Day to day noise is just that... Noise. Bond HODLers are convinced they have it figured out. They clearly do not or they would not be supporting an enterprise steeped in criminal activity. 3 Fed Members have now been admitted to Front Running Markets for their own Benefit.

10 Year Treasury Note - ROC's Building againRates of Change for Yields will face increasing Competition in the coming weeks. We anticipate further to quickly be met with YCC. Yields have been mixed at lows, attempting to Hang their Man. Central Banks receive their orders on High. Governments can no longer borrow to fund their annual spending. Digital "Currency" proposals from the WEF via Lagarde at the IMF, Echoed @ the BIS and then it's stepchild the ECB. The Debt can of worms can no longer be kicked down the road. Europe is in the final stages of collapsing under the Existing System. This will spread Cajun style, like a swamp Gator that eats everything that moves in the DEBT SWAMP. Rumors (Credible) of the Federal Reserve accepting Direct Deposits is halting the Primary Dealer network of Banks (First Abusers) who, via Trading Arms and partners such as BlackRock and VanGuard and many other smaller boutiques such as Gelber - have been able to manipulate ALL Markets without consequence... The Federal Government required them to sell their DEBT. This effort is very clearly coming to a decided end. Globally, the entire Financial System and edifice is being dumped on its Head.
