The ONLY event to stop a RALLY now is a GEOPOLITICAL event e.g. related to the RUSSIAN INVASION of UKRAINE, or CHINA/TAIWAN situation worsens. 

 

Choppy, wild swings and insane volatility continue but the NET effect should be a RALLY to at least ES 3800. 

 

Failure to hold ES 3500 on a daily basis will lead to ES trading below 3300. I do not expect this in 2022 but highly probable in Q1 2023. 

 

Finished the week with a loss of 0.94%, much worse than it looked earlier in the week but disappointing AFTER  being up on the week at the end of that GREAT HISTORICAL REVERSAL ON THURSDAY.

 

Still puzzled by that big drop on FRIDAY....  

 

My FF is the FED will talk HAWKISHLY but act DOVISHLY during the next 2 to 3 months. Not a V-turn but maybe TWO 50bps rate hikes instead any 75...

Bearish POLL but by a smaller margin; quite frankly, the vast majority of retail traders are dizzy with the volatility and unsure of how it goes from here on...

CHINA desperate to get out of this funk, expect stimulus ... tons of it

62-38 BEARS. Had a BIG LOSING week in TLT CALLS, rolled some before the big drop but still lost almost 9% on this position.

Not unexpected and I intend to add more on any drop below last week's low

 

Your *bonds* view/positioning is (primary reason in brackets): [Bearish = rising yields] [Bullish = falling yields]
  •  
    Bullish (Fundamentals)
    24.6%
  •  
    Bullish (Technicals)
    13.5%
  •  
    Bearish (Fundamentals)
    51.4%
  •  
    Bearish (Technicals)
    10.5%

Yeah, the consensus is 75bps in November, even some demanding 100bps 

BUT remember NOVEMBER rate cut is weeks away....  many more economic reports from now until then

BIG SHORT USD/YEN position, stopped out of 3, added 5 more 

 

I like this trade, I also think the BOJ will wait until the spike up loses steam before intervening 

 

This has been quite resilient, still below zero, bullish case demands a rapid drop to below -200 and then reverse
