THE COMING FINANCIAL “ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE”

 

“SHTF in exactly 4 weeks from now!”

First some perspective, and the falling dominoes that bring us to this point in

history … this coming “apocalypse” starts almost 60 years ago … in June 1963,

then Preezy JFK signs an EO [executive order] to basically end the FED’s ability

to print money and lend it to the U.S. Government, in effect directing the U.S.

Treasury to issue $2 & $5 “silver certificates”, with introduction of $10 & $20

coming later … a few months later JFK is assassinated … LBJ, the most corrupt

POL in modern history, escalates the Vietnam War, starts QE to pay for it, and

foreign central banks start showing up at the “gold window” and wanting to

exchange depreciating dollars for gold bullion at $35 / OZ. … 1971 sees Nixon

repeal the gold standard, and here we go … 1975 sees gold & silver futures

contracts born, and so the corruption begins in earnest with paper gold & silver.


Fast forward to today, and nobody has any idea if the U.S. has the gold they say

they do … ditto for other central banks as well … meanwhile China, Russia, India,

Poland, and many others are stockpiling physical gold at a record clip … and

who knows the financial “scumbaggery” and total chicanery large banks are

responsible for better than the BIS [Bank of International Settlements], the

central banks “central bank” … and with the world coming within a literal “hair of

the dog” end to the financial system in 2008, these guys know corruption when

they see it, and know since ‘08 banks are not in good shape financially … and

so in 2014, the Basel 3 proposals by the BIS, the regulators regulator, were begun

to “root out” systemic risk” in banks balance sheets, to avoid the almost world

disaster of 2008.


So Basel 3 isn’t something that started a few months ago, it’s been in the works

for 7 years! … and quite frankly, after wading through it, my take is it does away

with bank trading desks in gold, silver, and commodities cuz they are too risky

to the “system”! … and that means no more “Comex Con Game”, no more LBMA,

and it’s gonna change the landscape of trading in EXACTLY 4 WEEKS TIME!

… and while the cynic in me says “I’ll believe it when I see it”, there simply is NO

TIME LEFT ON THE CLOCK FOR CHANGES TO BE MADE, and it’s gonna go into

effect on July 1, 2021 … and every scumbag bank LP that makes markets in

commodities like gold, silver, crude oil, etc., is gonna be forced to SHUT DOWN

OPERATIONS OR FACE SEVERE FINANCIAL PENALTIES from regulators … and

I don’t think the banksta’s are gonna be willing to pay that … “where the hell does

that leave markets”? … trust me, this isn’t simply a rhetorical question! … and

what does this do to COMEX, where the major players are about to close shop

forever?


One thing I think is very clear … gold & silver are about to explode into

“volatility hyperspace”, and without bank selling cuz of the FREE money from

the FED via CNTRL-P, the only sellers will be mines and/or producers of gold

selling future production … weigh that against spec demand, jewelry demand,

along with China & Russia buying, and you end up with a formula that makes

Bitcoin’s rise look like a blimp on the chart! … sure, some dumb ass central

banks [hello FED?] could threaten to sell reserves into the market, but 1) do they

even have the gold anymore to sell?, and 2) even if they got it, when it’s gone

you’re screwed! … so now, when there ain’t any more bullets in the gun,

whaddaya do?


Both the FED & ECB are trapped … exploding balance sheets filled with shit

nobody but them would ever buy and call an “asset” … with the gold they SAY

THEY OWN, what if you woke up one morning in early July 2021, and gold is at

$50,000 per OZ.? … preposterous you say? … that move would “balance the

books” and pay off the national debts in one fell swoop! … this is as much about

SAVING THE ECB, AS IT IS BAILING OUT THE MORONS AT THE FED! … back to

square one, here come the digital central bank currencies backed by gold, and

the scumbag banks like JPM, Vampire Squid, and others find themselves in a

world where nobody but nobody needs them any longer for anything … MY

ADVICE TO JPM & SQUID MANAGEMENT: “learn to fucking code scumbags”!


And while some may think I’m dreaming, the probability of this ain’t ZERO either!

… the world is a very wicked place, and in it wicked men & women do things to

survive and move on to the next scam … friends one day, bitter enemies the next,

and if you have to go for me to survive, so be it without hesitation … cuz bottom

line is this … no central banker wants to be there when the system defaults and

goes “TILT”, cuz they understand who will get the blame and maybe, just maybe,

heads get separated from shoulders in the process, either metaphorically or

literally, cuz to them what’s the difference? … SADDLE UP, THIS RIDE IS ABOUT

TO GET REALLY INTERESTING!


The sun is coming up in New York, and things are so quiet it’s scary … I mean,

WTF is this? … trading paralysis brought on by the above? … even crypto

crawling, with the worst overnight trading action since before the big run up last

Fall … is everybody scared to do anything? … it sure as hell seems like it! … and

I can’t imagine this is very healthy for “Stonks” at these nose bleed levels either,

cuz if QE gets cut, which it most assuredly will be sooner rather than later, there’s

no “funny money” left for “Stonks”, and oh won’t that be interesting as well!


Oh nice, after 14+ hours of complete bullshit, gold goes from a new low of the day

to a new high for the day within about 30 minutes or so … another “speed of light

… crickets” experience I guess we should get used to … what utter horseshit,

and I expect it’s about to get much worse in exactly 4 weeks time! … is trading

gonna get “redefined” in 4 weeks, to be more like crypto in a FREE environment?

… and if what for the goose is good for the gander, how can the FED continue with

its “Plunge Protection Team” [PPT] and the manipulative bullshit that goes on

daily in “Stock Bellies”, while the super regulator says it’s all too risky? … the

world is about to dive into a very big mound of dinosaur shit, which I’m not sure

it can ever escape!


And as we work towards the NYSE open, here we are again with the “Wall Street

Grifters” getting ready to screw the Chipmunks at the open … these Dopes are

easier to play than the Chuckleheads in the Asian session, where every single

frickin’ day their “first 5 minute buy orders” get raped by the virus scum sitting

on Wall Street bank desks, cuz the banks tell their traders when they see the

orders come in to buy premarket … they go buy futures in anticipation of this,

and Presto!, filled at the high … and while you might think it’s a slam dunk to

make money on this, just look at yesterday’s open and imagine your fill when

the “red” showed up right after 09:30:00 … being retail spec, you ain’t gonna like

what happens next.


The only plausible explanation for markets’ complete lackluster apathy at the

moment, is that we’re smack dab in the middle of the eye of a CAT 6 Hurricane

… Call it “Hurricane Basel” … I don’t see how things can remain “status quo”

going forward … right now, though, it’s a far cry from that as nothing is moving

anywhere as we approach NOON in New York.


This isn’t a rhetorical question … have you ever seen deader markets with so

much shit being stirred in the pot that should create MOAR volatility not less?

… I’ve seen Christmas Eve half days more active than this … here in the New

York afternoon, gold with a whopping $13 & change range, and the DOW30 just

barely 200 index points … there’s no way to sugarcoat this, it’s a disgusting pile

of shit, thank you very much manipulators!


Only one algorithm trade signal in gold today … TURNKEY PAMM UP SLIGHTLY

LESS THAN 0.1%


It was a good signal, but with VIX scraping the bottom of the ocean, the market

has got nowhere to go unless VIX picks up and/or range expands … and neither

happens, so it is what it is … good grief, gold had bigger ranges 30 years ago

when it was at $500 … just a pitiful excuse for a market, right along with silver

that is worse than gold in terms of trading action … can’t wait to see what

happens to silver when July 1 comes along, and the bullion banks go

“buh bye”!


Over in crypto land, no trades today for “The Syndicate”.


Just when you thought the alt-coins couldn’t get any worse, along comes today

and the range in TRX is LESS THAN 100 TICKS, and the range in ONT is about

650 ticks … sorry, not touching this shit when it’s as dead as a doorstop, cuz it’s

just a recipe for losing money, and I have no intention of giving one frickin’

penny back to these clowns … watching BTC get slaughtered was bad enough,

but losing money in chop isn’t something I do … I simply wait it out.


Can’t take another second of this crap or my head blows … outta here,

until tomorrow … “the future’s so “GOLD”-en bright I need sunglasses”! ðŸ˜Ž

… Onward & Upward!!

SUNDAY UPDATE: BANKS ARE SCREWED IN GOLD!

“Government + FED + Scumbag Bullion Banks! … Got gold!?”

A great article on ZH on Saturday morning, where to nobody’s surprise, we learn
just how much the bullion banks are short gold … these horses ain’t going back
into the barn … the link directly below.


Read the article if you can, but the bottom line is simple … bullion banks are
short gold from much lower prices to the tune of about $53 BILLION Dollars in
the hole … and I’ve been saying for a very long time, that they’re nuts to partner
with government [FED] to suppress the gold price, but dangle free money in front
of a Wall Street scumbag banker, and it’s inevitable they will make very poor
decisions … “so, when can we expect bullion bank failures or bailouts? … you
thought the Palladium run last year was explosive? … you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

Today’s blog update sees some changes [yes, unfortunately yet again in this sea
of shifting sand dunes of brokerage house + LP bank stupidity] … gone are the
“Stock Bellies” AND XAUUSD [spot gold] rejoins the mix! … over these last
weeks, I’ve been working on creating a measurement of IVIX [intraday volatility],
that can create an index comparison between markets … today sees me roll this
out for GBPUSD & XAUUSD.

What makes me want to trade gold again are 2 important criteria taken together
… 1) I can accurately track bullion bank PLUS HFT positioning versus the spec
community, and 2) the bullion banks PLUS the FED PLUS the BIS [Bank of
International settlements] have lost the battle to control gold via the “Rally
Protection Team” [RPT] and the gold market today is “FREER” than it has been in
years, maybe even decades … what started on March 23, 2020 with the bid/offer
spread in XAUUSD going insane, is now down to levels that are supported by
HFT’s and NOT THE SCUMBAG BULLION BANKS! … it’s no secret, that the
NO KYC offshore brokerage houses that trade XAUUSD have better spreads, cuz
they aren’t using the bullion banks, they’re using HFT’s like Citadel, Virtu, and/or
Blackrock, that not only have more capital than the banks, but make better &
faster markets than the banks … in other words, the bullion banks are screwed!
… and the dirty little secret is, the HFT’s don’t give 2 shits about what the FED or
the BIS wants, they are strictly front running futures and judging order flow to
make pennies per OZ. on millions of ounces of trades … and what this means is
bigger volumes, better ranges, and much more opportunity.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the average XAUUSD spread is “ideal” … it’s
not … but given the price level of gold, increased ranges & new all time record
highs in price versus the dollar, plus greater worldwide participation, where it’s
at now around $0.35 cents, IMHO it’s fairly valued … directly below, gold’s 20 Day
Range MA for the current week.

XAUUSD

click on ANY chart to enlarge

As you can clearly see, ranges have expanded as gold broke through all time
highs and price is above $2000 per OZ … directly below, the 20 Day Range MA
for GBPUSD … “where’s the beef”? … for a group of major FX pairs that
supposedly saw a 40 year record run against the U.S. Dollar, you wouldn't know
it looking at this chart.

GBPUSD


Ok, now let’s look at my NEW "IVIX INDEX", that measures IVIX of one market
against another … I’m not gonna reveal the guts of how it’s done, cuz I don’t
want others knowing in real time what’s going on during a trading day
… however, it’s still extremely instructive to chart its DAILY progression and
extrapolate around the edges for some interesting & useful trading information
on a weekly basis … below the comparison between GBPUSD & XAUUSD
starting 6/29/2020 for each trading day … so, there’s about 5 weeks of info here.


As I publish this IVIX chart every Sunday for the previous week, keep in mind
that XAUUSD needs to be TWICE THE LEVEL ON THE INDEX TO BE EQUAL TO
GBPUSD … in other words, by way of example, if gold = 60 and GBPUSD = 30,
they are equal, meaning trading either gives no advantage over the other
… looking at the current readings, gold = 167 and Cable = 36 … given the 2/1
premise of the index, that’s over a 100%+ advantage gold has over trading
GBPUSD for profit based solely on IVIX.

I wrote a “BOT’ program in Python that captures minute by minute the data, so I
know at any given time of the day or night where these 2 primary markets are
relative to each other [or any other market as well], and can analyze in real time
whether or not it’s worth trading … combine this with bank and/or HFT
positioning, along with the trading algorithm, and it’s fireworks … time to let the
ponies run again in gold for the PAMM / MAM!

… until tomorrow … Onward & Upward!!
