Before I get to the insanity of what happened yesterday afternoon, when
financial markets got “shocked” by FED minutes of the last meeting at
information they’ve been given for 3 fucking weeks, I would be remis if I didn’t
comment on the complete “clown show circus” going to happen today cuz it’s
“Jan. 6” … oh yes, right up there with Pearl Harbor, and 9/11 if you dare to
have your intelligence assaulted by Loon Libtards … expect the usual virtue
signaling, pearl clutching, and hyperbole by Libtards who get sent to their
“safe space” when Starbucks is out of raspberry latte … and you somehow
think Vlad or Xi are afraid of this bunch of losers led by “Taliban Joe”?
… Bwahahahaha! FJB!
Now to the FED Lounge Lizards … they caused the problem, now they want to
“soft land” expectations about the asset bubble,so they become uber hawkish
… all the while they will protect the level of the SP500 to stay ABOVE 4500 AT
ALL COSTS … and the battle between 4500 - 4700 is gonna be a B. I. Itch … and
if by chance in the days ahead interest rates on the 10 YR. Treasury climb above
1.79% [currently at 1.71%], and the SP500 does break 4500, watch how fast the
Lounge Lizards led by Spicoli change their tune and suddenly become uber
doves again … don’t worry, they’ll find a reason, and pump it to the blind
sycophants at CNBC & Dumberg, who will vigorously report on it with glee … and
it’ll be time to pump the asset bubble once more to the moon … cuz here’s the
dirty little secret … the FED, no matter what they say, CAN’T RAISE RATES
AGGRESSIVELY, cuz if they do the interest on the federal debt won’t be able to
be paid and the “U.S. of China” defaults … this isn’t my opinion,
IT’S A MATH FACT!
The only way they can stop the rise of asset bubbles, or slow the growth, is to
“talk tough”, and thus hope to take some of the air out of the proverbial
BUBBLE balloon … it won’t work cuz humans panic … and so, either we get a
full blown crash that makes 2008 look like a soft correction, or they cave and
reverse course once the SP500 gives up the 4500 level … and they’ll use the
“Plunge Protection Team” [PPT], CNTRL-P machine that goes “Brrrrrrrr” 24/7/365,
and anything else they can think of to pour hundreds of billions if not trillions into
the CORRUPT FINANCIAL system so 1) zombie corporations can continue to float
debt cheaply to use for stock buybacks, which props prices artificially, and 2) they
can please their masters by not letting stock prices collapse, thus insuring when
they retire from the FED, that the corner office with window views of nice parks
and that 7 digit “consulting fee” will be waiting for them from virus, scumbag
banks … this is the “payback”, the “quid pro quo” when nobody is looking in
the future … buckle up, it’s gonna get interesting beyond belief in the
weeks / months ahead … “cuz make absolutely no mistake about this … the FED
ONLY CARES ABOUT THE LEVEL OF THE SP500 … NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
… NOTHING”!
After seeing yesterday afternoon’s blitzkrieg panic to the downside in everything,
even though plenty of the Lounge Lizards for days if not weeks have been saying
this, markets acted with surprise at the FED’s hawkish talk … so I knew going to
bed last night that when I woke up early this AM, that most likely SHTF will
happen in the Asian session, and as a result ranges get blown out, and then
everything dies … and as the sun comes up in New York, that’s exactly the
scenario that got played out … gold and oil before Europe had even started have
passed their respective 20 Day Range MA’s, and so what’s left here for the rest of
the day? … “Spoos” getting buffeted around like a ping pong ball around the
close from yesterday, as I’m sure the PPT was active all night long … got to
protect “Stonks” at all costs, and while a few tech stocks get monkey
hammered, it’s the indices that matter, with the SP500 the king
… long live the king.
Meanwhile, after getting mauled yesterday afternoon, this morning in Europe
crude oil goes on a blistering rally that takes it up to $79+ … can’t figure this
out for any reason that’s sane … simply makes no sense … and the parabolic
curve in oil continues to march higher, as oil is up over $11 in 12 days … and
when it ends, look the hell out below, CUZ IT WILL BE FAST & VICIOUS!
It’s NOON in New York, and the criminal open at the NYSE is past us, where the
“Plunge Protection Team” [PPT] shows up and blasts “Stonks” higher, for 2
reasons … 1) protect the downside and change attitudes, and 2) to bail out
scumbag banks who have been buying the selling since yesterday’s close
… cuz after all, how’s an Apparatchik supposed to get rich with trading “skim”
if the banks aren’t allowed to make money! … yes, that would truly be a shame
wouldn’t it? … do they give you that deal?
The 10 YR. Treasury hasn’t moved at all this morning, holding onto rate gains
from yesterday … crude oil I haven’t even looked at cuz it went past its 20 Day
Range MA before the day even began … gold a nightmare from the long side in
a rate hike environment, and if the 10YR rate can’t move, then gold doesn’t move
either … that leaves the ‘Spoos”, where since the NYSE open has been a joke
… welcome to manipulation central! … meanwhile crypto exhibiting all of the
classic symptoms of the “dead cat bounce” from yesterday’s debacle to the
downside in BTC … what a “shitshow circus” that was … BTC simply mirroring
the SP500 almost tick for tick, and there’s very little interest in buying … there’s
panic selling, and then there’s short covering that spooks the rats … and that’s it!
What would the day be like without a DOUBLE REVERSAL in “Spoos” .. cuz after
yesterday’s shitfest, government manipulators gotta be manipulating to shape
attitudes towards “Stonks” … never mind inflation and higher rates, there’s the
PPT with the CNTRL-P machine … it works until it doesn’t … these people should
be in jail, and the fact they aren’t and do it with impunity, tells you everything you
need to know about the most corrupt financial system ever seen in history … just
hope & pray you don’t get caught in it when it ends, cuz what can’t be sustained
won’t be! … “the “U.S. of China” has a date with financial hell coming up … it’s
not a question of “IF” but “WHEN” … my guess is, when both the Ruskies &
ChiComs back their respective currencies with gold, the gig is up in the U.S.
… and that day is coming faster than you think”!
And like clockwork, once the double reversal is put in and the shorts fucked in
“Spoos”, there’s nothing left to do … as I have said many times, double
reversals almost always go NOWHERE once the second side is put it cuz the
order books are wiped clean … first the longs get screwed, then it’s the slow
crawl to the top for the shorts to take it … well, in the shorts … with both sides
of the order book wiped clean, what’s left? … exactly what the PPT manipulators
like to see, cuz they hate all specs!
Only one algorithm buy signal today in the SP500 for the Turnkey PAMM
… UP SLIGHTLY.
The “Spoos” the only thing to trade today, since both oil & gold “verboten” before
the day even began cuz they overran their respective 20 Day Range MA’s … the
spread today in oil was good to OK, seeing 2 cents to 3 cents most of the U.S.
session … why the hell they couldn’t do this the other day is beyond me, but today
with a $3.35 range, all of a sudden they discover religion? … WTF! … but it
doesn’t matter, as yet again there’s nothing here but serious chop once the U.S.
day gets going, and now crude is off over $1 from its high made much earlier
… gold has seen about a $6 - $7 range for the last 6 - 7 hours and is caught in
some serious bullshit chop with rates not moving one iota today but simply sitting
after “bigly & yuge” gains yesterday … again the 20 Day Range breached to the
upside before the New York day even began, and since then it’s been nothing
short of pure bullshit.
The algo signal in the “Spoos” came right after the low, and since the algo was in
scalp mode, that’s what I did … not very happy with Turnkey’s thieving HFT LP,
who stuck us with a half an index point slippage on liquidation … thieves, pure
and simple, but whaddaya gonna do? … it’s not like I don’t know who they are
… what pisses me off is Turnkey trying to tell me they are the very best … right,
sure they are, what a frickin’ joke … and after that it was hours to the next algo
signal which didn’t come until after the DOUBLE REVERSAL HIGH had been
made … knowing what I know about double reversals, why would anybody get
long on a signal that’s relatively close to the high when there’s a good sized
probability price isn’t gonna go anywhere … and that’s what happened, as the
algo signal never became reality cuz there was no confirmation of further price
gain … it just kept sliding lower … and now here we are in mid afternoon, with
the “Spoos” collapsing back down to “UNCH-ED” on the day … we got the
“dead cat bounce”, but even that can’t hold cuz rates aren’t budging an inch
from yesterday’s gains in yield on the 10YR Treasury … and if you need live
10 YR quotes, either Bloomberg or Trading View have them for free … right
now, eyes are fixated on the 10 YR. and whether or not the 1.79% yield gives
way to upwards towards 2% … if that happens, gold is gonna get mauled, and
the PPT will have its work cut out for itself keeping the “Spoos” from sinking
… and with rates doing NADA today, gold has nowhere to go … can’t rally
can’t break, and all we see is order flow chop from the scumbag bullion
dealer banks front running futures … that’s it, and there simply is no impetus
for gold to move, so if you trade it today, you’re risking dollars to make
pennies, which is not ideal to say the least … that’s why I was in the “Spoos”,
although trading conditions haven’t been that good … Turnkey’s LP’s have
boosted the spread by 0.1 - 0.2 index points and slippage is an issue today,
as I found out first hand … again the thieving, but tell me something I don’t
already know.
Meanwhile, crypto is a train wreck … trading conditions are terrible, with almost
no interest in BTC, and that makes trading it very tough, cuz nobody is reaching
for either bids or offers until they see the SP500 move, and then all of a sudden
everybody and their brother wants in and BTC goes up / down $150 … meanwhile,
nothing is really happening and like the “Spoos” the “dead cat bounce”
phenomenon has been achieved … now what, cuz it looks very heavy still, and
when this shit decides to go lower, it doesn’t mess around, as yesterday
afternoon proves … unless price starts to rally soon back over 45K, BTC looks
set to challenge the 40K area and the sell stops that go with it … as for today,
though, there isn’t anything here to trade … no trades today for “The Syndicate”
in crypto … if it ain’t there, you simply wait … doesn’t matter if you like it or not,
you wait, cuz if you don’t you hand money to “whales” and LP’s churning price
at your expense … that doesn’t get anybody to “millionairehood”!
Tomorrow is another “oh joy, oh fun” NFP Idiocy Day … can’t hardly wait
… hopefully shit behaves overnight so I got something to trade when I get up
… outta here … “The future’s so bright I need sunglasses”!! 😎
… Onward & Upward!
