I Can't Wait to See the Down 10/11/22


Recommended Posts

The 5 day cycle up phase started in the pre market on Sunday night. The ES 24 hour S&P futures are approaching the top of that up phase.

Wait, we're at a low! How can this be a top?

Ask me that question in a couple days when the market is looking back here from lower levels to see it clearly. 

3570 is the key. If that breaks, then the down phase will pick up steam. The hourly indicators as of 6:30 AM ET suggest that it may be starting now. If 3570 holds then they can extend the churning for a bit longer. 

To get anything at all going on the upside, they'd need to clear 3605. 

If they break 3570, the next stop would be 3533, then 3480. 

I wouldn't bet against it happening today.

THE SLINGSHOT MANEUVER

As you are all aware the Fed is deperately trying to blast away from the debt default event horizon.

Just one little problem.

There is not enough fuel to do it.

So what can it do.....

Plan B....the pivot....the only real option left....

It can turn around and accelarate towards the debt.....

Picking up inflationary speed by printing.....

So reducing the debts "real debt mass"

And slingshot around it....

As a spacecraft slingshots around a planet.......

Picking up speed to reach escape velocity.

This is the only way to escape the debt event horizon now......

Reduce the real debt mass.

Reduce the debt event horizon.

Reduce the gravitational force.

Then escape.

Jimbo...

Slingshot maneuver?  1/2 your post sounds like it came out of a Farscape episode. 

You're not a fan are you? I have the complete series on DVD.  I like to watch 'em while wearing my Browncoat.

The market?  Exercising a little patience...when we broke down instead of up, not much to do except wait. 

Odds are...I'll be long this time next week.

BofA "Last week yielded third largest inflow in stocks since 2008"BofA clients were net buyers of $6.1B in equities. Headline on Interactive Brokers per StreetInsider.

 

I guess we haven't capitulated yet. We're just burning up the cash on the sidelines in bear market rallies leaving less and less cash on hand to buy the eventual bottom.

Bank of England is going to buy $5B a day in index-linked Gilt due to "dysfunctional market" and "self-reinforcing fire sale dynamics" due to pension funds raising cash to meet margin calls. Index-linked Gilt returns are pegged to inflation.

 

Well I can see why they have a lot of Gilt there - too much Q/E.

Cash trades do not affect the amount of "cash on the sidelines." The impact is zero. 

Cash trades are transactions, not repositories. They are the point at which money changes hands. 

Only leveraged trades impact the amount of money in the system.  In that sense, only unused margin is cash on the sidelines. Margin purchases increase M. Margin calls decrease it. The only way that "cash on the sidelines" can diminish is through forced margin liquidation. That literally, in fact, destroys cash. Its existence ends at that point. 

The Fed is also reducing "cash on the sidelines" via QT. 

But always remember. Cash trading has zero impact on "cash on the sidelines." Zero, zilch, nada, none. 

When you buy a stock, the guy who sold it to you gets your cash in return.

I stand corrected. In my humble defense I haven't had my morning coffee yet :) You are correct - fuzzy logic on my part. 

No, it's good that you brought this up. It's a common Wall Street/CNBC shibboleth that the tens of thousands of millions of readers of the Stool need to understand.

US TREASURY SECRETARY YELLEN: THE US WILL BACK TEMPORARY DEBT SERVICE STANDSTILLS FOR COUNTRIES SEEKING DEBT RELIEF UNDER THE G20 COMMON FRAMEWORK.

 

How would this work? Does the IMF just restructure their sovereign debt? The world is drowning in debt from ZERP & Q/E. As Jimbo says I doubt they will do anything but double down in debt to infinity slingshots.

If they would do this right now the result would be some kind of hyperinflation, espacially if we consider a partial roll back of globalization, which in itself would be inflationary (as globalization was deflationary in the last 2-3 decades)
