Volume expanding as market heads for neckline

naufalsanaullah's picture




 

Original piece here.

After the big gap-up on Monday on news of the CNY floating, the market hit its 50DMA and has done nothing but selloff since then, with four consecutive red days. As I stated in previous posts, the right shoulder of the big 8-month-long pattern in the equity indices seems to be in-the-making and 1130 may be the lower high defining the new downtrend. Still watching the 1040 neckline level as the big sell-off trigger.

SPY

The 10yr note yield that I've been mentioning as a risk indicator did indeed breakdown out of its triangle pattern and is now bouncing off of support at 310bps. This provides credence for a short-term bounce in risk, and indeed we hedged out short book today with a nice high-beta chart (view trades here), but our intermediate-/long-term prospects remain bearish. Watch the TNX 310bps level breakdown to indicate risk aversion and to lead the 1040 level breakdown in the S&P (credit leads equity).

TNX

ICI reported yesterday that another $1.8B was withdrawn from long equity mutual funds last week, bringing the YTD outflows to $29B. Meanwhile, Dean Baker and Meredith Whitney have both expressed bearish outlooks for housing in the US recently, as May new home sales plunged a record 32.7% vs. -18.7% consensus and 14.7% in April. The housing double-dip has officially arrived.

Meanwhile in Europe, the situation continues to regress, as Greek 5yr CDS broke a new high to 1075bps. Portugal's 5yr bond auction came at a 4.657% yield, a full 957bps higher than last May's 5yr auction, while its ECB bank borrowing doubled MoM to €35.8B in May. Portugal is the new Spain, which is the new Greece, which is the new Lehman. Portuguese Emergency Stability Fund qualification is imminent.

Lots of talk of Chinese liquidity drying up. Zero Hedge has been all over this, reporting the 30day repo surging to 425bps, a fresh record. This, combined with the Aussie super-tax and Australia's PM resigning, could break down the China-Australia-US economic complex and lead to a collapse in the Australian & Chinese property bubbles, drive the USD higher, collapse the copper bubble, and lead to further liquidity crunches throughout the world at the interbank level.

Terrific work. Any thoughts about Friday's GDP number? Thanks.

how many basis points higher was that portuguese note?  900+ basis points seems maybe a power of ten off?

I think there is an unwritten rule somewhere on the site wherein it is written:  Whenever you write about Mr. Market and you want to attract more readers, particularly if you include words like neckline or double top, then you need to include not only charts of Mr. Market, but pictures of Ms. Market as well to offset, you know, ying and yang.  A famous contributor who will remain anonymous, but whose initials are RT, used to have fabulous writeups of Mr. Market, but everyone always tuned into see Ms. Market, real popular.  Otherwise, good comments and nice charts, it's rare I ever looked at them for some reason.

Can you possibly clarify your remarks in the context of both sides, HK?

And, the thoughts that have been crossing my mind in the past hours are a pre-emptive and coordinated effort on the scale of a modern financial version of the Marshall Plan.

Is it possible, also? Or, wishfull thinking?

Great summary, thx.

Agree, everything leads equity these days. Am watching european bonds, sovereign credit, FX-mostly JPY crosses.

Update 11.30am LDN:

-DAX bouncing off support but the chart looks awful.

-Money flowing out of Europe again to USD.

-Gold solid, up a touch in EUR and GBP.

-But bond markets very stable right now in Europe. UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal all very quiet.
