But It's Tuesday!!

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Whether it is algos looking for a better entry point for the inevitable green close, a market reacting to Saks disappointment, or a realization (ahead of Bernanke tomorrow) that the hawkish jawboning recently is an attempt at a soft-landing is unclear. One thing is becoming clear: the Dow Jones track record of being up 19 out of 19 consecutive weekly Tuesdays is suddenly in jeopardy...

 

Stocks are not happy...

 

and bonds are selling off too (suggesting the hawkishness)...

 

and the USD strengthening...

Here, stand on this "safe rug" for a second...

The yield on the ten will not be allowed to go (that much) above 2.0% for the foreseeable future...   < shocker >

Taper means interest up = stock and economy crash. No taper = inflation, loss of reserve and economy crash. History bets on inflation. Export some dollars to goodluckistan.... Bullish on bullets.

$3.5 billion in POMO today, seriously doubt we close below 1660.  Fed day tomorrow may be a 2%+ up day on a "surprise" unch. or increase in easing.

In your own word, Tyler:  Unpossible.

After all, when everyone knows the market rises on Tuesdays, the "market" MUST rise on Tuesday...right?  "Efficient market" anyone?  How about a forward looking indicator?  21 index "new all time highs" this year...must also turn into 22, right?  Isn't that how the new normal "market" works?  Charity for all useless, lazy, crooked prefered broker dealer banks?

This Tuesday thing...this string...is probably the best argument out there for a pure, clean, unambiguous market collapse.   And wouldn't it be sweet...if it actually happened during the regular session?  I mean...talk about justice!

Thing is, market will not collapse today.  This is al intraday games in the prime algo period of the day.  Look at L2 and L3--it is all algo wars right now.

Whatever it is, which will not collapse today - it is not a "market". I've been watching this for quite a time, and I'm not sure what I am watching. But it certainly isn't a "market". It's not even real.

Do not BTFD until after Bullard shock is overcome.  Still some 40 minutes away.    That is, if you are a human.  If you are a computer, BTFD anytime you want, so long as you sell a second or two later.

Absolutely.  After all 19 Tuesdays needs to be on its way to 20 Tuesdays, and after that, 21...and so on...just like it always should with markets.  I mean, who would sell into the strength of that beyond bizarre anomaly?

Good times!

The New Normal "Market" requires complete random movement, a breakdown of all correlations, banker price predictions that are built on such wisdom as "my sense is things can go higher", and Tuesdays.

Party on, all pachinko players.

A little fear in the markets possibly from Bernanke speaking tmrw. I bet the Dow close up like 100 points today just to confuse everyone. This market never makes sense.

Whether up or down, realizing that the markets are ALL simply scam policy tools designed to distribute money as those who create the money desire in support of their plan and goals ... makes it all both comforting and laughable.

The clowns in charge have big red noses and floppy feet, for sure.

What happened to the big DAX futures UP move in AH late Friday? Where's the big pop on the DAX? Frankfurt was closed yesterday and is down today. The top is in. About time the May sellers take profit.

If you rigged a roulette wheel, wouldn't you just make it come up red when most of the money was on black, and vise-versa?
And I think their fiat pockets are longer than ours ...
