"Biggest Rally Of 2015" Crashes Into Biggest Reversal Since Lehman

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Did you drink the Kool-Aid?

 

It appears not everyone did... The first 6-day losing streak for the S&P 500 since July 2012...

The S&P 500 has gapped up +3% and closed down on the day only once since the inception of the futures, 10/16/08 (h/t @sentimenttrader)

 

Call that a bounce-back...?

 

Across asset-classes the last 2 days have been 'eventful' to say the least...

 

The Dow is down almost 700 points from the post-PBOC highs!!!

 

Stocks bounced, half-heartedly... but Nasdaq was on target for its best day of the year... (and best since the first trading day of 2013's meltup) before they puked it all back in the last hour...

 

Cash indices remain red on the week as once again Nasdaq was driven up to unchanged before the selling pressure resumed..

 

While we are well aware of the 'hope' priced into this rebound, the actual gains from the China rate cut

 

VIX was total chaos...

 

None other than Eric Hunsader summed it all up perfectly...

What was really driving stocks today was simple - USDJPY fun-durr-mentals...

 

Utes were worst today (as rates soared) and Tech remains the winner on the week - though all S&P sectors are under water...

 

Still financials did not look overly excited...

 

Treasury yields were battered higher today - biggest rise in 10Y yields (13bps) since Feb 2015...the late-day selloff in stocks put a modest bid into bonds... We can't help but wonder if this move is rate-lock-buying ahead of panic-last-minute corporate issuance before rates go up in Spetember

 

The US Dollar was bid as EUR weakened but JPY was critical...

 

Commodities were mixed with crude and copper bouncing back in anticipation and comfort at the rate cut as PMs dumped as the USD levitated...

 

Charts: Bloomberg

Bonus Chart: We're Gonna Need Another Rate Cut...

Bonus Bonus Chart: Is China really to blame?

 

Bonus Bonus Bonus Chart: Trade Accordingly...

I'm finding this blatent market manipulation to be absolutely hysterical, as well as necessary in terms of opening some eyes to the flashing warning signs.  As a nation, we're bankrupt - fiscally, culturally, morally.  Nowhere is this fact more exemplified than in our "elected" national politicians, and in a market that gets whipsawed 2000 points per day on zero meaningful economic data.

Right on, but watch out for surprises: The national, state, corporate, bank and equity financials are so badly deteriorated and misstated that the desparate manipulators will be attempting some doomed, hail mary effort to move the goal posts. Stocks have just started yesterday to discount the impending financial disaster, hidden in plain sight since Lehman 2008.

When the little people come in, the big connected people sell. That's how it works, they buy, announce that they did, the little people buy a lot more, pushing the price up, then the big connected people sell. Pump and dump, as Matt Drinkwater (Bevilacqua) stated plainly. Regular folks have no chance as long as it's not a true free market. It is interesting how Thomas Jefferson and George Washington died insolvent but today's leadership/elite has decided their wealth must be risk-free and guaranteed. The government, the elite, and the establishment left and the free shit army all hate and fear free markets, and become quite irrational and enraged at the thought of giving them a try. In fact, about the only time the establishment left looks like it has any balls and will to engage in violence is at the suggestion of giving free markets a try, and telling them we've never had any makes them even crazier and more irrational.

Stockman or whoever was right, after this there may well be voices blaming economics itself. Economics keeps embarrassing them, and these are people who don't take kindly to being embarrassed anymore. What Soros did against the BOE would never be allowed today. Instead of collecting his winnings he would be arrested. I suspect there are already people in think tanks floating ideas to get rid of money and trade. And it sounds so progressive and utopian, after all the Zeitgeist movement calls for the elimination of money, so it will be appealing to a great many people. The group in charge must move to an opaque system to continue on. Make no mistake, they will destroy the financial system trying to hold onto power. If they can't control markets, they will get rid of them. From their perspective, they have to.

I fully expected a green close today if for no other reason than...

well, just because it would only make sense in this land of strangeness and absurdity.

I have to admit though it was nice to be pleasantly surprised, a bit of reality seeping in finally perhaps? I guess the house doesn't always win after all.

unless of course this is the start of the planned and engineered global collapse in order to usher in the new world order deal. in which case the PTB's have decided that they have sucked everything they can out of us serfs as we are and now is the time to bring on that crises they don't intend to let go to waste in order to line us up for the real shearing.

or perhaps the CB's really are losing control the world over and we are in for one hell of a ride on the way to the re-set.

then again we could close green tomorrow on rainbow unicorn shit and pure muppet stupidity.

in any case it's all popcorn and bug out rehearsals from here on in.

Incredibly enjoyable smugness this am as the breathless announcers marveled at the resilience of the US stock market giving China's overnight plunge the middle finger salute and a 600 point boost in the Dow futures.  You knew it was phony from the start.   Even better are the predictions that the Fed is certainly going to proceed with  arate increase.  There will be quite a relief fally when Fischer lets it be known there won't be one, but it won't last past that, the long slide down to where it belongs will then take place.

Now is the time to invest in the DOW. Because of Obama's genius, and the wisdom of Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen, America is on its way to a whole new period of 5% GDP growth, every year for like ... I dunno ... the next 10 or 20 years ... Hey ... Have you seen my cocaine?

Let's all buy the DOW to support America. I also think we should all lobby our leaders for a substantial middle class tax increase. Middle class families  -especially white folks  -need to suck it up and sacrifice for the good of the country. We also need to send a few billion more to Israel, and cut our ridiculous government spending so we can get ready for the next baillout of the banks- If their bonuses suffer, they will lose good talent and that could make it much harder for them to save the country. Our country must remain strong  -the Iranians will soon have the ability to destroy us all with the nukes that are about to be made operational-likely within weeks. They will wipe Israel off the face of the Earth -and then we are next. We also have to deal with the Syrian and Russian aggression. Putin and Assad are Hitler wannabbes. They are an existential threat to our survival. They also oppose gay marriage and mock Caitlan jenner. Long and strong! Go on margin, mortgage your house and support Wall Street and AmeriKa.

I don't think "we" ever had such an opportunity.  It's fashionable to say that "we" are to blame for all of this, but exactly how do you stop these individuals from what they do to us, short of using force?  Courts and laws are a joke, prosecutors don't prosecute, and the entire system of finance is the creation of the elite in any case.  It's doing what it was designed to do, which is to obscure our slavery and transfer the value of our work to the top of their pyramid.

At what point do we have any choice but submit or shed blood?  How many people are capable of seeing this stark choice for the truth it is?  Our instincts to be social animals are always used against us, and this is why The War Against Slavery is still the one great evolutionary fight of the human race.

Poaster to my arguement, essentially what you are saying is that it's somebody elses problem -not mine because I'm not a lawmaker or "wearing the robes" even when they are breaking the law under the oaths they took to protect and defend the Constitution...  So therefore whatever I do as an individual watching the slow motion train wreck being made by the very same corporation(s) I'm investing in with my money (which happen to be influenced by the lawmakers and "robes" they pay off)  is irrelevant! It's all circular so where do you draw the line???...

Where does it end?  Obviously it ends with "blood in the streets' but I guess it all depends on what you're willing to give up in order to make it stop before it's made worse!...

At some point it's up to the collective will of the people to decide when the system is too flawed, broken and taking advantage of  (you or me) which is what ZH has been all about since it's inception.

My personal opinion and to my point?... We let this charade go on far longer than it should have after "9/11" and the bailout(s) in '08!!!

America and Europe are only going to continue to decline as they are flooded with tens of millions of illiterate 3rd world brown people.  That's the only real story here - the suicide of the West.  The suicide of Western culture, Western civilization, and the white race.  This is a period of volatility as the reins are passed to "someone" else.  Because Western civilization is committing collective suicide and collapsing.

It turns out illiterate Mexicans are not the same as college educated whites.  It turns out illiterate, diseased Muslims and Africans are not the same as Europeans.  Those who think the glory days of the West are coming back need to head to the local Walmart or Real or city park and look around.  The West is finding out that aborting millions of white babies and using birth control to prevent the conception of 1 billion more has consequences.  As you sow so shall you reap.

The Tribe does not care that they are replacing white Christian Eoropeans with diseased, illiterate immigrants from Somalia and Algeria. That has been their plan for nearly a century - Divide and Conquer  - the balkanization of America and Europe. This is no conspiracy, It's a fact. Too bad their media and controlled education establishment covers for them  -not to mention the criminal perverts they select and elect to Congress and the Oval Office.

OK - wtf is with the sardines? My mains are oatmeal rice and pasta. Seeds etc In addition I have sacks of all grain beer brewing plus the hops and yeast. Besides sardine Farts as weapons of mass destruction - where are you going with that?

Nothing stacks like sardines/herring. 100 cans of protein and omegas good for at least 5 to 10 years that fit in a roughly 12"x12"x12" cardboard box.

I have money in this market and probably lost 20% (afraid to look) the past two weeks, yet this is still hilarious and awesome. The FED getting exposed is worth whatever is in that account.

Hah. I guessed 20% because I don't own ETFs, and the individual stocks tend to get killed more than the overall market.

It's Lou Dobbs "War on the Middle Class".

Those with Advantages, access to power, the powerful, the King Makers, the Mayors de Palace...

They want slave labor Rates.

So they have destroyed borders in at least 3 different ways.

- Open Borders
- H1B VISAs for foreigners
- Out Sourcing and use of Temporary Workers or Part Time workers
- Automation, Computers, Robots
- Off Shore Jurisdictions for Corporations or Banking
- Off Shore Production & Services
- Compensation Deferred to Off Shore Trust Accounts

But they can also turn us against each other by creating a police state where the citizens are under suspicion and the police and other agencies are used to promote a culture of fascism.

- Busy bodies & kids turn in parents, kids, teachers, neighbors
- Networks of Surveillance Equipment now exist in all major cities of the world including Third World Countries
- War on Drugs, War on hiding savings or income, war on those that want to live off the grid or without city taxes, war on reputations, all allegations are recorded some place for security people to find and this data is available globally on US Citizens since US Collects this data and wants friendly relations

Fuck Wall Street. The ONLY possible good thing is that the crash of 2008 was just a few short years ago and people are still well aware of the bs they pulled and lied about.  Maybe they will really be heads that roll this time.  Like bloody heads cut off ISIS style rolling down the street.  Kickball with a twist.

tanks really are not particularly useful when it comes to crowd control.

bring out lots of thugs with badges, body armor, tear gas, shotguns with "non lethal" munitions and L-RAD cannons and then your getting somewhere.

course they also have to be equipped with assault rifles, gpmg's and sniper rifles just in case the serfs get to upity...

Ha, wrote this about 3 years ago.

 

"So, all us data geeks have to make some kind of prediction right? Well the day before 2012, I will say only this. If 60-70% of the market is HFT algos, then what does that mean? Well, they don't hold positions right? So why wouldn't the market start in the morning at some nominal level (say 10,000) then fluctate wildy all day only to return back to nominal? Day after day after day. We already saw this pattern for one long period (the year of 2011). Will we start to see the same pattern at shorter periods? A year, to a month, to a week to a day?"

Kudos Tylers on the line: "What was really driving stocks today was simple - USDJPY fun-durr-mentals..." 

Can't emphasize this enough, today and every day.  With PBOC -- Japan's biggest trading partner -- easing/devaluing, how much longer will BOJ wait?  They know full well that if USDJPY can't hold 120.11, the yen carry trade is toast -- and, with it, the rally.

Interesting tidbit: at yesterday's lows, the ¥80 trillion in equities held by BOJ and GPIF - if invested solely in Nikkei 225 -- would have lost ¥14 trillion in less than 2 weeks. That's 2.4% of Japan's GDP.  I hate to say it, but BOJ has no choice but to ease/devalue again, and soon.

I've been telling people for two years that the market was bullshit and would eventually fall (and got my share of snickers and eye rolls along the way), but today's collapse surprised even me.  Seeing the PPT get beaten down like a stray dog was sort of like seeing Superman get his ass whooped by Zod & friends.  If "They" can't keep this market up then nothing can.  I was expecting a bottom around 1700 for this dip, but now I'm thinking it might hit the 1620-1400 air pocket of early 2013, and then...

 

Well, I guess I'll have to see what the PPT does tomorrow.  For all I know they're about to unleash $2T of fresh bills to buy absolutely everything offered until 4 PM, no questions asked.  Push Apple back to $120, a few others, and suddenly the "dip" is done.

I don't really see any support until 2007 highs
(161.1 SPY)
I have tried to find something higher - perhaps 167.5 on equal rectangle.

Think the USgovt manipulators will come in in the next few days and push it back up to the lower edge of the band.
(2036 ES area) and if it fails there then sell
