Dow Follows Biggest Crash Since Lehman With Third Biggest One Day Surge Ever As China Dumps Treasurys

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Another dead cat bounce... but this one didn't completely collapse... which means...

Victory!!!

 

As Nasdaq gets back into the green for the week!! Mission Accomplished...

 

As post-European close panic-buying hit US Stocks...

 

And Bonds were brutalized today as the realization that China is selling spreads... This is the worst 2-day percentage  yield rise for 30Y bonds since Oct 2011.

And bond liquidity was absymal....

Another day, another overnight ramp on vapor-thin volume to maintain the illusion into the US open...

And then the panic-buying ensued.

CNBC cheerleaders out en masse today once again... which made one tweeter think...

But thanks to USDJPY, eveything was awesome...

 

Volume was weaker than it has been in the flush...

NOTE - today saw another lower high!! Be Careful

 

Today was the biggest short squeeze since mid Dec 2014...

 

Perhaps a little context is required for this 'healthy correction'... Todsay is The Dow's biggest point gain since Oct 2008 (and biggest percentage gain since Nov 2011)

 

AAPL's best day since April 2014...

 

And VIX saw its signal early on and pushed down to meet it... VIX crashes below 30 once again...

 

Meanwhile - have no fear, The VIX Term Structure is 'normal'....

Chatter that credit risk has turned are overstated... as counterparty risk seems notably bid still...

 

 

But the S&P has caught down to the weakness in the credit cycle...

 

EUR weakness and Cable hammered drove the USD Index higher on the day and back into the green for the week...

 

Commodities were all sold with silver and gold worst hit. The PMs did stabilize a little after Europe closed as copper & crude kept sliding...

 

WTI ended at the lows of the day with a $38 handle once again  (despite weak production and a big draw)...

 

We leave you with this comment from one bruight CNBC anchor, smiling gormelssly at thblionkg green lights...

"Concfidence In The Market Has Been Restored"

So no need for 'Markets In Turmoil" shows anymore then?

Charts: Bloomberg

Bonus Chart: A Change In Trend Is Coming...

Funny how they're all saying "3rd biggest point gain EVER", but never say WHEN those point gains happened:

1 2008-10-13 9,387.61 +936.42 +11.08% (MID-CRASH)

2 2008-10-28 9,065.12 +889.35 +10.88% (MID-CRASH)

3 2015-08-26 16,285.51 +619.07 +3.95% (TODAY)

 

Hmm...

I talked with my 83 year old dad today, and once again pleaded with him to bail on the market. He said everyone on TV was saying this was just a correction. I asked him if he thought of the possibility of more QE, he said 'what's that, they never talk about that on TV, and do you think you are smarter than everyone on TV?

Fed is so fucking scared of what's coming in September and October which is normally when every 7 years or so the typical months when the shit hits the fucking fan.  And they've created the most epic mess in the history of the universe this time around.  Everyone is waiting to sprint for the exits screaming at the drop of a dime at this point the closer we get to Sept. and Oct. 

So this is a dead cat bounce...and the Fed might just launch QEternity just in time for Sept. and Oct. in order to cover everything up and kick the can down the road a little longer to try and convince everyone they've got the markets covered no matter what and won't and CAN'T raise rates even a fraction of a point.

We'll see how long they can extend and pretend further. 

I highly doubt if they get out of 2015 alive that they can get through 2016 without full global implosion and WWIII.

I think a lot of us have run into this phenomenon. Understanding takes experience (either yourself or by listening/reading from others), and time to reflect on and digest those experiences.

The other impossibly hard discipline is to question yourself and your assumptions. Years ago I got into renewables because I thought I could save the world. Then I found out many (not all) of the technologies are pipe dreams at best, or thinly disguised funnelling of cash to ag lobbies. But even those who saw it first hand still bought into the lie, because that's what you had to do in order to advance your career.

Then you go out and try to explain this to anyone who has bought the green agenda uncritically, and you are an instant Luddite, or a cynic, etc.

yup...this is just a dead-cat bounce for sure.  Wait til late September, early October. 

And regardless of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanything...even if 2015 survives the shit-storm coming our way right now, then use it as just a little bit more time to prepare.  Because there's no fucking way this world gets through 2016 without the motherfucking collapse of all time. 

These things now are just those tremors that we feel before a major earthquake or a massive volcanic eruption.  That's all it is with a little bit of control by central banks and government.  But they don't have much firepower left.  They can't plug up all the holes in the bursting damn of debt.  And for another tragic analogy...they can not ever do a fucking thing to stop the ultimate Tsunami of debt and collapse that's coming our way at 200mph. 

There is no high ground anymore.

I think it is time to recognize the "the market" doesn't really exist as long as the Fed is willing to provide *unlimited funds* to buy back stocks.

Charts only make sense in an unregulated market.  What we have here is a totally manipulated puppet show.

The banksters are in control.  They have the ability to create unlimited money through the Fed, which allows them to buy back the entire equities of the world.  And that is what they are doing.

They also have the ability to create unlimited naked shorts, which allows them to totally manipulate the commodity and precious metals.

This is fascism. They can do whatever they choose.

“Every Day is a Fun Day”      from    "Everyday Is Like Sunday"       by Morrissey

Plunging lower, as through quicksand  
Back to the place where your funds were frozen
These are the hopeful stocks that forgot how to go down
Armageddon—come, Armageddon   Come, Armageddon    Come!

Every day was a plunge day
Every day was silent and grey

Side with the Plunge Squad in the post-drop
"How I dearly wish I’d bought more here"

In our Capitol town, central bankers hunkered down
“Come! Come!”   Comes the ‘all clear’ sound

Every day is a fun day
Every day’s now strident and gay

The Fed claws back the Invisible Hand
And a strange lust sparks demand
And rips off your face
Off your face, your short face
Off your face

Every day is a Fun Day
"Get Yourself A Cheap Play"
Share some Fed tea with me  
Every day is strident and gay

Sound bite of the day is a Fed official saying no rate hike in September. That's all that matters. When another Fed official says September is still on the table, the market will go back down. Until then, since we broke above the 50 bar MA on the 30 minute SP-500 chart, Mondays high is the level to watch.

It's starting to look like the battle between Sith Lord Palpatine and Master Windu with the old bastard screaming "POWER...!" as Windu struggled to crush the now-revealed evil before him...

...of course, the young Jedi Aniken is US, watching alarmed and perplexed at the startling contest between "right", and the "good" he THOUGHT he knew...

Despite Windu's pleading and sound rationale, we know the choice "Ani" made.

All it takes for evil to win is for good folk to do nothing...

...or worse, play too.

If it happens two days in a row, blood will run on the streets.

I don't think it will. Today should be the absolute inverse of yesterday. I think we rocket up into the close, probably up toward 1940 on the S&P. They really want this day to be ridiculously green.

Today's close got me so hard. It means short restrictions will be lifted and I can make immense amounts of profits from shorting at really attractive levels. Not only that but the time period of ripping off the unsuspecting market participant has been extended.

It's basically the best technique they have for driving their currency down. Kind of a risk for their equity market, though: At this point I'd say international investors are even more likely to sell to cut their exposure, rather than see Chinese shares as cheap and come in as marginal buyers.

FED openly buying stocks is being suggested by mainstream moron economists like Roger Farmer openly for a long time. Absolutely horrifying:

"First: Give the Fed the power to buy a value weighted Exchange Traded Fund that contains every publicly traded stock.  Commit to support the ETF by buying stocks. Pay for the shares by  borrowing, or by trading Social Security Trust Fund."

I'm not too proud to admit that I said this same prayer after 2008 when investing in the DOW at 10k, became a holding exercise at 6k.

After too long and only when the market got back to 10k, I cashed in my chips and left the casino.

 

I don't mind admitting any of that.

NO ... ???? Then guess what ...

No, and that's why I'm holding to my position of 500 shares SPXS and am looking for an entry point for 500-1000 more.

I see absolutely every indicator suggesting major downside risk in the short term.  As ZH points out, this pattern is a classic, text book case of lower highs, on poor volume.

This was a pointless melt up.  Until QE4 comes online (if it comes online), they can only tinker with the overall trend, which is down.
