Two Rug Pulls, One Week: You're Not Paying Attention

If you missed Friday's update you missed a lot, and judging by the number of views on Friday, most traders must think they already have a good handle on the current market. If you saw Friday's short squeeze coming, and you knew enough to take profits at Friday's close that includes you. If not then here's a link to the most important update of the summer:  Bonds, Banks, and $VIX: The Trade Nobody's Connecting 

Choppy Yet Navigable With The Right Charts   




  

In hindsight: although the broader market absolutely DOES suck - lacks leadership, or follow-through - it remains highly predictable, and that's what really matters. The $VIX charts are working like a charm - let that be your guide. "There is no fear but fear itself", rings true. 



As I pointed out in last week's highly informative series of post-summer updates, the sector rotations they tried to convince us were part of a, "healthy broadening out economy", is unwinding at light speed. 


What's driving the $VIX (fear gauge). Last week it was $6 diesel...

This week: AI going to kill us all within 10 years. And which stock get's taken down the hardest on the most obvious scripted PsyOp we've seen, since covid..? Trump pick - SoftBank Shares Drop -10% Amid Safety Warnings...(trending #1 on X)    

The $SFTBY chart: Yeah it's a sell, and I bet the entire house and Senate are already short!

Softbank trading in a bearish downturned channel

 I'll bet SpaceX and Tesla are also lower! Spoiler: YUP  

Breaking Alert: The 2nd PsyOp of the morning was just spotted trending #1: Sam Altman Warns of AI Dual Dangers to Humanity [link] ðŸ¤£- you can't make this shit up.



  • Bill Gates goes on CNN to announce that planet earth is in dire need of international AI regulation. 
  • Democrats - and even some Republican's follow suit - releasing their own public statements. 
  • Today full blown panic selling in Trump sponsored SoftBank. Not very convincing, yet I get a little nervous when I see the uni-party marching in lockstep.

Rough seas, but the charts are still the only compass that isn't lying to you

Bonds, Banks, and $VIX: The Trade Nobody's Connecting

While the talking heads are pointing to $6 crude oil, attempting to fan the flames on Trumpflation - not gold this time - diesel fuel - and good luck trying to find a reliable chart. It's a niche trade, similar to nickel. I only charted it this morning, because it's one of the only news stories hitting the tape. Spoiler:

The Brent crude oil chart - I discovered after yesterday's close - is far more exciting..: 


That is NOT the chart that cracked the code on the current market. This is: 

 

1. $PBFKX - Pioneer Bond Fund (trades mostly US government backed treasuries). Price action just took out my downside target, at the lower end of the range (a classic pennant pattern). This is the chart that utterly destroys the liberal lame stream media false narrative, that "investors are making bets on higher interest rates". Funny thing is they're reporting this with a happy face - I haven't seen them having this much fun since they started blaming covid deaths on Trump, but I digress...  




2. Financials: I hinted at what I was looking at a couple days ago: 


It's absolutely not a coincidence that the protected - too big to fail - US banking system is holding up just fine, even as the supposed threat of higher debt and soaring interest rates are knocking at the door. Ironic. 

And without further ado: The 7th tweet response, below the pinned tweet alert I posted in my timeline yesterday. It's like a treasure hunt finding it - explains why it got so few views. Click on the tweet below to get a better view of the bullish consolidation pattern - landing right on key support in real time. 

In case you're still scratching your head: the powers that shouldn't be have no intention of allowing US financials to collapse as they did in 2008, and that's what makes the above chart an absolute tell. It proves that the bull market - if you can even call it that - remains on track. 

3th Chart I discovered had to be updated, before the pattern - a clean parallel channel - came into view. Click on my response to the tweet below - to find one of the best charts of the day (only got 23 views). Just goes to show how little attention is paid to the most valuable information. 

$SVXY - The Infamous $VIX bear ETF


One of the main reasons the fear PsyOp needed to be ramped up - was to coincide with the republican convention, so in hindsight it was the perfect storm, and I'm not sure it's entirely over. The midterms aren't over by a long shot.   

 The week in review: The action was not all that terrible, unless you were trying to bottom pick one of the sectors CNBC Fast Money has been shamelessly pumping all year - too many to mention. 

 The Broader Market Is Set For a Rebound

The S&P only ended down .5% - yet managed to shake the weak hands just below the 50 day SMA.   

Support on the SPY is the June high ($759). The Chart speaks for itself. 


P.S. Happy 9/11 Patriots! Never stop exposing the truth about what really happened on this day in history! Only 80% of Americans believe the official narrative.
