Battle OF The Fibos & The Negative Yield Wall<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fibonacci retracement<\/a> levels are horizontal lines that indicate where support<\/a> and resistance<\/a> are likely to occur. They are based on Fibonacci numbers. Each level is associated with a percentage. The percentage is how much of a prior move the price has retraced. The Fibonacci retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used. \u2013 Investopedia<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Traders and \u2018bots are clearly in control of this market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are fairly convicted the 50% Fibo won\u2019t hold, which sets up a quick move to 50-day moving average at 2721-ish<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful out there, folks, the shorts have been destroyed<\/a> in the big bounce off the March 23rd bottom and there is very little holding up this market now x\/ hope, delusion, and the specter of more financial asset shortages, in our opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, there is little room in yields for bonds to now be used as a stock market hedge or short proxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it\u2019s possible the trading momo boyz & \u2018bots may believe Jerome Powell will take them out of their longs at -2.0 percent, we have our doubts as it will create a real problem for the Fed and Treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s [negative interest rates] an unsettled area. I know that there are fans of the policy, but for now, it\u2019s not something we\u2019re considering. We think we have a good toolkit, and that\u2019s the one we\u2019ll be using.\u201d \u2013 Chairman Powell, May 13th<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Though the Chairman was likely referring to only policy interest rates, it is not clear that if traders pushed U.S. notes and bond yields into negative territory the Fed would be there to buy as part of their QE program.  If they do, imagine the shit show this would cause with the monthly Treasury auctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
