Why Did The Market Bounce Today? Today the market bounced for 2 reasons....
1. Broadcom NASDAQ:AVGO received news of another OPENAI partnership. This multi year billion dollar deal caused the stock to bounce double digits. When this name rallies it causes liquidity to flow into the $SOXX. Semiconductors are still the heartbeat of this market and have propped everything up today.
The OPENAI headline seems to be running out of steam as the last 3 partnership announcements caused 3 stock to make new highs but AVGO did not take out its highs. This will be on watch.
2. The bond market was closed today allowing investors to not have to worry about catalysts or yields. There's an old saying on "when the cats away, the mice will play" .
The bond market is the much larger investment market aka the "cat" and this liquidity has clearly spilled over into smaller cap higher beta stocks.
Tomorrow we will see if the markets can take out the 20 day Moving average or if this pop gets sold into.
Yields
Highest Volume Candle Since Tarriff LowIWM saw a nasty reversal off the all time highs today.
A potential weekly topping tail is building.
What important about this reaction is the amount of volume that was traded.
This was the highest candle since April 9th.
High Volume reversals need to be monitored closely as it does show large money distributed into this strength.

Gold Deep Dive: Cycles, Correlations, Divergences, SymmetryGold has been in a raging bull market and almost up over 100% since its monthly bullish engulfing candle.
Gold sniffing out week monetary policy and rallying on the back of easing global monetary policy.
Historically from a trading standpoint, Gold is extremely overbought and could be 4-8 weeks away from a considerable pullback of 15-30% .
Many Signals such as symmetrical moves, Monthly overbought RSI, Copper / Gold Divergence, GDX resistance is telling us to use caution and trim long profits.
It does seem like gold wants $3500 before it has a reversal back down. We are looking for a liquidity sweep of the ATH as a possible short zone. (Not FA advice)
Once gold resets some indicators and allows longer term moving average to catch up it will likely keep pushing but we only for see that in mid to late 2026.
If we make a new high....we don't see much upside for the next 3-6 months.
IWM Appears Due for a Minimum 40-60% Downside CorrectionOn the lower timeframes IWM has been treating $223 as short term support with much sold put leverage building at $220 and recently IWM has begun to retrace back down into those levels putting those sold puts at risk of expanding the volatility and of squeezing through these short puts as a result.
The short term the loss of this zone could likely squeeze down to $200.
However in the longer term we have been trading within this much larger parallel channel since the peak and bottom of 2008-2009 GFC and have started to form a potential peak paired with a Bearish Shark. I think that if we were to start to see some serious downside the IWM could trade back down to not just the bottom of the channel but down to one of the 3 major horizontal supports I have plotted on the cart down at $121, $85.74, or even $41.11 if things get real bad.
Personally I will be targeting one of the 2 upper horizontal supports in the longer dated positioning while targeting the $210-$200 levels in the short term.
I'd suspect this decline to come especially as Fed Rate cut expectations are completely priced out of the market, it is worth mentioning that fed funds futures around the start of the month dropped their expectations of rate cuts for the September meeting down to 0 and we may now be on the path to pricing in rate hikes as seen in the chart below.
Alternatively the expectations for rates going into the end of December has been on a fast trajectory of pricing out rate cuts as well, starting at 90BPS of rate cuts at the start of the year, now pricing in only 37.5BPS in rate cuts:
This ongoing shift in these fed futures spreads from positive to negative signifies the amount that Fed Funds Futures are expecting the Fed to hike rates with both the instance of rate hikes and rate cuts likely to cause a collapse in credit spreads as the bond market yield shift higher leaving the interest rate sensitive IWM to be one of the most negatively affected.
PENDLE/BTC Daily Chart Analysis | Momentum Building for the NextPENDLE/BTC Daily Chart Analysis | Momentum Building for the Next Move
🔍 Let’s dive into PENDLE/BTC and highlight the current technical landscape with key areas to watch for traders.
⏳ Daily Chart Overview
PENDLE/BTC recently broke above a multi-month resistance near 0.00004500, confirming strong bullish momentum on the daily timeframe. Volume surges are supporting this upward move, indicating increased market participation and renewed interest from buyers.
🔺 Bullish Scenario:
If the uptrend continues, look for a push toward the first target:
- 0.00004840 (major supply/target zone)
- On further strength, 0.00005730 is in sight as the next resistance.
Expect short-term consolidation or minor pullbacks before any strong breakout.
🔻 Bearish/Consolidation Scenario:
If sellers step in or the rally loses steam, support is found at:
- 0.00004181 (immediate level)
- If this breaks, look for deeper retracement toward 0.00003300 (structural support).
📊 Key Highlights:
- Daily breakout from a consolidation range signals bullish continuation potential.
- Volume spikes confirm genuine buyer interest at current levels.
- Major upside targets: 0.00004840 and 0.00005730.
- Critical downside supports: 0.00004181 and 0.00003300.
- Price action may oscillate (range/consolidate) between the support and resistance before a major move.
🚨 Conclusion:
Momentum favors bulls as long as price holds above 0.00004181. Watch for a confirmed breakout above 0.00004840 for additional upside. Stay nimble—volatility will likely provide both breakout and pullback opportunities.

ENAUSDT 4H Chart Analysis | Bullish Breakout Setup in FocusENAUSDT 4H Chart Analysis | Bullish Breakout Setup in Focus
🔍 Let’s dive into the ENAUSDT perpetual contract and analyze the recent price action, spotlighting key technical signals and a potential breakout scenario.
⏳ 4-Hour Overview
The 4-hour chart shows ENAUSDT consolidating above a critical ascending trendline, with price action tightening into a symmetrical triangle formation. Multiple attempts to break down have resulted in a fake breakout, as indicated by low volume during the breakdown — a classic sign of seller exhaustion.
🔺 Bullish Breakout Setup:
On the upside, a confirmed breakout above the $0.6800 resistance could pave the way for a bullish continuation towards the $0.8000 target zone. The structure suggests increasing buying pressure as long as price holds above the trendline and key support ($0.6050).
📊 Key Highlights:
- Price retested the ascending trendline; buyers defended it aggressively.
- A fake breakout with low volume suggests trap for bears and quick recovery by bulls.
- The next major resistance comes at $0.6800, with a projected target at $0.8000 upon breakout.
- Short-term support sits at $0.6050. Price action above this level remains constructive.
🚨 Conclusion:
Watch for a decisive move beyond triangle resistance. A high-volume breakout above $0.6800 could trigger a sharp move toward $0.8000. Bulls are building momentum — keep an eye on volume to confirm breakout strength.
Bitcoin, SPX, Ethereum, Tesla: Whats Next? BTC appears to be showing distribution signs.
I do believe BTC local top is in, but alt coins like Ethereum can still push a bit higher.
Ethereum short around 3900-4000 looks promising
Tesla fell sharply on the back of cash flow burn and expenditures.
Investors are also fearful of sales decline and loss of EV credits.
SPX hit major long term resistance today. Coupling this with a depressed Vix we are likely setting up for a pullback in the market.
Small caps saw distribution today on the back of rising yields. A failed breakout observed on IWM chart.
Bond Bulls Smell Blood: 20-Year Yields Likely to Fall🧩 Fundamental Bear Case for 20-Year Yields
1. Recession Risk and Slowing Growth
Leading economic indicators (e.g., ISM Manufacturing, Conference Board LEI) continue to suggest softening demand across key sectors.
A recession or significant slowdown would drive capital into long-duration Treasuries, causing yields to fall as bond prices rise.
Historically, 20-year yields fall 200–300bps from cycle peaks during recessions. With yields near 5%, there is ample downside room.
2. Federal Reserve Policy Pivot
The Fed’s hiking cycle appears to be at or near its terminal point. Rate cuts in 2025 are increasingly priced in, especially as inflation moderates.
If inflation continues to decelerate toward the Fed’s 2% target while growth slows, the Fed may be forced to ease sooner or more aggressively than expected.
Long-duration bonds, including the 20Y, are highly sensitive to forward rate expectations and would benefit from a dovish pivot.
3. Disinflationary Trends
Core inflation metrics (e.g., Core PCE, Core CPI) are in year-over-year decline.
Key disinflationary forces:
Wage pressures have eased as labor markets normalize.
Housing costs, which lag in CPI data, are projected to fall further.
Supply chain normalization continues post-COVID.
These factors reduce the need for elevated long-term yields, especially with inflation expectations anchored.
4. Supply-Demand Dynamics Favor Treasuries
Despite large Treasury issuance, global demand remains strong:
Foreign buyers (e.g., Japan, EU) seek higher yields as their home rates remain low or negative.
U.S. institutions (pensions, insurance funds) are rebalancing into risk-free long bonds amid equity volatility.
A risk-off rotation or broader de-leveraging cycle would only accelerate this demand.
🔍 Technical Summary
Rising wedge pattern is nearing a potential breakdown — a bearish structure signaling exhaustion.
Price is failing to reclaim the previous uptrend channel, now acting as resistance.
A completed harmonic AB=CD pattern near recent highs suggests a mean-reverting move could be imminent.
Closest technical targets include:
4.33% (23.6% Fib)
3.68% (38.2% Fib)
Possibly even 3.16% (50% retracement) over the next 6–12 months if macro weakness persists.
📌 Bottom Line
The combination of:
Cooling inflation
A Fed pivot on the horizon
Rising recession risk
And technical exhaustion signals
Supports a bearish outlook for 20-year yields, meaning bond prices (especially long-duration instruments like TMF or TLT) could appreciate meaningfully from here.
US10Y Big downside potentialThe U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y) has been since last week on a 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) rebound, consistently rising since the April 04 Low (Support 1). The presence of the Lower Highs trend-line just above it, puts strong selling pressure long-term.
As a result, either now or upon a Lower Highs contact, we expect the US10Y to turn bearish and Target 3.860% (Support 1).

The Ultra Idea : d-MR96nBa's Ultimate Market Journal🌌The Ultra Idea : d-MR96nBa's🌠Ultimate Market Journal🎨
Hello Fellow Travelers
It's been some time since I've posted a Fresh Idea, though I've remained actively trading.
What better way to mark my TradView return, than to start an Ultimate Market Journal.
Financial Markets have taken my deep interest again recently, especially as we seem to be at a time of accelerating change and shifting regimes.
I believe many opportunities abound to those with open, flexible and creative minds.
A bit more about myself.
I've been involved with financial markets in one form or fashion for 18 years now.
I started out like most of us, approaching the game with fundamental analysis, only to later incorporate and then fully graduate to T/A.
I'm a natural Contrarian.
My brand of technical analysis is as much about aesthetics, creative expression, discovering hidden truths and applying Universal Principles as it is running the numbers.
I'm starting this off with Ultra Bond Futures, as UB's are the trading instrument I've come to specialise in, having had the most ongoing consistent success trading.
This by no means is going to be a "I bought here and sold there" type of Journal, as that's not my style.
Nor am I going to focus on a single market instrument, observation or style of analysis.
I'd like this to become a repository of accumulated wisdom and unique market perceptives.
I've just begun contemplating what this may evolve into in time, and I invite you to join me in taking this Leap

Inversion📈📉
Seek out and analyse whatever moves exactly inverse to what you intend to trade.
If you're having trouble discerning trend or observing price patterns, check the inverse.
This can be an excellent technique for exposing Bias.
This can work particularly well for currency traders, though can be Universally applied.
For US Ultra Bonds, the inverse is the US 30 Year Yield

HTZ short idea?NASDAQ:HTZ HTZ is underperformjng the market In a large way today.
With interest rates falling & the IWM rallying to the upside this is a bearish divergence occurring for this ticker.
If HTZ can't rally with the positive conditions it likely means this stock will continue to see some selling pressure.
Understand this is a high risk high flying stock that can have outsized moves.
The 10 Year: When Should We Worry?All over the media eyes are on yields but what exactly do the different potential rates of the 10-year yield mean in terms of debt servicing for the United States? I made this chart to visualize the danger points.
I am not saying I think we will get there I just wanted to know myself and help others to understand what each pain point can mean to the United States economy.
Bond Yields Ripping, Will Wall Street Take Notice?Rising yields can usually be associated with a period of risk on. But seeing the 30-year treasury yield rise over 20bp in Asia while Wall Street futures cling on to their cycle lows is anything but usual. In fact, it's a bad omen of things to come.

US 10yr Treasury Yields Press Against ResistanceThe U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is hovering just beneath the 4.34% resistance level, with price forming a tight ascending triangle just under this key level. Today’s pullback to 4.31% (-0.74%) suggests hesitation from bulls as momentum indicators turn mixed.
🔹 MACD is flat, showing a lack of directional conviction.
🔹 RSI sits at 47.94, neutral and non-committal.
🔹 Price remains sandwiched between the 50-day SMA (4.43%) and the 200-day SMA (4.22%).
A confirmed breakout above 4.34% could open the door for a run toward 4.50% or even 4.80%. Conversely, a drop below the rising trendline (~4.24%) would expose downside risk toward the 200-day SMA.
Watch for a catalyst (Fed commentary or inflation data) to break the deadlock.
