I got a call from a Japanese brokerage today.
"The exchange (NYSE?) has requested that we cancel a very high limit of $AMC"
LOL!๐คฃ๐๐คฃ
Has anyone else received a similar request from a brokerage firm?
$AMC
Bessent is in panic mode... he intervened to support the yen.
To prevent Japan from selling even more US assets, he joined Japan in a massive coordinated intervention.
But instead of selling USD, the US sold EUR.
To keep this war going, the US has to bail out major holders of US assets to prevent them from selling... especially Treasuries.
The US simply can't afford this war, which is why it only escalates when markets are closed.
๐จ $GMEโS TAPE JUST WENT ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR.
โข 217,000 shares โ $4.66M
โข 155,700 shares โ $3.34M
โข 103,800 shares โ $2.23M
โข 103,800 shares โ $2.22M
Thatโs 580,300 shares worth nearly $12.5 MILLION across just four massive prints. ๐
And this all happened while a 3,500-contract 2028 $25 call trade hit the tape.
Something BIG was being positioned or hedged into the close.
This is not normal retail flow. ๐ฅ $GME
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. California will hit tank bottoms for jet and diesel by July 4th.
The Asian import arbitrage is dead, local refining is tapped, and none of this is reversible for 12-18 months.
Could this be the Energy Crisis' Lehman moment?
All we are waiting for now is the Korean Kospi to spontaneously explode like a $4.5 trillion DotCom stock.
Just two 3x leveraged stocks make up 50% of the index market cap. Yes, you read that right.
Oil futures were trading at ~91.5$ when Trump lied about lifting the naval blockade on Friday
Oil futures were trading at ~103$ since the peace deal agreement was โimminentโ 2 WEEKS AGO
These people arenโt just suppressing prices, they are manufacturing an epic โblack swanโ
๐จ THIS IS NOT GOOD
Oil just collapsed.
Prices dropped over 6% in the last 30 minutes.
Reports say Iran sent a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
But hereโs the problem: nothing is confirmed. No deal has been signed.
The market is pricing peace before peace exists.
Billions of dollars wiped out.
We are approaching an extreme statistical event.
Something that almost never happens without serious consequences.
More value erased in minutes than the annual GDP of most European countries.
We have officially entered the FORCED LIQUIDATION PHASE.
This is what a liquidity vacuum looks like.
Funds are being margin-called.
Theyโre selling oil just to survive.
And if this peace headline fails, the reversal will be violent.
Do not hand them your wealth.
Remember, Iโve been in finance for more than 15 years.
When I EXIT the markets completely, Iโll say it here publicly, like I always do.
Many people will wish they followed me sooner.
So oil now tanks to 91$ - while so many people think it's SoH reopening, I think that's not really this reason.
The reason behind it is the fact that China/Asia economic problems have already spilled over to India and knocking to Europe (and EURUSD).
When last time oil hit 148$ - we'll use my favorite cycle indicator SPX/GOLD - that's the moment where we are NOW from technical point of view.
The other fact is let's take this time US30Y on key 5.15% level.
Another one is US02Y retesting (M)MA50 from the bottom, a little bit above but markets are closed today and I bet this (M)MA50 level will be hold as a resistance.
And we're still closing "SECULAR DISINFLATIONARY CYCLE" - mechanism here is totally different than "SECULAR INFLATIONARY CYCLE" (70s). Inflation during inflationary cycle <> inflation during disinflationary cycle.
For example during secular inflationary cycle gold was raising when yields were raising too. Now gold raising when yields going down (and I bet this rule belongs only to US yields).
And if we take a look on BIG CYCLE WHEEL, we see "BONDS AFTER INTEREST RATE SPIKE". Key word is "AFTER".
That's where technicals are. What the future will bring us we'll see.
The last 3 major market crashes all coincided with CPI crossing above 3.8%.
Dot-com: โ49%.
Financial crisis: โ57%.
2022 rate hike selloff: โ25%.
CPI is approaching that level again and S&P is sitting near all time highs.
Fun fact โ ๏ธ: Every time the spread between 30-year JGBs and 30-year US Treasuries started to shrink sharply, the World experienced a major financial crisis
- 2008: GFC
- 2012: European Debt
- 2020: Covid
What's very worrying today is that it is shrinking while yields rise ๐
This is the most important chart on the internet right now.
NASDAQ 100. Monthly. 30,000.
The Century Mark is about to get tagged after a 200% run.
2000 dot-com top. 2008 housing top. 2026 everything top.
10,000 looks likely๐ชฆ
๐จINDIA STOCK MARKET A SEA OF RED AFTER PM MODI TRIGGERS A PANIC TO BUY GOLDโ ๏ธ
๐จINDIA PM MODI MAKES NATIONAL ADDRESS CALLING ON INDIANS TO HALT GOLD PURCHASES FOR AT LEAST A YEAR TO PROTECT INDIAโS FX RESERVES
๐ฅIndians are responding by dumping stocks to stock up on GOLD:
๐จ THE TACO TRADE JUST PLAYED OUT FOR THE FIFTH TIME.
And we predicted it yesterday.
The 10 year yield was at 4.44% yesterday, 6 basis points away from the level that has forced Trump's hand four times already. We said something big would be announced. It took less than 15 hours.
Two announcements came in today.
First, Trump paused Project Freedom. Oil dropped from $102 to $99 instantly.
Then at 14:30, reports broke that the US and Iran are closing in on a one page memo to end the war. Iran pauses enrichment, accepts UN inspections, and curbs underground nuclear sites.
The US eases sanctions and releases frozen assets. Both sides loosen Strait of Hormuz restrictions.
Oil crashed from $99 to $93.90 in a single candle. 8% crash in one session.
No deal is signed yet, Iran has 48 hours to respond.
But the 10 year yield approaching 4.5% has now triggered a major market moving announcement five times in 13 months.
Same level, Same playbook, Fifth time.
BREAKING:
The U.S. economy just matched its 2008 Financial Crisis low.
The ratio of leading to coincident economic indicators.
0.84.
Identical to the worst financial collapse in generation.
The Leading Economic Index has fallen 7 out of the last 8 months.
5 consecutive annual declines.
The longest streak ever recorded.
In the past this level has never occurred outside of a recession.
Never. Not once.
Meanwhile stocks are hitting all-time highs.
The economy and the stock market.
Moving in completely opposite directions.
One of them is wrong.
And history says it's not the economy.
