Dear Members,

07 Dec 2017

In this months Long Short Report I discussed the potential for a US bond rally. Rising bond prices are often associated with a risk off trade because people buy bonds as they sell US stocks, in an asset allocation trade. Yesterday the 30 year bond prices rose again to a new 2 week high. This caused the bond spreads between the short and long end to narrow [also called the flattening of the yield curve], Over the last two months different markets peak at different times. So Europe peaked in Oct and Asia in Nov and the US just made new highs in Dec....and Bitcoin is still making new highs.I write these notes below everyday, but here are some of the posts from today morning.



BitCoin

Bitcoin - In the last post I showed that we are in wave 5, and now wave 5 is extending into i-ii-iii-iv-v, and it fits a channel as shown. down then up once more.

Hang Seng

Hang Seng fell in 5 waves from the upper end of the channel, so apart from a near term bounce back the trend should be down here. The decline is from the upper end of the channel from the 2016 bottom.

S&P

The S&P 500 appears to have completed a 5 wave rise from the August low. We are still to see if the fall is the start of a larger correction, Anticipating initial waves i and ii for now.

DAX

DAX - broke to a new low and paused. It can be considered as wave b of ii. Till the low holds wave c of iii can go up to the 61.8% mark near 13250.

US 30 year T Bonds

US 30 year T bonds moving toward lower yields as they rally again. As discussed in the long short report the trend has changed as wave B is still in formation in a more complex pattern. Wave C of B up maybe in progress that may result in a 5 wave rally.
