Spooked by the 10-year yields

My system remains on a daily and weekly buy signal. We went close to a weekly and daily combo sell signal on Friday, but escaped by a hair's breadth. I think we should bottom early Monday and take off to the upside again to complete this intermediate rally. Based on the current configuration, i am expecting an intermediate term top to form in about 2 weeks




















What's spooking the market right now is the 10-year yieds challenging the 25 year old declining tops line. If the 10-year yields break out of the channel shown in the chart, then the technical implication is that a long term trend change has occured in the long end of the curve. Now that does not mean the yields will melt up in the next few months or we will bust thru the channel immediately. Such multi-year resistances are generally not taken out in the first attempt. So we may have to challenge this resitance a few times, before we break out. The bond market vigilantes, if they still exist (LOL) have finally awakened from their deep slumber, it seems.

The global liquidity glut has reached insane proportions. My guess is the Fed would increase the rate by 50 basis points in May, just like they did in May 2000 (when they increased from 6 to 6.5). It could be deja vu all over again. Again that's just my guess, which i beleive will be necessary, if they were to avoid a bond market and dollar carnage here. I think the stocks will continue it's sideways to upward bias until this ocean of liquidty is worked off, which will take a while IMO. As long as Gold keeps rallying, the liquidity spigot is alive and well. I think the first shots of waning liquidity will be fired in the emerging markets, the junk bonds and then the Gold markets. It's only then the stock will start a major long term correction. Until then i think we continue with this frustrating sideways to upward grind......
