MOC 2B to the buy side

SAVA Degenerates; there's some unusual volume on this weeks C20. They're supposed to announce Q2 earnings this week so they might give an update on the clinical trials. Might just be shorts hedging, but it's a cheap lotto ($30).
Am I wrong in thinking that the prediction with the highest probability of success would be regression back towards the 10DMA and then decision from there?$30,000 Millionaire said:

Treasury Shorts Smoked... Pelosi to Land in Taiwan at 10.20 AM Est..Eq GS Vs JPM
The world is focused on tracking the Air Force Jet bringing Speaker Pelosi to Taiwan, which is expected to land at 10.20 Am EST... Equity markets in China were down 2% this am... We doubt China will do more than Sabre Rattling, but the equity markets have some fear built in as S+P are lower, but not significantly...US S+P futures bottomed just moments ago at 6.32 am, at 4083... Now up about 15 points from that low... Meanwhile we continue to see large blocks of 5 year futures buying... The 2/5 inversion is the most since 2000... Similarly, the 2/10 inversion record is minus 51, from that same time frame... That inversion is near its recent record of -32... We think legacy treasury shorts are still significant and will drive the curve flatter and more inverted.
Fed... Zoltan Poznar is out with a piece saying that the Fed has to get to 5-6% Fed Funds to conquer inflation... We agree to a point, but our level is closer to north of 4%... And we are not sure we will get there, but that would mean the Fed has to live with 4% inflation rather than 2% inflation.. Meanwhile WIRP still is only building in a little over 50 for September and 25 for November... Maybe December as well.. That would put the Fed at 3% to 3.25%... Can't fine tune it for now, too many data points to anticipate... As for the Fed... We have speakers today, but we do not expect much... Rates are being determined by flows and positions... And as we said correctly last week, the next moves will be done to those that have the most to lose... The short positions in treasuries and more than likely the short volatility players in equities
Rates...10 year is at our resistance of 2.55... It got as low at 2.51 overnight on the Pelosi fear trade... We see 10 years breaking 2.50 and possibly going to 2.375, depending on the employment trade on Friday... Not a great set up for this weeks auctions... As for long bonds , they have taken out the 2.94 resistance and now are now looking at 2.82, the level it reversed from earlier this year when it reached 3.40... This is now a rates war... 5/10/30 are all on a path to lower yields which will smoke out legacy shorts...5 years should break 2.57 on the way to 2.38... As the 2/5 inversion will set records... The 3 month/10 year is only 12 basis positive for now... Stagflation is here...
Equities... It is Goldman versus JPM in the morning press... Cecilia Mariotti sent us and others a piece overnight where GS thinks the equity markets have gotten ahead of themselves and thinks the equity markets are vulnerable to hawkish surprises... Kolanovic of JPM stands firm in his belief that stocks will continue to head higher... We hate to be bears, but we think equities will start to reverse towards the end of this month and it will be a tough September... Earlier today Javier Blas sent out a chart showing the 1 year ahead baseload electricity prices in Germany traded at EUR 400/MWH... While we do not know the average that seems very high, panicky high... That will not be good for Europe.
Credit... Aaa Apple had massive demand for their 5.5 billion dollar deal yesterday... Order book was in excess of 23 billion... We had not realized that Moody's had upgraded Apple to AAA back in December... Missed that... The rest of the corporate space came with a total of 8 issuers and 15.35 billion of IG debt... And Barclays came with another 2 billion of Hybrid debt that was not part of the IG trade... All went smoothly...but spreads are starting to widen again... We are not sure how or when the window will close... But we are in choppy times...
So where do we go next?... Looks like lower rates and a flatter or more inverted curve... Equities will remain choppy on the Pelosi trade... And the employment number at the end of the week has the potential for more fireworks... We have jolts data at 10 am... A key number for Jay Powell....We will be watching the most tracked aircraft in the world... Almost 300,000 users are following the move of "Spar19" a US Air Force Plane Boeing C-40C, according to FlightRadar24... But at the end the flows will dominate the Pelosi trade... Have a good day
I'm seeing a 10DMA test if we give up the 5DMA on the SPY. Barely any supply to stop it from testing the 10DMA if it gives up the 5Spoony Love said:
We may see some fireworks over Taiwan but I agree with you on the sideways movement. I'm seeing a trading range on SPY of 408-414

Think I'm gonna grab some uvxy calls a week or so out
I'll take $1.30 on the SPY bounce and call it a day for now. I have my alerts set so if it gives up 407.6, I'll look to short a little with a target at 401.5 areaIrish 2.0 said:
Watch 407.7 area for a bounce on the SPY. Not sure how much of a bounce it will give, but I'd keep the stop relatively tight just because of how much room down there is to the 10DMA
Most of those weekly C20s were day trades yesterday. Over 3,000 in volume and only 800 OI today. I sold mine for $52 this morning (+73%). Still holding shares and 1/2024 C120/150 spreads.Bob Knights Liver said:Triple_Bagger said:

I've mentioned before that I opened a bunch of GTC SAVA 1/2024 call credit spreads at various stokes, that would Mac out at 100:1 payout. The five $120/$150 spreads executed this morning. There's something going on with SAVA. It may simply be earnings anticipation, but something is up.
