ZeroHedge reports, “While a few media outlets had premature releases yesterday, Bloomberg data just confirmed that for the second time this year, 10Y US Treasury yields have crossed 3% (it was 3.005% in Sept 2013) breaking to the highest since July 2011(right before the yield collapse after the US debt-ceiling downgrade debacle). We are sure the media will proclaim this as 'proof' that the recovery is different this time, except the term structure continues to flatten (suggesting less faith in the future) and to spice things up 30Y mortgage rates have surged to 4.63% - almost the highest since May 2011 - but again, apparently, this won't affect the housing recovery either (even though mortgage apps are down two-thirds from their highs).”

Meanwhile WTIC just crossed $100.00. Notice the similarity between WTI and TNX?

Again, ZeroHedge comments, “As the 10Y broke solidly through 3.00% so precious metals began to move and after testing $20 in Silver overnight a few times, both gold and silver have just run stops through key levels and are jumping like Twitter (or Bitcoin) for a few minutes. WTI Crude has also just broke $100.”

This may change a lot of expectations for a recovery.

Gold is finishing a correction to its decline, which may resume today or Monday.

SPX appears to have broken its Ending Diagonal formation. Cycle Top support is at 1839.68 and the Orthodox Broadening Top trendline is at 1837.00. A break of these levels will suggest an aggressive SPX sell signal.

VIX is above its lower Triangle trendline. This is an initial sign of a reversal. Confirmation comes at the crossing of the 50-day moving average at 13.52. Trendline support may be tested before VIX makes a move above the 50-day moving average.

I don’t think that the NYSE Hi-Lo index will confirm the SPX sell signal today. I will report back when it does.

Regards,

Tony
