Bond Rate Regime shift

We’ve moved significantly higher in bond yield rates post the FOMC meeting on Wed. of last week.  We blew through 1.40% and now even premarket we are trading above 1.5% on the 10 year. THis is going to pressure tech and bubble names and favor the cyclicals, banking, re-opening, reflation names. Although they may very well underperform, I think mega cap tech does ok as these names have great earnings support unlike the bubble names that are long big dreams, but short on actually earnings.

Traders should focus attention on the Small caps continue to work higher. My expectation is for price to hold $224 on any pull back and to test $233 / $234 on the upside.  THe key to the thesis is for a gentle rise in rates and at the very least rates holding 1.3% on the 10 year.   If rates break hard below 1.3% it will be a big headwind to the IWM trade.  Another potential headwind is for covid to re-emerge to the front page of the headlines throwing cold water on the re-opening trade.

$USO OIL ETF

Weekly breakout into a big volume/ price void points to big upside potential to 70. I like the idea of being long against 50.
