https://youtu.be/r7AqarUjZS8 Gianni Di Poce retired the oldest rule in the market today. The Fed sits still. The Treasury moves the money. Scott Bessent keeps intervening at the long end of the curve. Gianni reads those actions as liquidity by another name, not far off from QE. His update to the mantra is simple. Don’t fight the Treasury in 2026. The positioning underneath makes it dangerous. A huge short position sits in the 10-year note while commercial traders quietly build longs. The 30-year caught a fresh bid as futures rolled into the December contract. Gianni calls that chart ripe for a squeeze. Crude oil adds the confirmation. It sits in backwardation into April and May of next year. Gianni wants to see crude finish the month near $75 a barrel by Monday’s close. The dollar and oil move together, so both point lower from here. A softer dollar with cheaper crude

https://youtu.be/sORxBvVD3NA Monday looked like nothing happened. Brandon Chapman pulled up the tape and found one trade that quietly ran the entire session. 2.3 million shares printed at 763.96 on the SPY. Nothing that size crossed during regular trading hours, so Brandon reads it as a dark pool fill. That number became the map. It acted as resistance, then support, then support again, then it finally broke. Brandon expects 764 to keep working the same way all week. It acts as support above and resistance below. Above it sat a wall. Roughly 19,000 contracts stacked at the 765 strike, and every push into that level got sold back down. The floor at 760 never got touched. The S&P 500 spent the day inside a 30 point range because of those two barriers. Friday’s expiration redraws the board. 770 becomes the upside level. 760 becomes the downside trigger, with 750 sitting underneath

The Treasury fired a monetary weapon straight at the bond market on Wednesday. Bonds took the hit and kept selling anyway. That single act of defiance sets up what could be one of the greatest trades of this decade. Here’s the sequence. The Treasury announced it would support liquidity and buy the long end of the curve, which forces 30 year rates lower. It worked for exactly one day. Rates dropped from 5.3 to 5.2, then rallied right back the following session. The bond vigilantes are loose. These rates simply do not care. You have to go back roughly two decades to find 30 year rates this high. The 10 year is pressing 4.75 and sits within a tenth of a point of its highs. That 10 year matters more than anything on your screen. It sets your mortgage, and it’s about to break out. The Fed is pulling the

The S&P 500 broke its channel and closed lower. Metals, mining, and energy were the only groups left standing. Blake Young sees the Chaikin accelerating. Money is distributing out of equities right now. He’s watching for a drift toward 736 from here. Every other sector finished negative today. Even basic materials closed below yesterday. Look closer at that group though. XLB gapped down and closed up, and it has defended the same range since March. Blake’s thesis starts with the Treasury. If it buys up bonds, inflation hedges get bid and metals prices follow. He wants gold on a pullback. He is not buying it today. Copper is the cleaner setup. It held its ground without rallying, which is exactly the kind of tape he wants to sell puts into. That’s the whole approach right now. Get paid while volatility rises everywhere else. Here is what he walked through in
