US 2y Note yield: 1,256 %
German 2y Schatz yield: -0,808 -> yes, it is still deep negative :-)
Spread between the two markets are at highs, trading around 205 basis points.
Reasons we all know: FED started to hike, while ECB is still sticking to its NIRP and QE policies. However this will change one day, and then the spread collapse will be quick and sharp.
Technicals to watch:
Weekly:
- Bullish trend, which means US2y being sold while Schatz is still extremely strong bid, so the spread goes wider, more positive.
- Ichimoku is bullish, but the spread is a bit distant from its 180 bps equilibrium.
- Heikin-Ashi shows indecision. A doji candle this week, haDelta crossed up, haDelta+ has not yet as that reacts later. All quantification tools are below their center lines.
- EWO is bullish
- Depending on next few weeks price actionaround Tenkan Sen (green line - 9 weeks average), there is some possibility for a small H&S pattern to develop. (unless it spikes much higher above Tenkan)
Daily:
- Ichimoku is neutral: Price is in the Kumo cloud, between flat Tenkan and Kijun. Tenkan and Kijun are also at the level of the cloud. Forward Kumo is thin.
- Price retested Kumo from the highs, now we see some consolidative spike back to Kijun. Not bullish until the spread holds below 210-213 bps.
- Watch Heikin-Ashi signals and price action in the red rectangle. A break below 200 bps could open space to spread tightenning towards the 180 bps weekly equilibrium.
haOscillator looks topish, haDelta may turn lower as well.
- EWO is bearish: my basic approach is that until price is below Kijun and EWO is red, I only look to sell spikes to supp/res levels. Yesterday I managed to put on a small short at 209 bps. I will size it up in case of a lower break below 200 bps.
The big short on this spread is still far away. That will only happen when ECB really steps on the break and rises base rate back to at least 0 %. But a small short might be around the corner.
