thx PT, there's definitely some resistance here. trying to see if we're gonna retest the rising trendline. in retrospect not the best thought out trade lol {image}
That trend line will very likely be tested, but I think it need to base out to find buyers.
Hard to buy right at resistance, and now it's a bit late in the day.

It may even manifest itself via a weekend retail gap.

Regardless, we may have already topped. Trend lines are not always retested to the pip. In fact, multiple failures to reach is often a confirmation that a top/bottom is in.

I think the markets are already confused about the Fed's intentions. It was very clear when the treasury yields rallied on a hint that the taper may start by the end of 2013 even though it was made abundantly clear that rates would not rise until UE was at or below 6.5%. So what difference would it make if they said 6.0% instead?

Well, labor force participation is lowest in 30 years.

http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2...onthly&fam=avg

One would expect it to pick up when labor market picks up so that would actually increase the unemployment rate. Bringing UE down to 6% would imply 0% rates for much further into the future than the market currently expects.

Last spike was due to fed funds spike due to factoring of earlier than expected increase in short term rates not taper.

Now, we would expect the opposite unless and until the bond market starts to discount in stronger than expect labor market or inflation.

And why was there an expectation of an earlier increase?
Was it not because the markets thought that a taper would bring about an earlier rate increase?

Yes, exactly PT. Market freaked out that Fed was more hawkish than previously indicated and no one wants to be the last one out the door. I did not buy it at the time based on data, but that is what market did.

Now, Fed is signaling although they would like to taper it is still data dependent and in addition, they are not only willing to keep rates at 0 but keep them at zero for longer than previously expected.

Okay so here's my take and why I feel taper is going to raise real rates immediately.

The Fed and recently Yellen in her confirmation hearing have been harping on data dependency.
Therefore the signal is that if taper starts it means that economy is able to float on its own without the heroin drip.
At that point you get the same effect... Nobody wants to be the last one out the door.

So no matter what they say about rates tied to a lower UE than originally stated, there will still be a rush for the exits.
