LQD Short

LQD just bucked a very important trend line. If investors have indeed lost confidence in corporate debt and we see follow through, then I see this as a bearish signal for stocks too. Typically the bond market is known to be correct over the equity market as large institutions with more knowledge than retail traders deal with bonds directly. To see corporate bonds give up such a well defined, key trend line, is to me a signal to be short not only on LQD but on the markets as a whole. Recently, the ramp up in stock prices was on very low volume and I can count 10 unfilled gaps on the SPY ETF. On the graph, there is one instance where we saw negative divergences but the price corrected in time rather than in price. Here, we could definitely see a correction in price as support now becomes resistance with the trend broken.

I am not taking a short position on LQD directly but I do recommend taking short positions on equities through investment vehicles such as SQQQ (-3 QQQ). I am also considering on buying UGLD (x3 gold) and TMF (x3 US treasuries) as a flight to safety emerges into those safe haven assets.

Ghi chú

LQD back-tested the broken uptrend and was rejected to the downside. This casts more doubt on the exuberant market rally as volume dries up, CNN's fear/greed indicator is in extreme greed mode, and the put to call ratios are heavily skewed towards calls. Everyone is long and doesn't expect the party to ever end.
