THE ILLUSION OF FINANCIAL MARKETS

“Running bank trading desks 24/7!”  

Welcome to the Monday version of the latest “shitshow circus”, where nothing 
moves unless there’s a reason for it to move, and that reason given emphasis 
by Pols & Apparatchiks … of course, if their lips are moving they’re lying 
… we all know and understand this … the game isn’t to speak the truth, the 
game is to get markets to move on bullshit that can be taken advantage of and 
profit from as many times as possible … and in today’s markets, big money 
isn’t gonna move unless they feel reasonably assured they aren’t gonna get 
hung out to dry … so, no news, no volume, no liquidity, and markets sit.

As I pointed out yesterday, there isn’t a market out there where its 20 Day 
Range MA is sloping higher … they are ALL pointing lower, meaning volatility 
is getting wrung out of the towel by the banks … probably got some more to go 
before people wave the white flag and give up, and again I’m posting the  
“Brexit” schedule of events directly below … on and around these dates 
there’s likely gonna be fireworks.

GBPJPY downright pitiful today, the third in the last 4 trading days … it’s 
been nothing but melting ice for almost a week … EURJPY slightly better, 
where earlier this morning in early New York there were some small profits to 
be had in either the “volatility call spread strategy” or the “synthetic Christmas 
tree strategy” … at least there was something there, but EURJPY has been 
slow for weeks now, ever since the Yen flash crash on January 3rd.

Oil & the stock indices continue to get wrecked by inaction … the premiums 
here still way too high for any trades … it simply doesn’t make any sense to 
pay for volatility day after day, and then not get it. Monday’s and Friday’s 
being the worst days lately, hopefully tomorrow [Tuesday] sees us move some.

There isn’t anything we can do about the banks manipulations in all of these 
markets … right now, they’re wringing premium volatility out of the 
marketplace … we simply can’t force anything cuz it won’t work … patience 
grasshoppers!

And with that, I’m outta here … until tomorrow mi amigos 
… Onward & Upward!!
 
Have a great day everybody!
