Everything is a currency

why do u see those huge overnite moves?

#Swap's
Here is an example - TSLA earnings met but there were some problems so stonk dropped.

But it dropped relative to YESTERDAYS currencies.

Today?

DXY is down a bit.

Notice what happened to the stonk relative to currency.
This morning, of course another #SWAP

The euro strengthened(1)
The dxy weakened (2)
I expect a pop in the indexes (3) on the open

its all currencies doing this

But keep an eye on the 30y (blue) its going up. Everything follows the 30y eventually. A swap coming to correct today
In between everything else in this "market" you are working against:
a) cb money games
b) corp malfeasance
c) supply shock
d) rising interest rates
e) vol sellers slurping theta
f) fintwit "influencers"
g) cnbc shills
And know that i am of the strong opinion you must do swaps, ideally iron condors or at least butterfly's to protect from theta decay and rot of vix due to swaps.

See here - notice the vix vs dxy

Its not TIGHT correlation but there seems to be influence.

U don no when swaps hit
Another observation - say you have a loan on a 10m office building.
you got the loan at 2%.
Well that sucks rn cause interest rates are way higher.
So, you want the arb on the interest rate - so you "swap" interest rate w/ higher, and they pay lower.

Banksters will bankster.
sorry - spreads

In a currency war, you win by out "devaluing" your currency vs your trading partner.

You do this to gain market advantage - your products become CHEAPER than your competitor, killing your competitors industry.

The white line is china - when the white line goes up (9 of them) china devalued.

Notice that giant plunge near #4?

Notice the yellow line - thats global liquidity - and its inverted - so you can clearly see central bank interventions and its impact on the chinese currency.

G7 loaded up on debt, and out china'ed china....

Lately they stopped - because inflation now is raging.
🧵👇Image
Remember - currencies are a RATIO.

So when chinas currency goes up on this chart - it gets WEAKER relative to USD.

Which means the USD gets STRONGER.

Stronger USD = bad for US exports, particularly to china.

It means China wins global trade vs US because everything is so cheap.Image
Tariffs equalize trade and offset this nonsense.

Tariffs make this cheap chinese export due to currency games less competitive.

US cannot control what china does, but it can control what it imports from china.

Lets build -this is a short one, but if you been following a while, you know my view that the vix has been sanitized thru currencies (and suppressed)

Here is tech stonk - ndx.

🧵👇 Image
add uvix - now a 1:1000 instrument after all the reverse splits - used to suppress long dated vix premium.

Uvix was launched 3 years ago to this day, 1 month after the poot invaded ukraine.

I firmly believe its a war powers entity designed to protect the stonk market. Image
Oil producers currencies.

On this chart - purple down means their currency got VERY strong relative to mexico (I use mexico to remove USD influence)

Notice the correlation to stonk..... Image

Lets build.

This is the vix.

I am drawing it mid page for a reason - and you will see why shortly.
🧵👇 Image
This is dxy and the vix.

No, the dxy is NOT the dollar - dxy is a "basket of currencies" mostly made up of the euro-pee

2nd chart zoomed in - notice the drop in dxy is associated with drop in vix - so what happened? Image
Image
The green line is the euro-pee
2nd chart zoomed in - do you see it?

Theres all this talk "money goes home" which is true, but not for the reason people think....

It was to bring down that vix thru currency channel - green line down, EUR stronger, USD weaker.

usd weaker - vix--

make sense?Image

Remember - central banks do not take losses.

Thru the wizardry of "legal accounting definitions" losses are called "deferred assets"



🧵👇 federalreserve.gov/pubs/feds/2013…Image
In 2011 the federal reserve began to be an activist / interventionist organization.

For the first time ever they started having some excesses and they would send "remittances" back to the US treasury.

Something happened during covid..... Image
The remittances started under the Bernank.

This is the dxy.

it is not "THE DOLLAR"

DXY is a basket of currencies heavily weighted and skewed towards the EURO.

This is a vix and currency thread.
👇🧵 Image
Here is the vix - notice on the left that as the DXY went up the vix began to follow and was suddenly kneecapped in march 2022?

Thats when UVIX and SVIX were launched.

But everytime the DXY spiked you got a spike in the vix

Verticle dotted lines show a few of them. Image
Enter my calculated vix.

I modeled the vix to see where the vix should be based on yields.

Notice again the detach as of march 2022

1/(BATS:HYG/(BATS:UUP-(1/(TVC:US30Y*5+TVC:US20Y*4+TVC:US10Y*3+TVC:US05Y*2+TVC:US01Y)*100-FX:USDCAD*100)*100/2)*10000) Image

This is a currency thread.

And for many of you, this will answer a LOT of questions....

I am going to start very slow and basic - by the time im done you will be a currency expert.

Lets explain this simply.

CocaCola.

CocaCola company produce lots of cocacola expecting holiday demand. They double production.

And lets say the demand didnt materialize - economy bad, people lose jobs or whatever.

What happens to price of cocacola?

It goes down.
Now take the inverse.
Cocacola - UNDERPRODUCES - expecting holiday demand to be very low so the market is UNDERSUPPLIED with cocacola.

But government decide to give everyone free digital money that can only be spent on cocacola.

What happen to demand? Explode higher.
Price moon.
