The more the market runs, the stronger the economy is, the more we’ll get interest rate rises, and Quantitative Tightening (QT).
This is the opposite of the FED PUT aka Quantitative Easing (QE), where they PROVIDE LIQUIDITY.
3/ That's why 🥐said in a TDA pod a few months ago to be careful thinking that this next rally will be a secular one. He is of the opinion that FED will continue to reduce liquidity which will decrease equity $, but in a manner that is controlled and not volatile to🔪 inflation.
4/ I also remember in other pods/interviews, 🥐 mentioned that he believes the FED will eventually lose control over the long end of the curve, that they're still in a box.
Eventually, inflation will come roaring back and the FED will have to throw haymakers again.
5/ Will we see that happening?
I’ve said in a previous thread: #Bigflip movement is essentially what Cem has been preaching for a couple YEARS now.
He’s been spot on thus far with most major macro moves AND market moves.
Nobody knows the future 100% but... We’ll see!
6/ As far as how to play this:
I remember in prior TDA pod, he mentions you want to play along with the FED.
IF market rallies higher (no directional call here), write calls with the fed.
Sell calls to own longer dated puts.
Somebody can link that interview for reference.

HAPPY LORD'S DAY Brothers and sisters!
A couple weeks' worth of break from 🧵, seeing less trolls and 🤡like @1929Trader (who's been absolutely getting SMOKED since shorting 3500)
and I am refreshed for another of the "Weekly LULZ"
You asked (2 of you). I deliver.
See 🧵👇:
Disclaimer:
Most of the thread will be analyzed from prior 🥐pods/tweets. This is just how I am critically thinking of his insights.
Even wit the whole 20d system, I was too naive in thinking it was a surefire system, so adjusted as you can see:
1/ People asked where 👸🦥were when we were declining this week. They were there from Tuesday!
Remember, these flows are IMMUTABLE. They come in regularly scheduled at EOM/BOM and get progressively stronger as we head into OPEX!
Those early AM and EOD pushes were them at work!
1/ Changed view:
Normally, I'd short here if I STRICTLY adhered to this system, but given more learning/research... seems like indices declined ~5% from OPEX highs in 🪟 of non💪, and vol has not 🚀.
🪟still open, but if you were short ~4200, I'd take profits by Fri if no ⬇️momo.
2/ I scaled in long, still waiting for PCE Fri (which could get ugly).
But important support seems to be at
-50 dma
-3950
I'd say if those are breached closed AND vol up, then I'd be scared. RN, I'm buying this dip hand over fist.
People overly bearish but..
⏲️is not a 🐻friend.
3/ This is just my PERSONAL play.
For those curious:
SPY 415c/425c Mar 31
Not a 🥐endorsed or fed endorsed play lel.
Just want to test out if I'm interpreting what I've learned correctly.
And it's SMALL scale ins. I don't full port anymore guys. <3
Synopsis 🧵of TDA interview today...
Note*: Nothing really new from what 🥐has talked about before.
1/ We're in window of non-strength. (Not necessarily weakness). These predictable flows of Vanna and Charm (when they are strong, when they are weak) are IMMUTABLE.
2/ The window (started yesterday 02/15/23) goes til about 02/28.
It's usually the Wed of OPEX til the week or week and a half AFTER OPEX because there are the (again) predictable flows of Vanna 👸and Charm 🦥returning at End of Month(EOM)/Beginning of Month (BOM).
3/ So for the next week and a half essentially, the onus is on the 🐻. The ball is on their court to really start a strong and decisive move down by tomorrow after the AM print (after SPX AM settlement). Ideally, you want to see a move BELOW the 20d sma with force by CLOSE.
Hi brothers and sisters of the 🥐fam, before an update 🧵...
If you've made any money from my help, would you be so kind as to pay it forward by helping people in Turkey & Syria?
I'm liquidating a lot of my RH port now (taxes, but also for donations).
1dte calls (OR PUTS) was indeed NOT the play.
Volcrush.exe for the second straight CPI in a row.
This CPI was a "meh" as I thought it'd be.
This was not a good CPI by any metric...
But it wasn't the WORST case either.
2/ I can disclose now that the play has somewhat materialized....
"Vol unwind" should have been pretty obvious.
VIX puts was how I was positioned "long."
When people are neck deep into puts (they're short) in ANTICIPATION of an EVENT, vol is bid up
(e.g., EVENT VOL).
Happy LORD's Day brothers and sisters!
"Giga 🐂 idiot" here w/ early gift bc tmr SUPER BOWL!
Next week surely is NOT as easy as every FinTwit furu wants you to believe.
So many differences in opinions/analyses...
Let's try to think about this critically 🥐style.
See below 🧵:
1/ Recap:
Mostly everything 🥐talked about, has played out for the past couple months. More recently, we've squeezed shorts heavily into an area that once was thought unreachable (past the MOAT, 200d sma).
However, the FED was hellbent on preventing moar...
2/ After JPOW nothing burger, which propped up equities back to ~4190, numerous FED speakers came out and all reiterated essentially the H4L (coined by dampedspring - follow him, won't tag bc of notifs) "Higher For Longer" rhetoric.
Gm folks: 1/ Getting a few trolls for me being a "giga bull"
but also some legitimate questions like below.
Again, I will reiterate that I am not in Zee Puts. I am not largely in positions.
Full positions:
-some long positions that were bought eod yesterday
-OTM put hedges
2/ Did I miss Zee Puts?
-Mmm no. They're still offside unless you took them at the TOP (~4200). In which case, good job! Kudos to you guys! You're nimble~
Is it too late for Zee Puts?
-IMO, no. So I'm not fretting here.
Am I remaining bullish?
-Believe it or not. Yes.
3/ "Why?"
-I try to approach everything now from the 🥐research that I've done. The 20d on close hasn't been breached. And from what I know and have posted, these are important markers. Once breached, then trend following, vol selling strategies can exacerbate downside.
