Employment Report Chaos
ADP delivered for the bears, and non-farm for the bulls...washout!
Treasuries suffered significant losses on Thursday at the hands of technical resistance overhead, but more significantly ADP's lofty expectations of the employment picture. However, prices snapped back sharply on news of the government's take on jobs. The result was a massive washout of complacent traders on both sides of the tape. Any trade with un-hedged positions, and less than perfect speculation likely suffered large losses during today's session.
Not only has technical action washed out the weak handed traders ,but it also blew out the chart. Prices are currently at relatively neutral territory with a slightly bullish bias compliments of the close above 149 in the December 30-year bond.
Both the S&P and the U.S. Dollar are near potential reversal levels. We suspect there is a pretty good chance of each of those markets turning the corner, if so, it should provide support to both the 30-year and 10 year. The correlation between the DX and the ZB is currently about 84%.
Don't forget about next week's Treasury auction in the 3 year, 10, year and 30 year as well as the Fed meeting. It should be another exciting week!

Position Trading Recommendations

Bears crushed, bulls chasing prices higher
There was a substantial amount of bearish chatter prior to the events of Thursday and Friday but it was the "buy and holders" that were rewarded. In the current environment government manipulated markets and high levels of speculation, "bad" can really mean "good". That is exactly how the equity market interpreted the latest jobs numbers. The report was bad enough to trigger speculative QE longs, but more importantly forced the bears to cover shorts.
In the case of the equity markets, light volume often opens the door for large rallies simply because the longs are "investors" that have bought into the market and are willing to hold on through thick and thin. The bears, on the other hand, are typically much more active and prone to reacting to the noise. In other words, the actions of the bears have a bigger influence on pricing in light volume.
According to last week's COT data. Large specs had covered most of their short positions. We suspect that today's rally accounted for the remaining. Small speculators were holding net long positions coming into the week and price action seems indicative of some performance chasing. If we are right about these two things, the buying could dry up shortly.
Our chart suggests the rally could get toppy in the mid to high 1430's, with 1445 as a possibility before things roll over.

Day Trading Ideas
These are counter-trend entry ideas, the more distant the level the more reliable but the less likely to get filled
Buy Levels: 1427 (minor), 1421, and 1413
In other markets....
September 4 : Buy a December DX futures contract near 81.65 and purchase an October 81 put for insurance. The max risk = premium paid for put and difference between futures entry and strike price of put (a little over $1,000 before commissions and fees). Profit potential is theoretically unlimited.
