To be quite honest I say  when comes to trading the markets " who cares what Putin did"

I think this is what makes market price structures  and market cycles fascinating, as they are the language of the markets and give clues to the potential of triggers before they even happen.

The problem with triggers like war or even other economic triggers is that sometimes when they occur they move the market a lot and other times they don't.  The market patterns are a painting of the collective human growth system.


We as traders need to be in front of the market and try and anticipate these potential moves. The declining wedge or (ending diagonal)  in the 10 yr yield was about 5 years in the making. it's very hard to time such long term pattern exactly especially when it's ending a 40 year bear market in interest rates. But we can see it's developing and that change is coming.


Interestingly economists now talking about stagflation over the next 10 years similar to the 1970's . This is a disater for mum and dad buy and holders, better a deep and brief crash. Personally  I don't think it will be another lost decade but rather lost decades.....
