And it’s off to the races! The 5 day cycle up phase finally found some momo. Who knows why? And who cares? Why does why matter? Every day its something different, and tomorrow it will be contradictory. There’s only one why that counts. That is that there’s more money available today than there was yesterday.

So we look at the ES 24 hour S&P futures hourly chart and see that it has broken out again. But the 5 day cycle projection now is only 5770 and we’re there. There’s also resistance indicated here. On the other hand, the hourly oscillators are very bullish and probably support an extension of the move. If they clear 5775, there’s room to run to 5792 by the NY close. At that point, the round number syndrome calls.

There are a couple of things to watch. One is that the September T-bill paydowns have ended. These are regular quarterly occurrences that happen when quarterly estimated income tax collections come in. The US Treasury briefly has an excess of cash, and pays down outstanding T-bills. Those are direct cash infusions into dealer and big investor accounts, and they’re virtually always bullish. That prop now goes away until December. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

The other factor is that the Fed’s RRP slush fund has rebounded as a result of those paydowns, and the stupidity of quarter end window dressing. Much of that spike will disappear on October 1. Then we’ll see how much investable cash remains in the RRP facility, so that we can get a better idea of when that fund will run out of cash, and stop acting as a prop for asset prices. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

I continue to estimate that it will effectively run out of money in xxxxxxxxxxx, or xxxxxxxxx at the latest. That’s when we’ll find out whether animal spirits are sustainable on the basis of repo borrowing alone, along with the attendant increase in leverage. Non-subscribers, click here for access.
