Summary

Trader Todd Horwitz discusses extreme market volatility, warning of a potential meltdown amid rising rates. He sees a sharp yen pullback, lower oil prices, and surging bond yields, while gold and silver are forming bases for a breakout. Tech remains overvalued, but Apple's dip may offer an opportunity.

Markets are extremely volatile but today's light volume raises caution about the rally's sustainability.
The Japanese yen has rallied too fast on intervention and is primed for a sharp short-term pullback.
Crude oil carries a fear premium; Horwitz targets a decline to the mid-$50s and wants to sell rallies.
US long-end yields are headed much higher; he expects the 10-year near 6% and is shorting bond futures.
Gold is building a solid base around $4,000 and may break higher on a short squeeze toward $4,800+.
Silver found a base at $55-$60, presenting a buying opportunity.
The technology sector is not yet safe to buy broadly, but Apple's 12% drop might be worth watching.

Yen pullback imminent after parabolic rally.

The Japanese yen has gone up too fast parabolically after the recent intervention. Markets cannot sustain such vertical moves, and a substantial pullback is imminent in the short term, even if the longer-term trend remains up.

Buy silver at $55-$60 base.

Silver has found a solid base around $55-$60 after its earlier correction. This level is seen as a great entry point to become a buyer again, mirroring gold's base-building behavior.

Sell crude oil rallies, target mid-$50s.

Crude oil is inflated by fear premiums, demand has fallen, and the futures curve shows $20 backwardation. He expects oil to trade back into the mid-50s by year-end and wants to sell rallies around $80-$85.

Short Treasuries, yields heading to 6%.

Strong demand for capital, bad debt, and widening bank spreads will push long-end interest rates much higher. He expects the 10-year yield to reach 6%, with bond futures declining to par. Looking to short 10-year and 30-year futures on any rally.

Gold base and squeeze point to new highs.

Gold has already priced in higher interest rates and is building a solid base around $4,000. Despite reasons for it to fall, it holds, setting up a short squeeze and a breakout toward new highs, potentially above $4,800 by year-end.

Avoid US tech, still overvalued and falling.

The technology sector as a group remains overvalued, has not yet found a bottom, and has plenty of room to fall. It is not time to buy tech broadly.

Apple's dip may be an opportunity.

Apple has taken a hit, down about 12% from its recent high. As an individual name, it might be one to start looking at for a potential opportunity even though the broader tech group is unattractive.
