13th September - The US Bond market is poised

MONTHLY CHART
The very long-term 10 year TNote chart remains very sobering: not only has the market broken the long run diagonal from 1999, but also the lows of 2013/14 to complete a top formation.
But the sideways price action since the beginning of 2018 may have lulled some into a sense of false security….
WEEKLY CHART
If so, then the week chart is a good antidote: note the formation of a clear bear continuation triangle - at the likely moment of completion.
All that is required a close beneath the lower diagonal currently at 119.43 or so ( Dec 18 contract.)
If the triangle completes, a minimum measured bear move down to 116.50 looks likely. That move itself would be significant but in the context of the longer term chart, it would re-emphasise the long-term bear market.
But wait for the weekly close…
