FRED:MORTGAGE30US   30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Average in the United States
30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Monthly

Well I guess I'm glad my mother-in-law's basement isn't a total dungeon.. What's sunlight? I'm familiar with grass because that's eye level when I'm looking out our window. Big brother JP, the head of the Fed, says rates aren't going anywhere any time soon, and we've all heard the fear mongering of 8% mortgages coming. Why would anyone want a house when you can load up on lumber and build a tiny home on your in-laws side lot? Life hack; build one in your parents backyard and you have a vacation home. Well lets all hold hands because the mongerers might be on to something.

Chart / RSI / Momentum

Rates previously pierced an important level of resistance (Red Solid) back in October and topped out just north of seven percent. Fast forward ten months and we're back retesting the same level, but this time we have a golden cross (Highlighted); a first on this chart. The RSI has also broken back above 70 level, indicating the strength of the trend to continue, and invalidating the previous bearish divergence (Teal Solid). After breaking past a previous level of significant resistance, Momentum has broken past it's previous peak (Teal Dotted) and continued it's trend higher; another indication of a strong trend.

What Seems Legit?

30-Year rates crackin' nine percent because everything is signaling us higher.
