TLT: Bonds No Longer Safe?

Short
NASDAQ:TLT   Ishares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF
TLT has appears to have completed a long term Ending Diagonal spanning almost 10 years.
The first signs of breakdown appeared in 07/2017 when the 20 year bonds sold off to a near 2 year low at $116.49.
The recovery since then was tepid and choppy.

Prices have appeared to completed a W-X-Y consolidation at lower time frames and appear ready to continue its larger trend downwards.

We do not rule out a more complex pattern in progress resulting in one more high before resuming its larger trend.
However, the near term sell down analysis remains the operative one.

A decisive break down of its recent low in $116.49 will bring utmost confidence that the down trend is in full flow.
