Another Pusher Higher for Treasury Yields?
Treasury yields have been falling since October as traders look for inflation to cool. But now there could be signs of a rebound.
This chart of the 10-year Treasury note’s yield highlights the series of lower highs in November and December. TNX kept squeezing downward in January, but this month jumped back above the trendline. Is the period of consolidation ending? If so, will the longer-term uptrend resume?
Second, notice the slightly lower lows in January and early February. The resulting trendline has a weaker downward slope than the higher line along the highs. That’s formed something of a descending wedge -- a potential reversal pattern pointing to the upside.
Third, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) made higher lows at the same time TNX made slightly lower lows. Some chart watchers may consider that a non-confirmation of the lows, or positive divergence. Again, such an interpretation would point to the upside.
Finally, yields have remained above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) in green. They’ve also returned above the 50-day SMA. Neither of those facts point to yields going lower.
