A Slow and Steady Move Lower

nG1F8qa

After a few failed bounces, Treasuries are pushing lower again this morning. It is still too early for me to declare that the great bond rally of 2014 is over, but for over two weeks now I have been short Treasuries again via long TBT TMV instruments.

As far as where we go from here, the TLT (straight-up ETF for Treasuries) daily chart suggests this moment is a big one, with the 50-day moving average (darker blue line) likely needing to hold to avoid a test of the lower Bollinger Band.

If, in fact, this is the end of the bond rally, then the downside momentum should build from here as bonds become and stay oversold for quite some time.

        jeez, it’s been a tough trade, if it can hop over 58 we may get a swift move to the upside on the TBT.
