The downtrend in Treasuries is intact and a fresh cycle low Tuesday reinforces a bear theme. The move down keeps cycle lows in play and of particular interest given that in yield terms, the psychological 5% level has been breached. Sights are on 105-10+, the Oct 19 ‘23 low on the continuation chart. Initial firm resistance is 107-09, at the 20-day EMA. Short-term would be considered corrective.
