CBT - U.S. TEN YEAR NOTE (Dec) – Daily

Near Term Trend: Neutral to Negative
Friday’s Close: 126’205 (- 4.0) Yield: 2.75%
UPDATE: Prior to last week’s trading, we stated, “At this time, the market may continue to consolidate within the triangle (two red lines). However, a close below 126’10, sell outright”.
Five trading days later, and this market continues to consolidate within our proprietary support and resistance lines. Also, the low trades last week were 126’13 & 126’15 – well above our 126’10 pivot.
NOTE: Volatility remains low, and this week’s pivot will be moved up to 126’13, from 126’10 due to slope of the uptrend line. Sell on a close below 126’13.
