BENCHMARK TREASURY YIELD: 7-WEEK WIN STREAK IN JEOPARDY
In the wake of Donald Trump's presidential election win, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield US10YT=RR surged to a more than four-month high on Wednesday. However, now, in the wake of the Fed's 25 basis point rate cut on Thursday, U.S. Treasury yields are dropping across the board.
With this, the 10-year yield's seven-week win streak is now at risk of ending:
On Wednesday, the yield, which hit 4.479%, probed above the resistance line from its October 2023 high. However, the yield failed to end above this hurdle, which now resides around 4.44%.
The yield has since retreated and now stands around 4.32%. A close Friday below 4.363% will end its seven-week win streak. The yield last rose more than seven weeks in a row with a 12-week run of gains into its October 2022 high.
Additionally, last week the yield ended back above the upper boundary of the weekly Ichimoku Cloud for the first time since late June, suggesting a significant trend change to the upside.
However, with the reversal, the yield is back below the upper boundary, which resides around 4.365%, and is threatening the lower boundary which is around 4.30%.
Trading below the Cloud's lower boundary, confirmed by the weekly close, can flip pressure back to the downside.
Initial levels would then be at the 55-week moving average, which is now around 4.20%, and the 200-day moving average which is now around 4.19%.
The October 16 low was at 3.995%, while the September trough was at 3.599%.
Reclaiming the upper boundary of the Cloud, followed by a close above the resistance line, can keep the yield focused on the upside.
The April high was at 4.739% and the October 2023 peak was at 5.021%.
