BENCHMARK TREASURY YIELD: IS THE CLOUD NOW A CEILING?
U.S. Treasury yields jumped on Thursday after strong economic data all but eliminated fears about a hard economic landing and curtailed expectations that an aggressive Federal Reserve easing was coming next month.
That said, the yield still has work to do on the charts to repair the damage caused by the recent breakdown:
In late July, the yield ended below the lower boundary of the Ichimoku Cloud.
Since closing above the cloud on a weekly basis in early February 2021, the yield had not ended a week below it. Thus, the late-July break suggested a significant trend change.
Add in rising weekly Bollinger Band Width, a historical volatility measure, which has turned up from a near six-year low, and the yield would still appear to be at risk of further turbulence.
After sliding to a low of 3.667% last week, the yield reversed to the upside, hitting 4.022%. It now stands around 3.88%.
A break of this week's low, at 3.811%, can put 3.667% at risk again.
Ultimately, the April 2023 low and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the March 2020-October 2023 advance, in the 3.253%-3.2245% area, can still be a magnet, while also potentially offering fertile ground for a major low.
If instead, the yield can climb back above the cloud, which now presents a hurdle in the 4.15%-4.25% area, on a weekly closing basis, it would add confidence in the early-August low being the end of the pullback.
