US debt instruments have traversed a tumultuous trail from last year's stock market meltdown through this year's current meltup. Bond markets usually lead equity markets and usually forecast pending price direction better than any other financial market. Taking notes of the 10-year note (TY) is a leading indicator for stocks in addition to being an excellent trading vehicle itself. |

The weekly chart view of the TY contract (Figure 1) shows recent swing highs at the 119-60 level as critical support/resistance mesh for the past 10 months and counting. The 114-60 level barely below resting price action right now is a reactionary swing point dating back to September 2008 onward. Another test of that zone is imminent: 112'+ is a deeper mesh of price magnetism just below. |
From the 112' zone, it's congestive all the way to 108'-107' swing lows from the double-bottom pattern last year. The 10-year note is almost exactly at a 50% retracement from the 106 to 126 overall range. If it fails to bounce and turn back toward the 119' layer, look for the 108' handle to be fulfilled by or before year's end. |
