USU09

The long-bond futures look like they could continue to do nothing for more weeks or even months. On the daily chart, the last time they created a bullish impulse legs was two months ago, in late June. Since then. however, bullish and bearish feints have canceled each other out, suggesting that indecisiveness is likely to rule for the foreseeable future.  A pop this week exceeding _____ would change that, turning the picture bullish immediately, but I am certainly not expecting it.

The bonds have looked pretty good these last couple of weeks, but it's been nearly two months since any rally managed to create a bullish impulse leg on the daily chart. There have in fact been three failures to do so, and this will make a fourth if it fizzles out anywhere south of _____.

Is this rally about to deliver on the promise of the strong trend begun in mid-June? If so we should see  the futures settle above _____ by no later than Friday. That's a midpoint resistance whose 'D' sibling lies at _____, and although it has been slightly exceeded intraday (by two ticks), a more conclusive breach is needed to clinch the bullish case for the near term. 

In just a week's time, T-bond futures have given up more than half of their impressive gains from the June lows, creating a nasty impulse leg on the intraday charts in the process. Now, they are probing for support which, from a Hidden Pivot standpoint, could materialize as high as _____, or at ______ if any lower. However, if the lower number is exceeded on a closing basis, we could see further weakness over the near term to as low as _____. _______ UPDATE (10:52 a.m.): The 115^14 target caught the low of this morning's swoon by a single tick. The futures have since recovered by nearly a full point, but if they should revisit the low and close below it, _____ would become the new downside objective.

The bonds don't look like they are in very good shape.  They have spent the last four days trying to get through po2 on the daily chart at 121-14.  The target price for this move higher is 122-26.  For price to start lower it will have to go through 118-14 and then the first price objective would be 115-24.  There remains downside pressure on price, but price remains at the same level.  The 60 min chart has downside pressure being applied to it, but it is an over extended area and trying to turn up.  Price has tried to reach po2 at 119-21 with no luck.  If price can get through 120-11 then P would be 120-29.  Now the question is, are the bonds contra to the Dow?  If the bonds rally, will it be a flight to safety?

The daily chart has downside pressure being applied to price and the entry price for a move lower would be ____with P at ___. The upward price action was stopped by PO2 at ___. The up move isn't voided yet and the second price objective would be ____. The 15 min. chart looks a little better. Pressure is trying to turn up and apply upward pressure on price. The ____ area offered resistance and on this move higher ____ and ____ could be stumbling blocks. _____should offer temporary support. If that level is broken then look for ____ for your next stop.

The bonds are in limbo right now. On the daily chart price would have to go through ____ and then P would be _____. For the up move to continue price would have to go through _____ and then the P would be _____ and the longer cycle price objectives remain the same as yesterday. There is still downside pressure being applied to the charts and the 119-04 level continues to act as resistance. The night session could carry price down to the _____ with a D of _____

In order to stimulate business and keep mortgage rates low the government is doing everything it can to hold interest rates down.  How long they will be able to borrow money from the rest of the world at these rates is a major question.   In December of last year USU09, the 30-Year Bond future, was trading at 139+;  it is now at 119-07.   There is still upside pressure being applied to the daily chart, but the indicator is in an extended area of the chart and should turn over soon.   To restart a move lower from the current high, price would have to go through 116-20 and then the first price objective would be 113-31.  Price has met resistance at the 60-minute target price, D, 119-05, and now price is trying to move higher.   The resistance points for the move are 119-14 to 119-20, and then 120-04.  I don't believe that price will reach D at 120-20, but stranger things have happened.

The rally died a couple of ticks shy of our 119^05.5 target yesterday, but I wouldn't suggest shorting there if buyers get second wind this morning, since we nearly always prefer to initiate trades on the first pass. The futures are due for a significant rest, but it would be quite impressive if they were able to eke out a little more upside first. Ideally, they would pull back to at least 116^28 to recharge, then signal a new leg up with a booster rally of at least 1^11 points.
