10-year yields traded on the backfoot throughout the Tuesday session, despite a
modest recovery ahead of the close. Bears look to close below Oct 26 lows at
3.0549 to suggest a double top is forming. The projection from the double top
would set a target at 2.85%, just below the up trendline support from April
lows. First, we would need to break below the up trendline support from the Sep
2017 lows/the 100-dma which come in around 3.00%, below which would suggest the
broader trend is in favour of lower yields. For yields to move higher, markets
need to break the 50-dma to return focus to the recent cycle highs.
