Treasury Yields Near a Bottom – 12/07/23.

For several months there’s been an inverse relationship between U.S. stocks and U.S. government debt yields/rates.  The recent manic U.S. stock rally since late October corresponds with the U.S. 30 – year Treasury yield (TYX) decline.  Near – term  the TYX appears it could be making a bottom.

The daily TYX chart courtesy of Trading View illustrates what’s been happening.

TYX  has moved just below a Fibonacci .618 retracement of the 06/26/23 to 10/23/23 rally.  Just below the recent low is chart support from two August 2023 bottoms.  This is a logical area where at least an intermediate bottom could form.

Supporting this theory is the daily RSI which reached the oversold zone on 12/06/23.  MACD – Histogram has a bullish divergence.

The decline from 10/23/23 to 12/06/23 in Elliott wave terms appears impulsive.  If so this implies an intermediate move up in TYX, then another decline.  If a rally does develop soon, it’s  possible the entire TYX decline from October could terminate in late December or early January2024.
