The Case for Higher U.S. Interest Rates – March 2026

The 03/14/26 blog “Update U.S. 30 – Year Treasury Yield – Elliott Wave Count – 03/13/26” illustrated that the U.S. 30 – Year Treasury Yield (TYX) had probably completed a multi- year Elliott wave – Horizontal Triangle.

The weekly TYX chart courtesy of Trading View updates the action.

During the week of 03/16/26 to 03/20/26 an important upside breakout occurred.

Note that from an Elliott wave perspective that based on the internal wave structure of the presumed Intermediate wave ( E ) there are two ways to identify the peak of the presumed Intermediate wave ( D ).  Either the 01/05/26 or the 01/20/26 peak.  

From the perspective of standard Technical analysis, the important point is the peak made during the week of 01/20/26 at 4.95.  The move above this secondary top also broke the multi-month declining trendline from the May 2025 primary peak.

TYX could very soon be at the multi-year double peak at 5.15.   Triple peaks are rare, a move above 5.15 could trigger a rally to at least 6.00. 

Evidence from the weekly RSI supports the theory of a bull trend.  The most recent weekly RSI reading is 59.73, the overbought zone begins at 70.00.

In the next few weeks TYX could be above 5.15.
