01-29-24 “Break The Rules” To Break The Ice Jam

-----------------------
Erratic buys Blow our minds Bears feel alright What does mechanical trading, dipping volatility, and bubbling crude tell us? Short-term Treasuries are losing hope in a March ease while the long-end is ambivalent. Bonds like ebbing inflation, but they wonder about persistent debt-driven growth.The 10-year rate trend remains down and trapped. The bull targets are 3.95 and 3.77, while the bears fight 4.19, with a 4.27 target to capture the trend. Will this week's action break the ice jam? Going to the barchart tech. Selling high and getting wrecked. Bulls don't wanna go to school. They just wanna break the rules. ------------------------------- Song: Break the Rules (2014) Charli XCX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABhDiXbUaBE
