The near-term trend is down and the intermediate trend is sideways.

The reversal of roles is an important concept in technical analysis. 2.1% was support on the last chart analysis: this level is now resistance.

Reference the last chart analysis of the U.S. Treasury 10-Year posted on March 30, 2012 showing the failure to break resistance of 2.40%.

U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note showing support and resistance levels.

U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note

I last charted the U.S. 10-Year Treasury on March 16, 2012 when it broke the resistance level of 2.10% on the weekly chart. The new support level is now 2.10%. Over the last two weeks it has been unable to break the major resistance level of 2.40%. You have these two key points to set your alerts.

The S&P500 Index is up 29% from the October, 2011 low and 22% from the November, 2011 retracement. When you trade stocks, you deal with probabilities. And there is an increased probability of a correction, in the range of a 50% retracement, after a 20% move in an index or a stock. You must give increased weight to any topping pattern on the charts. Yes, be a little bit cautious and maybe a little fearful. You can always count on two attributes of the market: fear and greed.

U.S. Treasury 10-year note chart analysis

Major resistance for the 10-year note is 2.40%
Near-term uptrend for the 10-year treasury with major resistance at 2.40%.  The new support level is 2.10% and the intermediate trend is sideways.

US Treasury 10-Year Yield Weekly Chart

U.S. Treasury 10-year note has been trading in an intermediate lateral band of 1.80% to 2.10% for the past six months. The reversal of roles is an important concept in technical analysis and the old resistance level of 2.1% is now the new support level. Can the index breakout above 2.4% which is a major resistance level that was tested last October? Or will the TNX ease into another lateral trading band with 2.10% as the new support level?

Reference the last chart analysis for the 10-year treasury based on the weekly chart when it was unable to break the resistance level of 2.40% last October.

“Unless you want to earn an inflation adjusted return of minus 2-3% as offered by Treasury bills, then you must take risk in some form.” Bill Gross
