Cycle Trading

Pre-Summary

Bonds are breaking above the 200-day moving average, improving the daily structure while testing an important longer-term resistance area.

Bonds broke bullishly out of consolidation this week, closing above the 200-day moving average after several sessions of testing resistance. The breakout also locks in a right-translated daily cycle formation, reflecting improving internal strength. From a cycle perspective, Bonds have become stretched above the 10-day moving average following the breakout. They may need additional consolidation to allow the 10-day moving average time to catch up to price.

Bonds are currently in a daily uptrend. However, confirmation will be needed to determine whether this breakout can continue building toward a larger trend reversal. A swing high followed by a close back below the 200-day moving average would signal the daily cycle decline. For now, the breakout above the 200-day moving average represents an important technical improvement and shifts attention toward whether buyers can build on this initial strength.
