Treasury Bond ETF (TLT): Rally Brewing But 145 A Big Deal

Treasury Bonds and the 20 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT) have experienced a big selloff this fall. But that may be set to change, at least over the near-term.

Back in July of this year, I warned that 145 was a big deal for TLT.  This was based purely on the price patterns.

Here’s a quote from that post:

I try not to pay attention to outside fundamental/news items and just look at the charts and the PATTERNS. Trade what you see, right? I see some very stretched and parabolic fixed income assets ready to produce a rising rate environment.

From the updated chart shown below, you can see that 145 was a big deal.

From a trading standpoint, though, treasury bonds are likely to bounce. TLT has completed a “square root” correction, a 1.618 extension and measured moves… one could possibly count 5 waves down as well.

Hence, I believe we are due for a bounce in the treasury bond ETF (TLT) and would expect it to be about as big as the red arrows.
