At The Crossroads…

Earlier this month we saw bond yields ”spike“. However, they have recovered fairly nicely. But bonds are about to hit a crossroads. Is this just a normal retracement that is going to lead to the new down leg in bonds (and thus give equities another boost) or was this just a buy in the dip opportunity?
The Chart
Below is the chart of 30 Year U.S. Treasury Bond futures. As you see, there are 3 distinct areas/levels. We have the ~135 area which has been support. The 140 area is a clear inflection point while the ~145 area has been resistance. If 140 is not reclaimed and is rejected, I think the 135 area is likely to break. The more an area gets tested, the higher probability it has to break, especially with the equity market grinding to new highs.
